Jenny Eclair


 
Jenny Eclair took a riotous trip down memory lane — from drama school, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery and waitressing, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, 'grumpy old woman', podcaster and nana. With Siân Pattenden.

Beans on Toast


 
An evening of songs and anecdotes from festival legend Beans on Toast. His latest book Wild Folk People Honest is funny and full of soul; a book about connection, creativity and the beautiful mess of being alive.
