Made of Margate

Margate and Kent are home to many artists and bands. Emily Pilbeam is joined by the Margate band Pigeon and finds out about the venue by the seaside 'Where Else?'.

The band Pigeon meet Emily Pilbeam to celebrate their home town of Margate and the surrounding area of Kent. 'Where Else?' is an iconic independent venue in the town and in this City Soundtracks we'll be hearing about the bands who have played there. Expect massive tracks from The Libertines (who loved Margate so much they opened a hotel there), Sports Team (who wrote a song about the town), The Kooks, Babyshambles, Gorillaz, Wet Leg and more.

Produced in Birmingham by True Thought Productions for 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music Indie Forever.
