Louise Doughty on her Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ drama Crossfire, singer-songwriter Miki Berenyi from Lush, author Jenn Ashworth
Singer-songwriter Miki Berenyi on her memoir Fingers Crossed and her experiences in the indie rock band Lush, and author Louise Doughty discusses writing her first TV drama.
Bestselling author Louise Doughty discusses her new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One drama Crossfire, a thriller about a terrorist attack in a luxury holiday resort, starring Keeley Hawes. She talks about writing for the screen for the first time, after her novels Apple Tree Yard and Platform 7 were adapted for television.
Singer songwriter Miki Berenyi, who is best known as part of the 1980s/90s indie rock band Lush, talks about her memoir Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved me from Success. Her book covers her jaw-dropping childhood and the highs and lows of being a woman in the music business, touring America and the dark side of Britpop.
The novelist and short story writer Jenn Ashworth is the latest of the authors shortlisted for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Award 2022. She joins Front Row to talk about Flat 19, inspired by a work by Doris Lessing, exploring the daily pressures on a woman who finds a surprising way to escape them.
