Jeff Mills & Craig Charles: From Techno to Poetry
Cerys welcomes Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills to discuss his Tony Allen collab, and Craig Charles joins to celebrate 6 Music鈥檚 Way With Words for National Poetry Day.
Cerys Matthews welcomes Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills to discuss Tomorrow Comes The Harvest, the improvisational project he began with Afrobeat legend Tony Allen, now continuing with Jean-Philippe Dary and tabla virtuoso Prabhu Edouard. Mills reflects on the spirit of spontaneity behind their new single 鈥淭he Happening鈥� and the forthcoming album Forbidden Planet, due early 2026.
Also in the show, Cerys is joined by Craig Charles to celebrate 6 Music鈥檚 Way With Words - a week of programming marking National Poetry Day. Craig shares his passion for spoken word, poetry, and lyrical storytelling, with special guests and performances from across the UK鈥檚 vibrant poetry scene.
Plus, a voice note from jazz legend Charles Lloyd, who reflects on his Choctaw heritage and pays tribute to Duke Ellington, ahead of the release of his new double album Figure In Blue.
