Calling shotgun with George Ezra

George Ezra is an English guitarist, singer, songwriter and also one of the nicest guys in the biz.

His smash hit ‘Shotgun’ is, incidentally, about time he spent in Australia - he sings about being south of the equator, being at the beach, drinking larger and life in ‘the yellow and green’. But it’s not his only song about another country. His travels make up a huge part of his music.

So what happens when your art is inspired by the world around you and that world suddenly becomes very small. So small, in fact, it’s pretty much the size of your UK flat and nothing else. Where does the magic come from?

In this conversation, Jamila and George go deep on his new music, staying inspired and his upcoming performance at the Queen’s Jubilee.
