The meteoric rise and fall of Brit-Pop!

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 18 September 2018

The early 1990s, musicians, artists, film-makers and even politicians led a pop culture renaissance in Britain, which we now call “Britpop”. Led by the “Big Four” of Oasis, Blur, Suede and Pulp, these bands’ catchy tunes and dry lyrics led to a new era of British pride and coolness.

Wellington DJ Bill E joins us to explain the origins of Britpop, and tracks its meteoric rise and fall.
