Tunng Presents The Dead Club Podcast with Speech Debelle.

In this episode of The Dead Club Podcast, Becky speaks to musician Speech Debelle, who is a long time friend and collaborator with Mike Lindsay from Tunng who produced tracks on her 2009 debut album, Speech Therapy which went on to win the Mercury Music Prize.

Speech spoke to Becky very honestly and openly about her own experiences of grief in the wake of the very recent death of her brother Delroy.

The Dead Club Podcast is an 8 part podcast series that brings to life British band, Tunng’s ground-breaking collaborative musical project, Dead Club: a meditation on loss and a riotous trip through life in all its goodness, oddness and wonder.

We have interviewed people who have studied death, written about it, and documented it, but also those whose lives have touched it and have been close to it as well those for whom death is all in a day’s work. In this podcast series we’ll hear their voices. We’ll hear from Philosopher AC Grayling, author, Max Porter, illusionist, Derren Brown, musician Speech Debelle, author and palliative care Physician Kathryn Mannix, philosopher and writer Alain De Botton, poetry editor of the New Yorker, Kevin Young and Professor of Forensic Anthropology, Dame Sue Black. Each episode will present one of these conversations in depth, in all its detail. Underpinning and punctuating each episode is a soundscape formed from the new music we're creating for this album, as well as our own voices talking about the subject and what it means to us. There will also be some silliness and some spontaneity and some of that beautiful and unique wonkiness that makes us Tunng.
