As a resident of So Flute in Manchester, Bolts has cut his teeth playing music with feeling from right across the spectrum.
Live from the WOH Radio Stage, Bolts is joined by the founders of Kabom, a community-led social enterprise from Jazzin' The Park Productions dedicated to preserving rare West African vinyl while redistributing wealth back to the communities it comes from. Working directly with communities in Ghana's Cape Coast, Kabom (Twi for "connect") sources hard-to-find highlife, Afro-funk and highlife-soul records from the 1970s and '80s, channelling profits from its global Discogs network into local infrastructure, employment and long-term community investment.
Together, they'll explore the invisible village behind the music – the collectors, traders, archivists and diasporic connectors who keep these sounds alive. The show will reflect on preservation as resistance, record trading as a form of wealth redistribution, and radio as an extension of that village. Expect rare 45s, even rarer cassettes, and a celebration of the connections that sustain music scenes across generations.
