"To highlight their plight the writer and campaigner George Monbiot has joined forces with the leading folk singer and musician Ewan McLennan to launch a new tour and album called 'Breaking the Spell of Loneliness' which is out this week. It followed George writing a column two years ago on the subject in which he argued that what distinguishes our age from those preceding it is an epidemic of loneliness, a deadly condition, which kills as many people as smoking or obesity.

"This remarkable collaboration between author George Monbiot and musician Ewan McLennan seeks to address the curse of our age: a crowded planet stricken by loneliness. Using music and the written word, it seeks to make connections in a splintered world."
