Backstage: Episode #25: Peter Groom, Phil Davids, Jessica Cottis and Roisin Crowley Linton
British-Australian conductor Jessica Cottis, poet and comedian Roisin Crowley Linton, actor and drag artist Peter Groom and Good Times Band front-man Phil Davids are our guests this month.
Local actor Peter Groom promises that his portrayal of Marlene Dietrich will be like no drag show you’ve seen before; Phil Davids, singer and frontman of The Good Times Band, tells us the secret of keeping people dancing this New Year’s Eve; conductor Jessica Cottis unpicks why a Viennese waltz is the perfect way to enjoy New Year’s Day. And north east poet and comedian Roisin Crowley Linton describes why verse can pack such a punch.
Backstage is a regular podcast where we go behind the scenes for exclusive interviews and insights from leading and emerging artists who’ll be taking to the stage at Sage Gateshead, and discover some of the activities that take place, and the communities that meet there.
