Recordist's notes
We are walking down Coldhabour Lane and across Brixton Market with the writer George Shire. He takes photographs. I fixed a bin-aural mic on his shirt… capturing his descriptions, memories and thoughts… an audio-walk through Brixton and its histories, the up-rise of black culture in the UK… the recording is part of the NO-GO-Zones audio radio project and its collection: https://archive.org/details/no-go-zones_711
