Musical Interlude: Chappell Roan

I absolutely get the hype here. This lady is a born performance artist with a really impressive voice. Every one of her songs is a total earworm. Every now and then I'm getting slight Kate Bush vibes, but that might just be a me thing? Really looking forward to more of this. Her live performances on American late night have been pretty show-stopping. 

Romantic poets didn't tend to have long careers. Keats died in 1821, Shelley the year after in 1822, and Byron two years after that in 1824. They were aged 25, 29 and 36 respectively. Yikes!

Also exploring the poetry of James Hogg, with a lovely reading by Alan McClure in the original Scots. 

Check out his YouTube channel Tales Fae the Shed, and his children's book Callum and the Mountain.

Huge thanks also to my friend Jan for her help translating to English.
