Hidden Tracks

An incredible selection of storytellers recall how one song or piece of music has changed their life, at a night from the much-loved show OneTrackMinds.

This event has passed

Hidden Tracks is best described as a cross between Desert Island Discs, TED Talks and The Moth. First, you hear someone’s story of a life-changing relationship with a piece of music, then you hear that song played out, sometimes live.

Taking to the stage as our special guest artist for this show is London-based Danish comedian, author, podcaster and activist Sofie Hagen.

The line-up also features Crizelle Anthony, Regina Everitt, Jumoké Fashola, Skye Ferguson and Chris Garrard.

In 2015, Hagen won the Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for her debut show, Bubblewrap. She has hosted podcasts including BBC Sounds’ Bad People and Made of Human, and currently hosts a comedy podcast with Abby Wambaugh, Help Hole. Her debut novel, Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, was published earlier this year.
