Talking grief and loss over ice-cream, BBC R4

You might not consider a major music festival as the ideal place to discuss grief and loss – but that’s exactly what artist Annie Nicholson aka fandangoe kid is doing (look her up - she’s done some really great work). She’s touring the UK throughout summer 2021 in a brightly-coloured ice-cream van encouraging people to talk about the psychological impact of the pandemic in less formal spaces. You can hear a piece I recorded with her for BBC Radio 4 as she was dishing out double scoops at the Latitude festival in Suffolk. It’s in the last 6-7 minutes of the programme.
