This special evening of music takes inspiration from the Unpopular Music LP, which gathers a selection of unique recordings from an ongoing series of exciting and eclectic collaborations, mostly recorded at BBC Maida Vale Studios. They represent part of an incredible body of work by a wide variety of alternative, outsider musicians from all over the world.
