Talk: Nick Barraclough – ‘A Disorderly House’
Tuesday, 12 January, 2021 , 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
The Engineer, The Crown, The Flying Pig, the Broadway, the Radio… and me…
The story begins as a cowboy in Pontypool, South Wales comes east to a Hills Road inn, taking in Great Wilbraham on the way. There results quite a lot of violence, a dead body in the Cam and, topically, the avoidance of vaccination. Then a move to the Broadway introduces the radio to Cambridge – back to the Hills Road inn with Cambridge’s own radio station, Great Wilbraham revisited and that Hills Road inn comes under threat.
Nick Barraclough is a British radio producer, presenter, musician and writer, who is best known for hosting shows related to specialist American music. He has for many years been the presenter of various music shows and documentaries on BBC Radio.
