S5 Ep12: INTIWH - James Morrison
<div> “That’s what I’ve always tried to lean into is playing live, writing the songs and playing them live, is mainly why I’m still doing it, you know? I never get tired of playing live. I never get tired of making stuff up and seeing where I can go with it” - James Morrison<br> <br> Chris is joined by singer-songwriter James Morrison to talk about the fine art of music making and the highs and lows that an artist experiences. James was inspired from a very early age by his parent's record collection, and soon he was learning guitar and other people's songs. By his late teens he was fitting carpets by day and playing open mics at night before finally signing a deal and releasing his first album 'Undiscovered' in 2006. And James' debut was an instant success making him the biggest selling male solo artist in the UK that year.<br> <br> James has since recorded 3 more albums, and his 5th, 'Fight Another Day', is due out in early October 2025.</div>

S5 Ep11: INTIWH - Kelsie Watts
<div> "It's a universal language, it really is. Even if you're not speaking the language... you know, you can sing these songs and it'd just be like a wave of emotion and they can relate to it, even if they can't understand the words you're saying" - Kelsie Watts<br> <br> With Chris for this episode is Kelsie Watts who's currently performing in the huge award winning Broadway hit "Six The Musical" based on the wives of Henry VIII, with Kelsie playing the part of Jane Seymour. She's also pursuing a pop career, and has worked with Backstreet Boy AJ McLean and has toured with Joss Stone and stadium rockers Trans-Siberian Express.<br> <br> Kelsie grew up in a musical family in Lubbock, Texas - famously Buddy Holly's hometown - and studied opera at Belmont University in Nashville. In 2020 she was invited by the producers of The Voice to take part, where she made a huge impression with an astonishing cover of Kelly Clarkson's "I Dare You" that quickly went viral.</div>

S5 Ep10: INTIWH - Craig Armstrong
<div>"A professor of mine said a very true thing to me. He said, you know the great thing about music Craig is that you’ll never really know anything about it" - Craig Armstrong<br> <br> This episode features a fascinating conversation with the multi-genre spanning musician and composer Craig Armstrong. Craig has collaborated with huge artists like U2, Madonna and Massive Attack, toured with Ultravox in their mid-Eighties pomp and has written for The Royal Shakespeare Company and scored films like Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo + Juliet'. And he's also found time to make his own records, his latest being a collaboration with Calum Martin inspired by Gaelic psalm singing.</div>
