What (possibly) links plainchant to football chant? Me in this weekend’s FT! ig.ft.com/life-of-a-song/whe…

When the Saints Go Marching In — Louis Armstrong put his stamp on a tune with a rich history

The great trumpeter channelled the song’s New Orleans roots, though some claim it goes back a thousand years

My love letter to Paul, Linda and James Bond. ig.ft.com/life-of-a-song/liv…

Live and Let Die — Paul McCartney’s song helped take Bond into a new era

His track for the 1973 film was unusually structured, including a section written by Linda McCartney, and gave rise to a memorable cover version

Some excellent music reportage from @FreyaParr! theguardian.com/music/2023/m…

‘Everyone is being frisked – how thrilling!’ Fred Again rocks the Outer Hebrides

The DJ is used to headlining huge stages, but fondness for these islands led him to schedule a three-date island tour here with euphoric results for a lucky few

Daniel Pioro on Richter’s Recomposed: ‘It’s essentially a Premier Inn that describes itself as a remake of the Vatican.’ A glorious rinse. thetimes.co.uk/article/danie…

‘Some conductors are like HR people. What do they bring to anything?’

At the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, there was a horse that refused to jump over obstacles in the pentathlon, losing his rider a gold medal. His name was Saint Boy. “
