Back Up North

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A new three-part series in which Howard Jacobson goes in search of the North he remembers from his youth, while observing it as it is now. 1: Manchester.Back in his home city, Jacobson encounters a 24-hour party zone. He meets near-naked ravers and girls in candy-coloured shoes and recalls the quieter time of his youth, delving into piles of second-hand books, dressing like the singer Richard Tauber and listening to Beethoven's Fifth in the now boarded-up Free Trade Hall. Producer JennydeYong Repeat of Sun 5.40pm
