[kj] Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove - wha' happen?

[-]

Hi,
For all those curious as to "What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?", here 
be some clues/answers.

By chance, I perked up earlier today when I heard the phrase 'Ladbroke 
Grove' on the wireless. The programme seems to have been a trip down 
memory lane. It is billed as:

"BBC Radio 4 - Reimagining the City, Series 2, Birmingham",
- "Musician Soweto Kinch offers a different vision of a city he's loved 
all his life - Birmingham."

Even though the main focus is Birmingham, mid-way through it does 
however make a brief reference to an old haunt being Ladbroke Grove, the 
subsequent gentrification theroef, followed by an exodus to Birmingham. 
Mr. Kinch also discusses the ethos where it is all about the art (rather 
than another hit single). The programme is largely a trip down memory 
lane with a lot of music sampled from the period. I hope some will find 
this of interest.

Trek along to - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03s645s - and you 
should find an online listenable version of today's programme, I'll be 
having a re-listen myself.



On another note, just received my delightfully presented copy of 
'Letters From Cythera' yesterday. It is a most enticing read and my 
thanks go to Jaz for (living and) documenting all this.

Matt/
