Sounds of a City: Bristol

6 Music Artist Collection

Available for 29 days

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, founder of Classic Album Sundays, turns her attention to Bristol in the fifth episode of 'Sounds of a City'. She argues that 'Blue Lines' by Massive Attack is the album that sounds like Bristol. Featuring interviews with Robert '3D' Del Naja, Neneh Cherry, Cameron McVey, Mark Stewart, James Lavelle, Inkie, Roni Size and more. Colleen delves into how bass culture, graffiti, punk and politics are represented both in Bristol and within the grooves of 'Blue Lines'. She also makes the case for its lasting legacy with musicians in and outside Bristol. First broadcast in 2016, when the 6 Music Festival came from Bristol.
