RT lyric fm launches new Where Life Sounds Greener inserts

Where Life Sounds Greener is a series of new inserts on RT lyric fm, as listeners are invited to meet some extraordinary people, each one driven by their love of nature, and hear the music that has inspired them in their connection with the natural world.

As spring unfolds from February 1st, programmed across the week, RT lyric fm will introduce listeners to passionate ecologists, musicians, artists, filmmakers and writers, as they share their inspirations. Where Life Sounds Greener promises to be an important celebration of the beauty and fragility of our world.

The series of inserts will feature people who work to protect and nourish our rich oceans, waterways, bogs and forests, and the animals and insects that live there. How has the power of music and the arts motivated them? How has music encouraged and inspired their connection with the natural world at a time when we need it most?

Tina Claffey captures minute bog universes through her lens; Sam Lee sings with the nightingales; Vincent Woods has created his own magical urban wood; and Cathy Davey sings songs to her rescued horses and pigs. These and more share their connection with the Earth, and acknowledge that a simple song or tune can hold so much power when we need inspiration and motivation.
