Paul Simon and Charlie Mackesy, the Chanel exhibition, Wagner’s Das Rheingold and Kamila Shamsie.
When the artist Charlie Mackesy, best-known for his book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, heard Paul Simon’s most recent album, the acclaimed Seven Psalms, he was inspired to create a sketch for each ‘psalm’. They both join us on Front Row.
In the last of our interviews with all the authors shortlisted for the ±«Óãtv National Short Story Award we talk to Kamila Shamsie about her story Churail.
Gabrielle Chanel opens at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Das Rheingold, the first part of Wagner’s Ring Cycle opens at the Royal Opera House in London. Head of Fashion at the Telegraph, Lisa Armstrong and writer Philip Hensher join us to review them both.
