Music is a bit like my heartbeat. It’s a companion and there for you no matter what. I’d be lost without it.

Edith Bowman said: “Music is a bit like my heartbeat. It’s a companion and there for you no matter what. It can help you through the toughest times, it can make you smile or dance your socks off, it can help you say something that words can’t. I’d be lost without it.

“I feel honoured to have been able to be a supporter of Nordoff and Robbins for the last few years. Every year I’m blown away by the work the therapists do with each individual they work with. It’s a lifeline for so many, bringing joy and light in what could otherwise be a lonely and dark place.

We also asked Edith Bowman what favourite artists and songs are. She said: “There are so many and each day would probably be a different list, that is what is so extraordinary about music and its power. But some of the artists that have inspired me over the years are Hans Zimmer, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, Wolf Alice, Cynthia Erivo, Ludwig Goransson, John Williams, Prince, Eddie Reader, Radiohead… I mean I could go on and on and on…”
