Soundings with Lisa Hannigan & Dylan Haskins Soundings - with Dylan Haskins and Lisa Hannigan

Dylan and Lisa are joined by comedian and actress Sharon Horgan, war photographer Giles Duley, TV presenter Andrea Oliver and Hudson Taylor team up with Gabrielle Aplin to provide the sweet tunes.
The first of three shows recorded live at the National Trust’s Sutton House in Hackney, east London. Among our guests’ stories and songs to inspire, alarm and humour we hear how a human turd was an important catalyst in Sharon Horgan’s life and indirectly led to her successful career writing TV series like Channel 4’s ‘Catastrophe’, how to correctly pronounce Neneh Cherry and some of the positives about being blown up in Afghanistan.

Sutton House, our venue for this show, was built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadleir, Principal Secretary of State to Henry VIII and a protege of Thomas Cromwell. It’s the oldest residential building in Hackney. Since its Tudor origins Sutton House has been home to a succession of merchants, sea captains, Huguenot silk-weavers, Victorian schoolmistresses and Edwardian clergy.
