LISTEN: GIHE on Soho Radio with Breakup Haircut (13.11.25)

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 some of her “musical musings” too!

Tash played tracks by trans artists who are much loved by GIHE to mark the upcoming Transgender Day of Remembrance (20th November) and Kate paid homage to Daphne Oram, a pioneer of electronic music. Oram’s centenary is currently being celebrated with performances across the UK on the oram/100 tour, a stunning compilation album titled vari/ations – Ode To Oram, and a special show at The Barbican on 4th December.

London-based DIY pop punk heroes Breakup Haircut also joined the team live in the studio to talk about their second album, No Worries If Not! – due on 28th November via INH Records. Ishani, Ripley and Jordan spoke about the friendship, humour and sheer determination that inspired the writing and recording process (R.I.P to the dead bird in Jordan’s shed/studio). Plus, they shared words of wisdom about how to survive as a DIY band in today’s chaotic world. Grab a ticket to Breakup Haircut’s album launch show at The Victoria in Dalston, East London, here. THWACK! and Jemma Freeman and the Cosmic Something are also on the bill!
