To mark over 60 years of Neil Young making music, Norwegian pop star Sigrid shares stories from his career and plays some of her favourite songs, that mean so much to her.

Norwegian pop star Sigrid is a huge fan of Neil Young, as is her whole family.

Her father and mother got together through a shared love of his music, and along with her brother and sister, they have spent many years playing his songs together around the piano in the family home.

Sigrid wants to share her passion for Neil Young with the world, who has been making music for over 60 years.

Alongside an incredible back catalogue of songs, including Harvest Moon, Heart Of Gold, Cinnamon Girl and Train Of Love to name just a few, there are some remarkable stories to be told.

Emily Eavis tells the story of how he had to pull out of Glastonbury in 1997 because he injured his finger making a sandwich, before he eventually headlined in 2009. She also discusses how his songs have impacted politics.

Jake Bugg shares his thoughts on Neil Young writing four of his biggest songs, whilst he was seriously ill in bed with a high fever.

Record producer and train aficionado Pete Waterman explains how Neil Young’s love of model railway saved it from collapse in the U.S.

Recorded in front of a piano, Sigrid also takes the opportunity to play a few of her favourite Neil Young songs, including Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Keep On Rockin’ In The Free World and Cowgirl In The Sand.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 2 Folk Show host Mark Radcliffe shares his thoughts on the impact Neil Young has made on the musical landscape, whilst Far Out Magazine editor and Neil Young fan Jack Whatley provides a whistle stop tour of his career in 60 seconds.
