Dear readers, My playlist this week is inspired by a world so ostentatious that it may even be more flashy than that of music. A medium which draws a fascination from even those who own more albums by Boyzone than…
Dear readers, This week I present to you a playlist of which I am particularly proud. The subject was born from the many celebrations my dear friend Elizabeth has been inspiring of late, and the many, many toasts we have…
