The Unthanks, Lucinda Coxon, the North East Cultural Partnership.

Ten years since its launch, an assessment of the North East Cultural Partnership.

Acclaimed English folk group The Unthanks are currently touring the UK with what they describe as a winter fantasia - a mix of traditional and newly written songs inspired by winter and Christmas.  They join Front Row, as the winter solstice draws near, to discuss and perform some of the songs they've been playing.

Screenwriter Lucinda Coxon talks to Nick Ahad about her new film One Life which stars Anthony Hopkins as humanitarian Nicholas Winton, who helped to rescue Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in the months leading up to World War II. 

How successful has the North East Culture Partnership been so far? 10 years on from its launch and halfway through the 15 year timeline for the partnership's cultural strategy, Front Row hears from former Culture Minister Lord Ed Vaizey, Jane Robinson Co-Chair of the North East Cultural Partnership board, and Keith Merrin, Director of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums,. 

Presenter: Nick Ahad
Producer: Ekene Akalawu
