Falling and Laughing/ Nutcracker's 35th/A Winter Union

The Unseen Swerve is our monthly arts & culture show looking at all walks of creative life from dance, theatre and visual arts to songwriting, poetry and digital exploration (and everything in-between).

Our mission is to bring you the stories of the people, places & communities driving the creativity and to help fire your imagination to maybe get involved. 

In this show we talk to indie pop duo Falling and Laughing as they gear up for their debut album (20 years in), we talk with Hannah Martin of Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB) as she helps bring The Nutcracker back to the Hippodrome for it's 35th Anniversary and we speak with folk masters Gilmore & Roberts about their role in A Winter Union as it comes to MAC Birmingham.
