Edith Bowman explores the emotional power of songwriting with four special guests.

Edith Bowman is joined by actor Alan Cumming, singer Sigrid, racing driver Jamie Chadwick and comedian Phil Wang, who all tell us about the songs that make them cry.

Edith Bowman talks to four guests, from four different professions, about the songs that makes them cry, both tears of joy and tears of sadness. Actor Alan Cumming treats us to a mash up of The Proclaimers, David Guetta, Sia and Midnight Oil, whilst singer/songwriter Sigrid, picks a Neil Young song which reminds her of home. W Series champion Jamie Chadwick recalls crying on a plane when she heard the Cinematic Orchestra, and comedian Phil Wang has never been happier than when he sang Handel’s “Zadok The Priest” in Bath Abbey. 

Filled with heart and hilarity, you’re bound to discover something new for your playlist, and about our guests.
