As he gears up to headline the Other Stage at Glastonbury on June 28th, acclaimed artist Loyle Carner is bringing his storytelling talents to a younger audience with a special appearance this evening (June 23rd) on CBeebies Bedtime Story.
Carner reads I Touched the Sun by Leah Hayes – a heartfelt favourite in his own home.
“Let’s go! I’ve practised for this every night in my son’s room,”Carner commented. “Reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story is just a magical thing to do. I know this story inside out – it’s my favourite book, and my son’s and my daughter’s. We read it almost every night.”
Carners Bedtime Story airs this evening at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer, kicking off a special week of CBeebies Bedtime Stories recorded at Glastonbury Festival.
