40,000 Bees

Mary Anne Hobbs is joined by award-winning British artist Wolfgang Buttress.

Mary Anne's guest is award-winning British artist Wolfgang Buttress. His British Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo was a giant beehive, highlighting the plight of the honeybee. The soundtrack - released as Be 'One' on Rivertones on February 12th - as the sound of a dialgoue between bee and human, with help from Jason Pierce and Youth.

Wolfgang is also putting together a pair of special performances at the Nottingham Arts Theatre on February 18th and 19th.

Bee awake. Bee ready. Bee there.
