Freddie will take you on a historic road trip via music and conversation to show how Black music (gospel, soul, Motown, retro-funk, folk, hip-hop, rap and spoken word) have all played a significant role in highlighting the issues of the day, as well as having the power to bring people together from across the divide, with songs that have become soundtrack and footprint to that era and a symbol of freedom.

Freddie will look at the musicology of how particular songs help us locate a particular period in history and become a point of conversation for what was happening.
