Cultural developments in music and travel

The London-based musical duo Apple Eyes has released a new song titled ‘Be’. The track features a funk-infused bassline and synth soundscapes paired with vocals by Claire Hadidjenar, blending elements of dream-pop and dance.

In the travel sector, Rocco Forte Hotels has introduced a ‘Great British Cultural Journey’ to coincide with the UK’s National Year of Reading. This itinerary connects London and Edinburgh via rail, offering guests literary experiences such as private walks and themed events inspired by authors like Agatha Christie, Muriel Spark, and Sherlock Holmes.
