Myer U Clark session and looking for lost maps

Available for 28 days

Cerys soundtracks your Sunday social and cultural adventure, with Bristol-based artist Myer U Clark in session and author James Cheshire talking about his book 'The Library of Lost Maps'. Myer U Clark is known for his distinctive blend of indie-pop and folk which draws on influences ranging from musical theatre to The Go-Betweens, creating what he describes as "musical jank". He recently released his debut album Tinderbox. James Cheshire is Britain's only Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography and is a member of University College London’s (UCL) Department of Geography. His most recent book 'The Library of Lost Maps' saw him delve into UCL’s overlooked map archive, revealing how maps have helped inspire some of the greatest scientific discoveries, but also led to terrible atrocities. James appeared at the Mapping Lost London Festival last Sunday (12 July) and has an appearance at the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society coming on 3 November. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 6 Music.
