Rave Forever 80s: With Carroll Thompson

Available for 26 days

Nick chats to Queen of Lovers Rock, Carroll Thompson, all about the pivotal year of 1981 when she released her debut album, the sisterhood of the scene, and how the sound of Lovers Rock thrived amidst the heavy dub of UK soundsystem culture. Plus, our resident film and TV critic Rhianna Dhillon shares her recommendations for what to watch this weekend. And as always, Nick has the Cloudbusting mix - an hour of uplifting tunes to banish the grey skies - and today it's all about the 80s. Every Friday throughout August, 6 Music is taking a decade-by-decade journey from the 80s to the 2010s, celebrating Black British music scenes and sound system culture, featuring the absolute pioneers of UK dance music. This show has been produced as part of the BBC's celebration of The Music is Black, a collaboration with V&A East Museum.
