Mathew Baynton

Inheritance Tracks

Available for over a year

Mathew Baynton is an actor, writer, comedian and musician – who shot to fame as part of the troop who brought us the historical and hysterical sketch show Horrible Histories on CBBC. Since then, along with his fellow co-stars, he has gone on to create, write and star in the critically acclaimed BBC series – Ghosts. He describes how he finds inspiration in both the light and shade of Leonard Cohen's songs, and takes great solace in Big Thief's lyrics when thinking of his children. Music Inherited - Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen Pass on - Change by Big Thief Producer: Ben Mitchell
