Public Service Broadcasting live and on stage

From Standing Room Only, 12:30 pm on 15 April 2018

There's been a lot of discussion recently on the thorny subject of public service broadcasting - what is it, and why do we need it? But maybe the answer is in the work of the English group of that name. Public Service Broadcasting albums mix live music with historic clips from the early days of film, radio and television in England. They've got titles like The Race for Space, Inform Educate and Entertain and last year, Every Valley. Public Service Broadcasting is about to play at Auckland's Powerstation on May the 3rd. Before that, the band's Number One fan, Phil O'Brien, gets to talk to the lead Broadcaster, the wonderfully named J Willgoose Esquire.
