Listen "Nerina Pallot // Brian Bilston // Duke Special"
Episode Synopsis
Turn Up The Volume! is back with a brand new season from The Stables in Milton Keynes. Nick welcomes singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot for a wide-ranging conversation about 25 years in music, the family and loss that have shaped her writing, and the inspiration behind her most recent album. She also shares the story of Madison, a song that arrived fully formed in a dream and has since become a powerful part of her live shows.We also meet poet Brian Bilston, the so-called “Banksy of poetry”, who talks about anonymity, humour and why his poems work just as well set to music as they do on the page. He reads a favourite piece and reflects on the journey from cult social-media presence to published author and performer with a band.And rounding off the episode, Duke Special reveals how curiosity has driven his career from songwriting to theatre and even collaborations with New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He talks about obsession, storytelling and the surprises audiences can expect when he returns to The Stables in November.As always, Turn Up The Volume shines a light on the artists and performances coming to The Stables.
