His vivid landscapes are brought to life through his lyrics, his books, his music and his ceramics. We’re delighted to be lifting the lid on his brilliantly multi-layered world in this special.”

Also coming soon is Sky Original drama, The Death of Bunny Munro, a new six-part series based on Cave’s acclaimed second novel with an original score by Nick Cave and long-time collaborator Warren Ellis.
