"My son Ben went to Elliot School, which is quite famous for producing musicians. The first one that I knew was Kieran Hebden, who makes music as Four Tet. There was a culture at one point that was encouraging people. Ben was in the same class as the xx’s Romy [Madley-Croft] and he knew Jamie [Smith] quite well, and I knew his parents. We even went to their holiday house in Norfolk. The xx were the shy ones, they were like a little gang. Jamie was the most outgoing one, and he was pretty shy. I knew quite a lot about how that record happened, that they tried first with a producer and then did it in a house studio. We were living just down the road from where that was going on."

Will Young recommended Abbey Road by The Beatles in Music (curated)

"I came across that when we were all on a family holiday and we just played it the whole trip. I think it was around the time I was ten or 11, and we just played it constantly. It may have been around the time we had changed from tapes to CDs, and so my parents were re-buying stuff they had on vinyl. I don't remember thinking at the time that they all flowed into each other - [sings various clips] - but I know every bit of that album though, every hook and drum fill. It was so varied yet so cohesive, and I think a lot of that was down to George Martin. I'd never heard anything like it, and even at that age I was blown away by it."

Thriller

This story is about a girls holiday gone wrong, very wrong.

I really enjoyed this book, I wasnt really expecting the whole plot to be about the lie and was surprised by this. I think it made it much better. I really hope that this hasnt happened in real life - what an absolute nightmare

The characters were interesting and believable. Some of the people at the retreat could have been better embellished to make them more creepier.

I enjoyed the two different time frames throughout and was hungry to read more about the events that led to the lie. At one point I felt the present day story was exceeding the historical account but this thought soon disappeared and it levelled out.
