Join author and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer as she runs through her fantastic assemblage of key music artists of the 1990s – Oasis, Blur, The Prodigy, Suede, Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, PJ Harvey and more. She talks to music journalist Siân Pattenden about a time when British music meant everything, and the mad exhilaration of being right in the thick of it. A time when Jarvis Cocker became a national hero, Trainspotting was a global hit, and – initially a music press nickname – Britpop became an unexpected musical movement centred around outsiders and misfits, dropouts and weirdos who refused to compromise on their ideas.
