Rob Cowen and Johnny Flynn at Thornborough Henges
About this episode
Rob Cowen and Johnny Flynn explore the history of Thornborough Henges while discussing creativity and music.
We’re going back to Neolithic times with the award winning author Rob Cowen (“Common Ground” and “North Road”) and his friend the actor and singer Johnny Flynn. For two thousand years the Thornborough Henges in what is now Yorkshire were used as ceremonial spaces and later became Bronze Age burial grounds. As we walk through these enormous circular monuments, Rob explains why he’s fascinated by their history and Johnny sings songs of burial and deep time. The pair reflect on their approach to creativity and shared passion for music. --- We rely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road. If you like what we do please either...
