EP84 - Rhoda Dakar - Singer, Musician, Red Wedge... ”You see things can change...”

On Episode 84 of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I am joined by
singer, musician, activist & campaigner, Rhoda Dakar.


We hear how her career began as lead vocalist with all female
2Tone band, The Bodysnatchers in 1979 and kick off the podcast
with a great Paul Weller connection through The Jam and Rhoda
being banned from seeing them live in concert in the late 70s /
early 80s!.


We hear about Red Wedge in the mid-eighties where Rhoda
became Chair of the Steering Group, whilst making guest
appearances on stage alongside the likes of Paul Weller, Billy
Bragg, Dr, Robert, Lorna Gee, Junior Giscombe and The Communards.


Rhoda also reveals all about recording a brilliant EP of songs at
Black Barn (PW HQ) in 2017 called The LoTek Four, Vol I.Heck, we
even hear another angle on the famous 'Mick Talbot gets left at
motorway service station' story!
