On today’s weekly music show on Arts24, Jennifer Ben Brahim speaks to the singer of one of the most successful British bands of the last decade. Bastille stormed the UK charts in 2013 with their debut album “Bad Blood”, spawning smash-hits like “Pompeii”. Four records later, Dan Smith has taken a gap year of sorts, releasing a solo Bastille album that blends music with his love of history called “& (Ampersand)”. It shines a spotlight on historical figures including Edvard Munch and even his own father. Dan Smith has brought this new music on tour, with seven special one-off shows around the world, including Paris.
