Barnbow Canaries by Alice Nutter
As the Great War gathers pace, Agnes and her sister Edith revel in their new-found independence and prosperity as Barnbow lasses. Not only does their danger money buy them a new life of confidence, men, work and politics but the thrill of a new future, full of fun, friendship and freedom. In the wake of the catastrophic 1916 explosion, the women discover the true cost of the cry for ‘More Shells!’ Alice Nutter (My Generation) brings her unique voice to this incredible story of Yorkshire grit, determination and solidarity, marking 100 years since the largest ever single loss of life in the history of Leeds.
Alice Nutter was formerly a member of the anarchist pop band Chumbawamba before hanging the mic up at the end of 2004 to concentrate on writing drama. While a member of the band Alice had a stint as a journalist and Features Editor at the now defunct Leeds Other Paper/Northern Star. Originally from Burnley, Alice now lives in Leeds and describes herself as a writer who ended up in a band. In recent years Alice has written extensively for television, including an episode of Jimmy McGovern’s Emmy Award-Winning Accused, which was nominated for a Writers’ Guild Best Television Drama Series Award in 2011. She has also undertaken an attachment with The National Theatre Studio and is currently working on a series about The Pendle Witches for Touchpaper/BBC2.
