Emma Warren has been documenting grassroots culture for decades, including through her books 'Dance Your Way Home' and 'Up the Youth Club'.
Live from WOH Radio, Emma will explore the collective effort that underpins music culture, by touching on specific communities that define themselves through sound, to understand how and why this happens.
Emma is an author. Up the Youth Club: Illuminating a Hidden History (Faber, 2025) was named an Irish Times read of the year. Dance Your Way Home (2023) formed the basis of last year’s summer season at the Southbank Centre. She is also the author of Steam Down (Rough Trade Books, 2019), Document Your Culture (Sweet Machine, 2020) and Make Some Space (Sweet Machine, 2019). A dual citizen of Ireland and the UK, her monthly radio show on Worldwide FM ran for six years.
