Description
I'm delighted to launch the 'Great Scot!' podcast series with the wonderful Annie Lennox - music superstar and celebrated humanitarian and activist. Named as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone, she has sold over 80 million records worldwide, and won countless awards and accolades including more Brit Awards than any other female artist in history. In 2008 she founded global women's rights organisation, The Circle. I hope you'll enjoy our conversation recorded during the Covid-19 Lockdown. This is Annie away from the bright lights, talking candidly from her home in Los Angeles, where memories of her early life in Aberdeen are as strong as ever.
