Paul Farley’s Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker presents ambient and electronic sounds, while poet Paul Farely shares a track that has the power to transport him elsewhere.

Elizabeth Alker selects new ambient and electronic sounds, and invites the poet Paul Farley into the Unclassified Listening Chair. Farley - an award-winning writer and broadcaster - is highly prized for his keen-eyed and sensitively-worded explorations of the world and its everyday mysteries; less well known is his long-standing and profound connection with a wide spectrum of music. He’ll be choosing and describing a piece that transports him to another place and time.
