Poet, playwright, musician and novelist Simon Armitage discusses his new poetry collection – New Cemetery – which sees him contemplate the death of his father, and he performs one of the poems about his dad. Justine Beverley’s music blends American country with Scottish folk and a touch of French pop. Len talks to her about her upcoming gig in her hometown of Dundee and her bilingual songwriting, and we will be adding her new single, Passenger Seat, to Len’s Arts Mixtape.
