Third fifteen mins of Front Row is about this new collaborative album about the curlew with guests including the Unthanks and Talvin Singh. It is wonderful, I bought the CD straight off.

‘Biological loss is cultural loss.’ says Merlyn Driver talking about his album Simmerdin: Curlew Sounds on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row. I have to say, I agree.

I wrote a thing about my love of long train journeys, train pros and cons, and why I’ve started a new initiative at Making Tracks based around slow travel of artists to UK.

Great BBC Front Row piece on the Curlew as an inspiration in art for, among others, Yeats, Heaney, Dylan Thomas and Merlyn Driver.

I would add the Harp advertisement in the 80s that began with an homesick emigrant in the gulf 'You won't hear the cry of the Curlew out here...'

On Curlews - moving to hear Merlyn Driver at re-peat.earth on the astonishing and varied ways that these birds call to each other over the year, depending on ever smaller islands of habitat.

One more reason why carbon emitted in to the atmosphere where it stays for 100s of years cannot be treated as one and the same as carbon captured by trees in the ‘biological’ or ‘short’ carbon cycle
