…and have a floordrobe full of t-shirts.

A friend’s random FB post – she’d heard a song of his on the radio, and was looking for more – reminded me how great Chris Stapleton is, and a search for suggestions led me to this, which has proved a cathartic blub-fest.

Can’t beat a good cry. What opens the flood gates for you lot?

Late to the party?

As I shuffle towards the start of my seventh decade, it becomes ever more apparent to me that I’m often late to the party, if indeed I ever arrive. It may be that the more happening among the Massive are already familiar with Lowkey’s work, but until I heard on the radio news at lunchtime the linked interview – topical with today’s opening of the Grenfell Inquiry – I was totally unaware of his existence.

The interview included snippets from his memorial track, and intrigued I sought it out. The video will be the first comment. See whether you can listen to the list at the end without crying. I couldn’t.

What have other AWers come to discover only belatedly?
