Kate Fox and Erland Cooper

In a brand new series for BBC Radio 3, Elizabeth Alker celebrates the best of music and writing inspired by the north. Tonight she’s joined by Bradford-born poet, author and comedian Kate Fox, and composer and multi-instrumentalist Erland Cooper, whose music absorbs the poetry, landscape, and neolithic sights of his native Orkney. Up for discussion: northern voices, heirlooms, travelling from your roots, and the magic of the everyday.

Recorded live at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Producer: Ruth Thomson
