Eve Myles, Bernie Taupin, This Class Works exhibition
Arts news, interviews and reviews. Eve Myles on Welsh-noir thriller Keeping Faith and Bernie Taupin on working with Elton John for 50 years.
Torchwood and Broadchurch star Eve Myles returns to our screens in the Welsh-noir series Keeping Faith. The drama centres around a working mother, Faith Howells, as she deals with the personal and professional fallout of her husband's mysterious disappearance. Originally broadcast in Welsh on S4C, an English language version is now being shown on Â鶹Éç One after breaking viewing records on Â鶹Éç Wales and the Â鶹Éç iPlayer.
Lyricist Bernie Taupin talks about his extraordinary partnership with Elton John that created dozens of hits such as Rocket Man and Sacrifice. To celebrate 50 years of writing together they've asked famous country music stars - from Dolly Parton to Willie Nelson - to reimagine their songs for a new album, Restoration.
This Class Works is an exhibition in Sheffield showcasing Northern working class artists. We speak to the curator Pete McKee and Ella Murtha, daughter of photographer Tish Murtha, whose work depicting of youth unemployment during Thatcher's Britain is included in the show.
