Charlotte Church

Об эпизоде

<p>Charlotte Church is full of surprises. An opera singer turned alt-pop star and political activist who’s now turned to nature and sound healing. Famous at 11 with a no 1 album in the classical charts at 12. She celebrated her 15th birthday at the Grammys, sang for the pope, the queen and presidents including at George Bush’s inauguration and even sat a GCSE exam at the White House. She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. Her fame was stratospheric but she always remained true to her roots.</p><br><p>Since then, she has changed a lot, experimenting with music, hosting her own chat show on channel 4 and her famous club night Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon as well as being a political activist, always under the scrutiny of the press and the public eye. Today, Charlotte and her family live in rural Wales where she is very connected to nature and runs a new wellness retreat called The Dreaming. She is as outgoing and fun as ever with an infectious laugh. Here, she talks to Annie about her ‘hardcore childhood,’ her passion for activism and improving people’s lives, why criticism is fuel, staying normal and how she learnt to cry again.</p><br><p>You can book The Dreaming here: https://www.thedreaming.co.uk/</p><br><p>Changes is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here:<a href="https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
