S2 Ep16: Fenne Lily (plus Ross Harris and Charlie Ramirez)

31 minutes

To kick off the final episode of our second season, we speak to the musician Fenne Lily.

Fenne is based in Bristol in the UK and released her first album, On Hold, in 2018. She's currently preparing to release her second record and kindly took some time out to chat to us about her favourite Elliott Smith song, what she learns from Elliott's writing and why she didn't become a fully fledged fan until a little bit later on.

After we speak to Fenne, we delve into the podcast archives to pick out a couple of clips from our S1E6 interview with Ross Harris, who directed the video for Fenne's favourite song pick.

We round this all of with a special listener pick, which today come from Charlie Ramirez, the founder of Elliott Smith fansite, SweetAdeline.net. Charlie talks us through his favourite song pick, as well as a few stories from his time working on Sweet Adeline.

Thanks for your support of the podcast over the course of this season, it's hugely appreciated. We'll be back with a new series very soon.
