Manchester: Everything and the Kitchen Sink

Guy celebrates Manchester and its contribution to Kitchen Sink Drama

As the 6 Music Festival returns to his home town Guy celebrates Greater Manchester and its contribution to Kitchen Sink Drama.

Manchester and its surrounding area is known for many things; music, football, rain. It’s also one of the homes of British Kitchen Sink Drama, the depiction of the joys and struggles of everyday life. It’s there in Coronation Street and a Taste of Honey and it’s there in the music of bands like the Smiths.... and indeed Elbow,

In this special Finest Hour Guy will celebrate Kitchen Sink Drama with archive and music . Plus he’ll play some of his favourite Mancunian music.
