Suzi Quatro, Henry Firth and Ian Theasby (aka BOSH!), Amy McCulloch, Ros Atkins, Nicky Dorrington...in nature

After seeing Elvis perform on television, at the age of six, Suzi Quatro knew then that music was to be her life's work.

Suzi Quatro grew up in Detroit in a very musical family. It was, at the age of six, after seeing Elvis perform on television that made Suzi decide music was to be her life. She鈥檚 also an actor, poet, has a new album called 'Face to Face' with KT Tunstall, is on tour...and she once broke Alice Cooper鈥檚 nose.

Shortly after they got married, the best-selling author Amy McCulloch and her new husband headed to South America for a six-month backpacking adventure. Then, one night, Amy heard that a cabin had suddenly become available on a ship heading to the Antarctic. She was desperate to take it. He wanted to stay. This thrilling real story was the spark for the inspiration behind her new book 'Midnight'.

Picture the scene...Sheffield in the mid-nineties. Two cheeky teenage lads sitting together in the school canteen tucking into burger and chips for lunch or maybe a bacon sandwich. Since then, Henry Firth and Ian Theasby are the plant-based chefs behind the hugely successful 鈥淏OSH!鈥 and whose new cookbook 'Meat' sees them make bacon from bananas and chicken from peas.

All that plus The Inheritance Tracks of journalist, broadcaster and 大象传媒 Explainer鈥搃n-Chief, Ros Atkins - and we join Nicky Dorrington ...In Nature.
