Colm T贸ib铆n, Miranda Rutter & Rob Harbron, Iain Sinclair on John Deakin
Long Island - Colm T贸ib铆n's follow-up to bestselling novel Brooklyn, Bird Tunes - Miranda Rutter and Rob Harbron's new folk album, Iain Sinclair on photographer John Deakin's Soho
Colm T贸ib铆n's not a fan of follow-ups so why has he written a sequel to his bestseller Brooklyn, which was made into a film starring Saoirse Ronan? He talks to Tom Sutcliffe about not overwriting sex - and how Domhnall Gleeson's screen performance as a "quiet Irishman" in Brooklyn inspired him.
Miranda Rutter and Rob Harbron's new folk album, Bird Tunes, is inspired by birdsong they hear in woods in the Cotswolds. They perform a track on fiddle and concertina and talk about how manipulating the sounds made by blackbirds, wrens and cuckoos helped to inspire musical phrases in different keys.
Photographer John Deakin is now often overlooked, but he chronicled the artistic underbelly of mid-century Soho with iconic pictures, including those used by Francis Bacon. Iain Sinclair, whose new book Pariah/Genius revives Deakin, retraces his footsteps around town.
