Now available on catch up, Erland Cooper's fascinating and brilliant BBC Radio 3 show, Phantom Islands, exploring the stories behind five islands once thought to exist, from a late night trip to the Isle of Demons to the earthly paradise of Saint Brendan's 🏝

On BBC Radio 3, Professor Sebastian Sobecki 🇺🇦 reveals the myth behind St. Brendan’s Isle, a so-called phantom island that was described in medieval texts for over five centuries...yet may have never existed.

I listen to Sule Skerry regularly but haven’t played Erland Cooper Orkney Triptych back to back for ages. Call it what you will, modern ambient/classical crossover whatever, it truly is music from the heart and unique of my records in its immense sense of place. #NowPlaying
