Celeste

For the last twelve weeks on Saturdays at around 6.30 in the morning BBC Radio 3 had been doing a special one-hour show called Downtime Symphony with Celeste. This was a mixture of classical of course and her soulful choices, into a lovely morning mix. Now we have somebody else and it is not the same, oh well.

Celeste was born in Culver USA but when  her family moved from Dagnenham in East London to Saltdean on the outskirts of Brighton, it was that village where I lived for many years - and blow me down, I remember seeing her as she was one of the few black kids in the area with a lovely huge afro, in fact, the only black teenager there. This would have been from around 2011 when L and I lived in Saltdean and she would have been 17. In fact, she worked at the local charity shop in the village where I hunted for vinyl,   CDs, and DVDs.

Anyway, here is Celeste -

Celeste - Stop This Flame

Celeste - Not Your Muse

Downtime Symphony
Radio 3 with Celeste
An hour of wind-down music to help you press pause and reset your mind. With chilled sounds of orchestral, jazz, ambient and lo-fi beats to power your downtime.

ENJOY
