Tash and Kate were back in the Soho Radio studio bringing listeners their usual eclectic mix of new music tunes from some of their favourite female, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists. Mari offered the team some of her “musical musings” too!
They were joined by London-based pop darling Jessica Winter, who spoke about her debut full length release, My First Album, her upcoming UK tour dates in October (including a London headline show at The Lower Third in Soho on 28th October) and the inspirations behind all of her wonderful alt-pop creations. She also spoke candidly about the hard earned patience and resilience she’s developed during the process of creating an album that feels true to her authentic self.
Towards the end of the show, the team shared a special track by genre-fluid non-binary artist Naafi, who contributed to The Sound Of Trans Freedom audio project, produced by Aunt Nell aka our very own Tash Walker!
The piece follows the journey of four trans sound-artists into the archive of Press for Change, a formative lobbying group that brought about the Gender Recognition Act. Tash asked the sound artists to use their imaginations to bring to life letters from trans people who wrote to Press for Change in the 90s and early 00s. journey of four trans sound artists into the archive of Press for Change, a formative lobbying group that brought about the Gender Recognition Act.

As Tash explains: “The piece looks back into our trans histories whilst holding space for what we are fighting for when it comes to trans rights today, a world that should hold space for trans people to not just survive but thrive.”
