Finally we have an exclusive audio excerpt from a recent roundtable interview we did around our Make More Noise – Women In Independent Music UK 1977-1987 4CD boxset. The chat features journalist Lucy O’Brien chatting to Cosey Fanni Tutti, Tracy Tracy from The Primitives and Gina Birch of The Raincoats.
