Arena BBC Who is Poly Styrene

[Hilary]

Really enjoyed watching this - inspired by Nick's fabulous cover https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=29328.0

I could identify with a lot of this as a performer with a persona (not the mental health issues hopefully), or x-performer now I suppose. There's also a great bit in here where Poly Styrene writes a song with the band (she basically sings the lines and the band do the rest) and a comment at one of the gigs from the band (This is nice) - performer speak for crikey what a sh*thole!

It's 39 minutes but well worth it if you are home!

Funny, I went to exactly the same video after listening to Nick's track! I listened to the original on YouTube (her voice is amazing) and then saw the link to that video, and clicked on it. A great watch.
