Tom McKinney’s Coastal Adventure: Day 4

Radio 3 Breakfast

Available for 22 days

Live from Carlton Marshes, Tom explores the wildlife of the lowland fens and peat pools that are typical of the area. He is joined by composer and improviser Laura Cannell on recorder, and the Rogue Shanty Buoys, who sing songs of the fishermen who worked the waters there. Then, heading across the road into Lowestoft town to Ness Point – the most easterly point of the UK - Tom learns about the changing face of the industry that keeps the town alive.
