London Grammar's Hannah Reid: 'I'm not rock 'n' roll' and the secret pain of indie pop
Their rise continued, through the release of Truth is a Beautiful Thing (2017) and California Soil (2021), chart-toppers both, and their return last autumn with The Greatest Love. That fourth album, recorded in their own space within Damon Albarn's Studio 13 complex in Notting Hill, pushed them even higher. London Grammar now enjoy more than three million monthly listeners on Spotify and have reached arena-scale success — on their last tour they sold out the O2. Along the way there were multiple support slots with old friends Coldplay, most recently in summer 2022 when they joined the band on their (still ongoing) Music of the Spheres stadium tour.

Woman's Hour London Grammar's Hannah Reid, Women and Trump, Domestic violence
London Grammar frontwoman Hannah Reid joins Nuala McGovern to discuss more than a decade at the helm of the band, their fourth album The Greatest Love, and what it's been like navigating the music industry as a new parent. With US President Donald Trump reaching the 100 day mark of his presidency, who are some of the women in his cabinet? And what impact have those first 100 days had on women's lives in the US? Nuala speaks to Republican Sarah Elliott and Democrat Kristin Kaplan Wolfe to get their thoughts. April, a new film set in the Eastern European country of Georgia, tells the story of Nina, an obstetrician who faces an investigation, after she was unable to save a baby during labour. But the investigation brings scrutiny Nina doesn't want, as she's concerned it will shine a light on her secret job – providing unofficial, illegal abortions and reproductive care to women in poorer villages, in their homes. Writer and director Dea Kulumbegashvili joins Nuala to discuss her story and what it was like to film. Over a quarter of domestic abuse services in England and Wales are having to turn children away from vital support amid severe funding shortages, according to a new report by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner. Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right for the first time by 2021's Domestic Abuse Act. Nuala is joined by Nicole Jacobs, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, to hear more about her report and what she wants to see happen next.
