Hearspool 18: A Weeping Willow is the latest hourlong experimental radio production from Momus, broadcast on Basic.FM and available here as an mp3.
In it you hear spiritual guru Eckhart Tolle, Howard Devoto, my mother Jo Currie reading Saint Augustine, excerpts from ghost films The Innocents (Jack Clayton) and Whistle And I’ll Come To You (Jonathan Miller), an improvised story I made in 1993, the folksongs of Rambling Syd Rumpo (performed by Kenneth Williams, written by Marty Feldman and Barry Took), some swirls of Georges Auric, an art critic talking about Joseph Beuys, and an extract from A Case For Doctor Morelle, a 1950s radio series.'
