A Long Walk With... Tracey Thorn

One of our finest voices Tracey Thorn is an enchanting and fascinating guide as she joins Janice for a walk around the streets, churches and music venues of North London and Soho.

Janice undertakes her final walk of this series with one of the finest voices in the country, who has just released her first solo album of entirely original material for seven years, which she describes as "nine feminist bangers".

They hear some songs on that release called 'Record', and others, with references to the places they visit, her family history and early gigs as both a performer and music fan attendee.

For four decades Tracey Thorn has been one half of worldwide best sellers Everything But The Girl, an acclaimed writer and journalist, wise woman of social media, solo artist and vocalist, who everyone from Paul Weller to Massive Attack wants on their tracks.

Tracey is an enchanting and fascinating guide as they walk around the streets, churches and music venues of North London and Soho. These include Ronnie Scott's, The Hope and Anchor, The Lyceum on The Strand and St. Martin's Church in Gospel Oak where her parents and grand parents were married - described by the architectural expert and historian Nikolaus Pevsner as 'one of the craziest of London's Victorian Churches'.
