The last in the current series is this Christmas wreath of flowers, rosehips and bramble foliage  entwined together with all the voices, the sounds and the music that have appeared during this extraordinary year.  I had no idea that when I called this podcast, back in January, 'Changing Lives', the title would prove so prescient.   The podcast suddenly changed completely as it ran along to keep up with events and reinvent itself...interviews moving from homes, offices and community halls to Zoom and more Zoom.  But with Zoom I could suddenly travel all over the world and, with YouTube, I discovered a bewitching world of musicians who have allowed me so generously to use their work.  All the details of the podcasts you'll find in their own introductions but the musicians I will mention here.  The next series of 'Changing Lives' will start at the end of January.  Happy Christmas and thank you very much to all the brilliant people who let me into their lives with my microphone and to you for listening!
