Broadcaster and musician Mark Radcliffe takes his friend and bandmate Paul Langley to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, where they explore how the ‘rainy city’ has been a place of ideas and invention through time. As they take a deep dive into an exhibition about one of Manchester’s most famous outputs, Factory Records, they discuss how the iconic record label is intertwined with the city’s industrial heritage and a long history of creative thinkers, scientists and innovators. 

Notes:  

The exhibition Use Hearing Protection: The Early Years of Factory Records is at the Science and Industry Museum, Manchester, until 3 January 2022.  

This recording features two tracks by Mark and Paul’s band UNE, Folie and Waldeinsamkeit.
