Bureau of Lost Culture: Ginsberg in London – The Beat Goes On (17/02/2024)

Ahead of March’s ‘Ginsberg in London’ events, Youth, producer of a huge range of artists (including Kate Bush, Crowded House, The Orb, KLF, The Verve, Guns ’n’ Roses and Primal Scream) and Jesse Goodman of the Allen Ginsberg Estate come to the Bureau to talk of the beat poet’s impact on music and the British counterculture.

We hear about Youth’s Iron Horse project and two albums of interpretations of Ginsberg’s Fall of America poems by an astounding range of artists and we get deep into counterculture, the power of poetry, creativity and the possibility of a third summer of love.
