Today I came across a podcast portraying musician Soweto Kinch talking about growing up in Birmingham, the city's cultural identity, his influences and his album 'A life in the Day of B19' featuring narration by Moira Stuart (you know?... of BBC 6 O'clock news fame). If you haven't heard Soweto Kinch's album or music then this podcast will give you a few snippets as well as let you appreciate the collage of attributes that make up a multi-cultural city like Birmingham.
The Grass Roots Channel from Podnosh, based in Birmingham, aims to bring you audio stories and inspiration from people who have taken action towards building stronger communities and contributed positively to their own neighbourhoods. In this particular episode Soweto may challenge many people's perceptions of Birmingham and its' associated musical or cultural scene. Go on, take 12 minutes out, have a listen and broaden your horizons...Link to Podcast:
