About this episode
A live conversation with Mark Vernon, Katy Carr and Dexter Bentley from the Hello Goodbye Show.
Who was William Blake? What might his music have sounded like? What did he say about the imagination? Why might he understand our predicament today?

Katy played six songs - her settings of the Introductions from the Songs of Innocence and also from the Songs of Experience, as well as The Lamb and TheTyger, and finally London and The Blossom.
