This episode sees us chatting with Sheffield born punk, Mat Sargent. Mat played with the seminal UK punk bands Sham 69 and Chelsea, as well as starting the Sex, Drugs and HIV project in 1995 to raise awareness and funding for charity organisations that help those diagnosed with HIV and sexual assault survivors. The project grew to include over 200 guest musicians and has resulted in an incredible double album with a dedicated documentary film for each track. Tune in to hear the stories and find out more about Mats life and work.
