The Golden Age of Rave
Dig in to stories behind the decks of a music scene that transfixed the nation, from Lower Gornal's Marc Anthony. Plus Small Heath comedian Naph Esa. With Nina Das Gupta.
We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:
• Diving in the dancefloors of the late '80s and early '90s, courtesy of the Dudley DJ turned writer delving in to those hedonistic nights in the golden age of rave. Lower Gornal's Marc Anthony reveals how he found so many amazing stories, it's ballooned from one book in to a whole series!
• Checking out the festival bringing hundreds of performers lighting up eight stages across Wolverhampton, with comedians, poets and bestsellers this weekend at the city's Literary Festival.
• Meeting the Birmingham comedian taking comedy in to her own hands - not just blazing a trail in her own performances, but setting up new nights of her own.
• Discovering a bee-utiful new film, picking up awards across the country, from a documentary maker Telford documentary maker shining new light on an incredible Cheshire tradition with some Macclesfield honey makers.
• Plus an incredible piece on female empowerment that'll light the fire within your soul, courtesy of a Bridgnorth writer who's gone from words of advice in the boardroom to words of wisdom on the wireless.
