In an interview special Charles and Graham interview York-born singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich ahead of his new album.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich released his first album Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm in 2011 which made the Top 40 on the UK album charts and kick started his successful career to date. He is celebrating the ten years since with the release of his fourth album, To Carry a Whale.
