Yoshika Colwell live from Maida Vale and Selena Wisnom
UK based singer-songwriter Yoshika Colwell joins Cerys for a live session and Mesopotamian specialist Selena Wisnom chats about her new book, The Library of Ancient Wisdom.
Cerys handpicks your eclectic Sunday soundtrack and welcomes UK based singer-songwriter Yoshika Colwell live from Maida Vale to perform tracks from her new album, On The Wing.
Known for her introspective, folk-inflected music, Yoshika's new album explores themes shaped by a decade of significant life changes, and touches on self-discovery, nature, time, and mortality.
Plus, lecturer in the Heritage of the Middle East at the University of Leicester, Selena Wisnom discusses her latest book, The Library of Ancient Wisdom: Mesopotamia and the Making of History, which explores how ancient Mesopotamian knowledge鈥攑reserved in King Ashurbanipal鈥檚 library鈥攕haped the roots of modern civilisation.
All this alongside a mixed bag of records from Cerys' vintage and classic collection, in addition to her favourite new finds this week.
