The last time we shared a playlist with you, we were in the deep gloom of lockdown. It was February. It was cold. We were solely confined to being indoors. Now, as things are starting to look a whole lot more optimistic – especially the weather – our very own music maestro Corey Hemingway has put together a sun-filled, feel-good springtime playlist. Take it with you on your next picnic; play it while you have lunch in the garden, or just put your headphones on and go for a walk in the park. However you listen, we hope you do so with a smile.
