LISTEN: GIHE on Soho Radio with Circe (24.07.23)

Tash and Kate were back on Soho Radio’s airwaves playing loads of new music from some of their favourite female, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists! Mari offered some of her “musical musings” too. Tash talked about their excitement for upcoming East London festival Field Day and Kate shared memories of the recent GIHE gig that Mari organised at The Shacklewell Arms, featuring STRAIGHT GIRL, ALT BLK ERA and The Dead Zoo. Artists featured on the eclectic playlist included Maria Uzor, Sweeping Promises, Um, Jennifer?, congratulations, Divide and Dissolve and Nora Kelly Band.

Kate also caught up with London-based dark-pop sensation Circe to talk about her new EP, Drawing Wings From The Light. Inspired by personal epiphanies, unfiltered heartbreaks, precious teenage secrets and cell-shaping theatrical experiences, the record is a passionate, rapturous collection of slickly produced tracks. Circe spoke about the context behind her new songs, the loyalty of her fans, having FEELINGS about EVERYTHING, and her upcoming headline show at The Windmill in Brixton on 21st September.
