This week’s Spotify playlist

Each week a playlist is curated on Spotify to go along with the blog. The pieces chosen reflect the articles in some way and are a mixture of old and new, folk, traditional and classical music. Sometimes there are surprises – bird song or ocean sounds – and it is always fun to search out these unusual pieces for readers.

To listen you can click on the play button above. You can also search Spotify for “Music to read a blog by”. Paying Spotify subscribers will hear all the tracks uninterrupted, free subscriptions will intersperse advertising, and others will hear snippets of each track.
