Tyson McVey meets Neneh Cherry
In this episode, the musician Tyson McVey sits down with her mum, Neneh Cherry. The Cherry-McVeys are a famously creative family. Tyson’s dad, Cameron McVey, is a producer who’s worked with Massive Attack, All Saints and Sugababes. Her sisters Mabel and Naima are also musicians, and Neneh’s step-father was the jazz innovator Don Cherry. Tyson made her first onstage appearance before she was even born, when Neneh performed while pregnant with her on Top of the Pops in 1988. During their Face-to-Face conversation, Tyson and Cherry chat about family unity, nostalgia, the profound impact of the Buffalo Collective and Ladies Music Pub – the collective co-founded by Tyson, which supports women and non-binary musicians. This episode of Face-to-Face was recorded at The Standard in London and created with Front Ear Podcasts. Stay tuned for the next episode.
