BONUS EPISODE | Hayden Thorpe

In this episode, we’re joined by Hayden Thorpe — singer, songcrafter — for a rich conversation about his evocative album Ness. Inspired by Robert Macfarlane’s haunting epic poem of the same name and visually brought to life by illustrator Stanley Donwood, Ness is a bold fusion of music, literature, and landscape. Hayden shares how he approached adapting the poem into song, the creative process behind the album, and why the mysterious setting of Orford Ness became such a powerful source of inspiration.

We also explore Hayden’s upbringing in the Lake District, discussing how place and nature continue to shape his creative work. Plus, he shares his love of running and some memorable tales from the fells.
