Nadia Reid chats with Tom Sharkett from W.H. Lung, and Jason Solomons talks love letters with Emilíana Torrini at the Cinedrome

In this next episode of the Green Man podcast, we're a fly on the wall to a conversation between Nadia Reid and Tom Sharkett from the band W.H.Lung, but now a member of Nadia's band. Together, they reflect on some of their favourite performances at Green Man over the years. In the second half of this episode, we're joined by Jason Solomons from the Cinedrome, as he talks to Emilíana Torrini and Zoe Flower, about the film based on her mother - The Extraordinary Miss Flower, a 2024 documentary about Geraldine Flower, a woman whose collection of 1960s and 70s love letters inspired a film. “Ten years of documenting my life in song,” says Nadia Reid of her career so far. The New Zealand artist captured hearts immediately with early albums such as 2014’s Listen To Formation, Look For The Signs and 2017’s Preservation. All change for her new album Enter Now Brightness, made in the throes of morning sickness before moving across the world to Manchester and giving birth to a second child. Circumstances change, but the timeless poise of her music remains unaltered. W.H. Lung So-named after a Chinese wholesale supermarket in their home city of Manchester, W.H. Lung have cultivated a steadfast live reputation over the last few years, their sound growing increasingly urgent with each new album. Latest offering Every Inch Of Earth Pulsates does indeed pulsate, with driving, expansive indie and synth pop, and shades of New Order and Sea Power. The Extraordinary Miss Flower is a film about the life of Geraldine Flower, whose discovered suitcase of letters inspired Icelandic singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini to compose, and star in the movie. Directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, with Geraldine's daughter, Zoe Flower co-producing.
