S4E9 with Dee C Lee

Our guest today is one of the finest British soul singers of her generation. Whether leading the line or offering support from the background Dee C Lee has made an incredible contribution to the UKs music scene. She has created underground bangers and graced to the top ten both as a solo artist and as part of various collaborative projects. Having sung with the likes of Wham! The Style Council and as part of Guru's seminal Jazz Hip-Hop project Jazzamatazz. She has had and incredible career but now she is back front and centre with a new release on Acid Jazz records called 'Don't forget about love'. Before we talk to Dee we add a little seasoning to the pod as Deb and Eamon sprinkle Sault into the chat. Eamon tries and fails to get angry while Sault no doubt put out yet another album. Also featured this week is a discussion with writer and director Aaron Trinder whose latest film 'Free Party: A folk history' takes Eamon back to the glory days of rave and highlights the unsung history of the role that the traveller movement played in popularising the culture. We look at how the government tried to surpress the movement through blatant acts of violence and then used the rave scene as an excuse to pass draconian laws that have outlawed the traveller lifestyle and the right to listen to the music of your choice in the open air.
