Dr John Cooper Clarke // Rush - A Joyous Jamaican Journey // Brighouse & Rastrick Band

A bona fide legend on this latest episode as Nick speaks at length to poet Dr John Cooper Clarke. Don't miss the astonishing world exclusive reading Dr John gives during the interview, alongside a riveting chat about poetry, performance, growing up in Manchester, punk and his friendship with Nico. You'll hear how he is sharper than ever, still challenging, still seeing the world through words. (NB - since the interview was recorded, a small number of seats have been released for the previously sold out show at The Stables, snap them up while they are still there at stables.org).

In a truly diverse episode, Nick also speaks to ReedBass, musical director of "Rush - A Joyous Jamaican Journey", a wonderful story of music, culture and the history of Windrush. And featuring another act which is firmly rooted in social and political history, Nick chats to Chris Hardy from the world-famous, multi award-winning Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band, who are coming to The Stables on Sunday March 17th.
