My sisters, Catherine & Lizzy form the popular country duo, Ward Thomas and they are about to busk in a different city each week in the run up to Cop 26, raising money for environmental charities and awareness for the climate crisis. I decided to get them on Planet & The People to find out more and to enjoy a meandering conversation where we discussed our obsession with climate change & exchanged some encouraging news stories, while also looking back at the podcast series so far. Ward-Thomas recently released their fourth studio album, Invitation . Their second album, Cartwheels was the first ever UK country album to make Number One in the official UK album charts. Notable hits include Carry You Home , No Filter, Cartwheels, Not Just Me and most recently Stranger. They have released a live recorded duet with Jack Savoretti, covering Humans by Brandon Flowers, which they recorded while supporting Jack on his European tour. They also supported David Gray on his Australian tour and before the first lockdown they were touring with James Blunt, with whom they recorded a shared single Halfway. They were planning their own fifth UK tour for May which has since been postponed three times but is now scheduled for November. For more about Ward Thomas, their website is: https://www.wardthomasmusic.co.uk From the week of the 17th May until COP 26 in November, they will be busking in a different city around the country to raise money for environmental organisations.

Fashion is something we all enjoy, whether purely as a function or as a passion, but it's impacts on the environment have only relatively recently started to be talked about.

Having made a career in theatre and film as a writer and actor, I like to think the arts can be pretty powerful in lots of ways, but how can it be used to inspire us about climate change?

In 2011 her play 'Jumpy' starring Tamsin Grieg, received much acclaim. April is also a longstanding activist and a part of Extinction Rebellion. She has a new play, 'Extinct' coming out at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, which she talks to me about in the episode.
