SUMMARY:Working to Breaking Point: ​Una Marson’s Broadcasting Career a

DESCRIPTION:Una Marson\, the first Black woman who was a full-time produce
 r at the BBC registered significant broadcasting accomplishments despite e
 nduring unique challenges. She was a colonial subject and Pan-Africanist w
 ho pushed against entrenched cultural prejudices to develop a legendary br
 oadcasting presence. Despite her remarkable accomplishments\, her dismissa
 l by the BBC left her sidelined and forgotten. This talk will use textual 
 analysis with grounded theory to examine data that traced Marson’s profe
 ssional experiences. Articles\, books\, audiovisual materials\, and intern
 al BBC memos are reviewed to establish a contextual narrative of Marson’
 s tenure at the BBC. The analysis suggests scholars pursuing a comprehensi
 ve understanding of the contributions of Black pioneers should interrogate
  the nuances of their private struggles and the implications of their pers
 onal losses. This approach is important because narratives of Black except
 ionalism rooted in values that embrace colonialism\, racism and imperialis
 m have typically ignored or undervalued Black lives\, and have missed crit
 ical insights. \nThis talk is based on the Identities article\, ‘Working
  to breaking point: Una Marson’s pioneering broadcasting career at the B
 .B.C.‘

DESCRIPTION:Indie rock band Peter Cat kick off their UK tour with a headli
 ne show at Nice N Sleazy. Support from Marceline & Before Stories. \nPeter
  Cat are a cinematic rock band from Glasgow\, whose music crackles with a 
 dark and fierce intent. Combining art rock arrangements\, surreal lyricism
 \, and an arch vocal delivery\, their signature sound is at turns both pla
 yful and apocalyptic (sometimes both at once). It’s as if Pulp and King 
 Crimson got involved in a mild fender-bender on the M1 – and neither had
  insurance.\nThe band signed with “East Anglia’s premier record label
 ”\, Trapped Animal\, in late 2025 to release their sophomore LP\, Starch
 amber – an ambitious epic combining prog\, art punk and lo-fi electronic
 a that earned them praise from MOJO\, Record Collector\, and the Bandcamp 
 global homepage.\nNot an act to rest on their laurels (or anyone else’s)
 \, Peter Cat are back a mere 7 months later with ‘Innocent Driver’\, a
  razor-sharp track that’s already received support from BBC 6 Music and 
 BBC Introducing in Scotland. Peter Cat are looking forward to a 12-date UK
  tour in late 2026 – their biggest yet. \nSupport comes from local art r
 ock act Marceline\, new to the Glasgow scene and fresh off their debut EP 
 In Spite of Time\, which The Progressive Subway described as the sound of 
 a band “on the road to bigger and better things”.\nFurther support cou
 rtesy of Aberdeen’s Before Stories\, who have been delivering lowkey mis
 erabilist minimalist bangers since 2015. Self-described as “one man in a
  suit shouting about things we don’t like\, while another man with nice 
 trainers does the bare minimum of music we can get away with…and still c
 all it a song.” \nDoors 7.30pm\n18+ \n£10 adv + bf

DESCRIPTION:A Women’s Oral History Of West Africa: In Excess of Expectat
 ion\n\n\n\nWhat does it mean to survive in excess of expectation? \n\n\n\n
 According to the United Nations\, women in West Africa have the lowest fem
 ale life expectancy in the world. Rather than asking why\, National Geogra
 phic Explorer Sylvia Arthur asks a different question: Under what conditio
 ns do they live\, and keep on living\, despite it all? \n\n\n\nDrawing on 
 A Women’s Oral History Of West Africa\, an ongoing project documenting t
 he lives of 100 women aged 60 and over across four West African countries\
 , this listening session combines audio excerpts from the oral archive wit
 h reflection and discussion. Together\, they reveal extraordinary lives sh
 aped by love\, labour\, faith\, conflict and care. \n\n\n\nThrough the wom
 en’s own voices\, Arthur explores how the enduring legacies of coloniali
 sm continue to shape women’s lives\, while challenging dominant narrativ
 es about ageing\, resilience and whose histories are remembered. \n\n\n\nT
 his event invites audiences to listen differently – not only to the stor
 ies of West African women\, but to what they teach us about survival\, dig
 nity and the human capacity to endure in the face of profound structural i
 nequality. \n\n\n\nBook Picnic – August 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
