    Paul invites John to his studio, Black Barn, to discuss why – after more than four decades as one of Britain’s greatest singer songwriters - he’s still as excited to be making new music today as when he first started writing songs as Beatles-obsessed teenager. He discusses how his latest album, the acclaimed True Meanings, reflects on age and mortality, and reveals how a battered acoustic guitar provided the totemic inspiration behind some of his best loved songs, from That’s Entertainment to Wild Wood.

    In a wonderfully candid conversation Ivor Novello Award winning singer songwriter Tom Odell remembers – and sings – the first song he ever wrote as a child and reveals his latest musical ideas, all recorded on his phone’s Voice Memo. He discusses the influence of his song-writing heroes, Fleet Foxes, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Leonard Cohen, and why staring out of windows is the key to lyrical inspiration.
