The writer Anna Freeman presents a showcase of true stories about the meaning of arts in people's lives.

Writer Anna Freeman presents stories of coming together to make art. A patchwork blanket in Birmingham brings together the migration journeys of refugee women around the city. A collective of homeless singers and performers come together to turn the story of La BohΓ¨me on its head. And musician Spencer Flay talks about his need to separate himself from others in order to write his songs - by climbing up into the cabin of a crane. Spencer was discovered by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ after he uploaded his music to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Bristol’s Upload programme – a show where anyone can upload the music, poetry or fiction they are creating.
