Eliza Carthy, Ruben Γ–stlund, Brutalist Architecture
Folk musician Eliza Carthy plays live and talks about her new album, Queen Of The Whirl; director Ruben Γ–stlund on Triangle of Sadness; and the threat to brutalist architecture.
Eliza Carthy is celebrating 30 years as a professional musician with a new album, Queen of the Whirl. She talks about this, the legacy of her musical family – as the daughter of Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy – the way traditional music develops, and her own song-writing, and performs live in the Front Row studio.
Double Palme d'Or winning Swedish director Ruben Γ–stlund tells Samira about his first English language film, Triangle of Sadness - a satire on the fashion industry, influencer culture, and the world of the super-rich.
Plus the threat to brutalist architecture. Last year the Dorman Long Tower in Redcar was demolished, and now the Kirkgate Shopping centre in Bradford is condemned too. Brutalist architecture provokes both love as well as hate, but around the country its buildings are in peril. Author John Grindrod and Duncan Wilson from Historic England discuss how much is being lost, and if it matters.
