Moses McKenzie: 'I was thinking about the predicament of the black British diaspora'
The award-winning Bristol-raised novelist Moses McKenzie on his new book about a teenage Rastafarian living in the city in volatile times, how he was influenced by The Catcher in the Rye - and being celebrated by a Tory politician.
Moses McKenzie is an author of Caribbean descent and grew up in Bristol, where his first two novels were set. His debut, An Olive Grove in Ends which Moses wrote at the age of twenty-one, was shortlisted as a Guardian Novel of the Year 2022. His second novel, Fast by the Horns will be published in spring 2024. Moses McKenzie is photographed in Nottingham, England.

'We'll play until our teeth drop out!' The long, remarkable lives of Britain’s Windrush-era musicians.
Now in their 80s and 90s, having faced down racism and neglect, musicians of Caribbean heritage are still centre stage in the adopted country where they've enriched music in so many ways.
When the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in 1948, passengers disembarking included Trinidadian calypsonians Lord Beginner, Lord Woodbine, Monica Baptiste and Lord Kitchener, the latter serenading the Pathé News film crew with an a cappella version of his song London Is the Place For Me. Until the Commonwealth Immigrant Acts (1962, 1968, 1971) produced a hostile environment for Caribbean nationals wanting to emigrate, many West Indian musicians would follow them, introducing everything from ska to soca. A handful of them would achieve international success; others would be broken by their experiences. Most were overlooked and would endure many privations, but they all enriched British music in myriad ways.
Michael "Bami" Rose as he reflects on their legacy ahead of this week's Windrush 75 commemorations. Bami is preparing for tonight's residency at Brixton's Effra Tavern with Jamaican Jazz, an ensemble formed in the early 1990s that paired veterans - Rose, the late trombonist Rico Rodriquez, percussionist Tony Uter, trumpeter Eddie "Tan-Tan" Thornton - with younger Black British players.

'We'll play until our teeth drop out!' The long, remarkable lives of Britain’s Windrush-era musicians.
Now in their 80s and 90s, having faced down racism and neglect, musicians of Caribbean heritage are still centre stage in the adopted country where they've enriched music in so many ways.
When the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in 1948, passengers disembarking included Trinidadian calypsonians Lord Beginner, Lord Woodbine, Monica Baptiste and Lord Kitchener, the latter serenading the Pathé News film crew with an a cappella version of his song London Is the Place For Me. Until the Commonwealth Immigrant Acts (1962, 1968, 1971) produced a hostile environment for Caribbean nationals wanting to emigrate, many West Indian musicians would follow them, introducing everything from ska to soca. A handful of them would achieve international success; others would be broken by their experiences. Most were overlooked and would endure many privations, but they all enriched British music in myriad ways.

'We didn't feel it was for us': the UK's minority ethnic walking groups tearing down barriers
Hiking groups set up by and for ethnic minorities, often during lockdowns, are gaining in popularity.
Despite the benefits, however, the British countryside remains distinctly white: a study by the Campaign to Protect Rural England found that only 1% of national park visitors come from minority ethnic backgrounds.
Another study by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs suggested why: that despite people from minority ethnic backgrounds valuing the natural environment, they feel excluded and hyper-visible in what they see as an "exclusively English environment".
But things are changing. Often motivated by lockdown, there has been an increase in the number of walking groups set up by and for ethnic minorities in the past few years.
