Cultural Life: Alison Moyet, singer
Your support helps us to tell the story
In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.
Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.
Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

Music
Elbow's 'Leaders of the Free World' is the current album I have set to repeat. The beauty of Guy Garvey's voice contracts the throat and makes your breath catch. Poetry cupped in a sound that can only come from a group truly connected is everything I need.
Books
I have been reading all things Robin Hobb lately. 'The Farseer' and 'The Tawny Man' trilogies. I am now into the third of 'The Liveship Traders' series. Utterly compelling and well-written high fantasy novels all set in the same world. I will read 'Winter In Madrid' next by C J Sansom, having recently enjoyed his 16th-century Matthew Shardlake crime series, and I am about to read Robert Harris's 'Lustrum'.
Films
I like a bit of European when it comes to film. A regular favourite is the Dutch film 'Antonia's Line' by Marleen Gorris. I am working through the Almódovar collection right now. Just seen 'Bad Education' and 'All About My Mother'. He does like a lady boy.
Visual arts
As for art, we have hung my old bicycle in a tree for want of a better place for it. I see that everyday. It looks right.
Alison Moyet 'The Best Of' is released on Monday on Sony Music
