Haseeb Iqbal with Janine Rainforth // 24-0519

Haseeb Iqbal, poet, DJ and presenter of DIY podcast platform, Mare Street Records, brings you his monthly show on Worldwide FM. Combining conversation, with musical figureheads from various different scenes, alongside a deep-rooted exploration of the music that is precious to them, his two hour show of wholesome discussion and eclectic sounds is bound to take the listener on a compelling and rich cultural journey. For his first show, he will be joined by Janine Rainforth, the founder of Bristol post-punk outfit from the early 80s, Maximum Joy. They will be chatting about what life was like for her growing up in Bristol, the endless musical influences that filtered into her sound, the dark political state at that time and how that influenced the music too. She will also be delving into what it was like to briefly reform Maximum Joy in 2015, before creating more music through her newly-formed outfit, MXMJoY.
