Oi Oi it’s Geordie lass Emma Millen here with the first ever episode of NE LASS CAN, a show designed to support local talent, creatives and businesses and prove that right here in the North East ANY lass can!

We have also teamed up with Sunderland Culture project ‘Rebel Women of Sunderland’ to highlight pioneering women from our city. This episode we speak to special guest Aly Dixon on what it’s like to preform on a world stage as part of Team GB.
