DESCRIPTION:I will discuss recent progress in extracting excited meson spe
 ctra and radiative transition rates using lattice QCD.  I will explain som
 e of the techniques used\, but also emphasise results\, their interpretati
 on and relevant experiments.  Results on the light meson spectrum will be 
 presented where a combination of new techniques have enabled us to extract
  a very extensive spectrum\, including many states with exotic quantum num
 bers and\, for the first time\, spin-four states.  I will also mention som
 e results in the charmonium sector\, including the first lattice QCD calcu
 lation of radiative transition rates involving excited charmonia\, highlig
 hting results for exotic states and interpreting the results phenomenologi
 cally.  I conclude with some comments on future prospects.\n
