Seasons greetings to everyone. If you missed it first time around, listen back to my interview with legendary photographer Charlie Phillips, whose work provides a comprehensive photographic record of black British culture. Windrush chronicles, 1960s Notting Hill, Shebeens, festivals, Carnival, Caribbean funerals, etc. Charlie has seen and photographed it all. Respected by peers and neglected by the establishment in equal measure, catch up with Charlie in this edition of Drop Da Biscuit. Check out Charlie’s work at https://charliephillipsarchive.com
