Send for Jones 'The Breath'

Liza shares an impeccable playlist and some of your more niche genealogical discoveries, from shingles blowing to the millionaire behind mauve.

The genealogical discovery of the week is so niche, that we鈥檝e never heard of it. But Bethan of Mile End has traced a great-great-grandfather Jones who was a shingles blower. Old Mr Magic Breath, or should that be Mr Hot Air? Elsewhere, we hear from a descendant of Sir William Henry Perkin, chemist and serendipitous inventor of the colour mauve.

Liza鈥檚 playlist matches this impressive pedigree, with a childhood favourite from The Four Lads; a song from Etta James that鈥檚 arguably better than 鈥楢t Last鈥�; a cracking live track from The Specials; and a 1949 record from Betty 鈥楬otpot鈥� Driver.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: "Ask 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck."
