Sir Lenny Henry is the Rewind Selector, choosing the tracks that take him back to the dance floors of his youth.

He'll be touring the UK throughout the year. He is also the face of Channel 4’s Legends of Comedy with Lenny Henry, a documentary series celebrating comedy pioneers and exploring how Britain’s great comics found their voice.
