The music of Rough Trade

From Nine To Noon, 11:06 am on 5 February 2021

Jeremy Taylor from SlowBoat Records joins Nine to Noon for a Rough Trade special.

Having just read Neil Taylor's Document and Eyewitness - An Intimate History Of Rough Trade, he’s been deeply immersed in the music released by one of his favourite UK indie labels.

It is, he says, an extraordinary story of boom and bust, He plays a selection from the Rough Trade catalogue - resisting the temptation to play The Smiths.
