Diverse songs which are occasionally dramatically different
Fantastical and otherwordly experience
It took me a few full listens of the album to love each and every song. Marceline was the first song I listened to and I completely adored it, often describing it to friends with Florence and the Machine type vocals against Lorde instrumentals. But the rest of the album is vastly different and experimental. I love the imagery in Willow's lyrics and the flexibility of her voice and songs. Vocally she is incredibly talented and her songs feel very organic and personal. Overal I love this album but some tracks will be hit and miss with some listeners.

Lying on the floor of her flat in Cherry Tree, 84-year-old Florence thinks about her past and present. She wonders about the new resident who closely resembles a man from her youth. A man her and Elsie had tried to forget. Joanna Cannon has written a wonderful exploration of old age, nostalgia and memory and cleverly combined it with solving a mystery from the past. There are moments of complete wisdom and some of naivety and a few that were poignant and funny. This is a profound book that has been praised for it’s tenderness but it made me laugh out loud as much as contemplate the pros and cons of old age.

    ‘Europiana’ is the follow-up to Jack’s breakthrough 2019 album ‘Singing to Strangers’, his...

Typically convoluted P.G. WodehousePG Wodehouse 'Jeeves and Wooster' farce, in which the bumbling but good-natured Bertie Wooster finds himself affianced, against his will, to Florence Craye, which her former fiancee - 'Stilton' Cheesewright - does not take at all kindly to and whilst Bertie's 'good and deserving' Aunt Dahlia is trying to offload her weekly magazine, 'Milady's Boudoir', to a rich buyer who insists she also throws in her chef Anatole into the mix.

Throw in a clutch of pearls, Jeeves strongly disapproving of Bertie's newest fad (a moustache), layabout poets and various other romantic entanglements and misunderstandings and you have all the ingredients of another classic farce that is well worth a read!
