The August bank holiday weekend brings a feast of music to west London as Notting Hill Carnival marks its 56th year.

The celebration of Caribbean culture runs over three days, with musical styles from calypso to dancehall for over two million expected revellers.

Mark Blunden is joined by sound system pioneer and Notting Hill Carnival director Linett Kamala, who in 1985 at 15 years old was one of the first female DJs to perform at the event.

Linett spoke to The Standard podcast from Powis Square, where she was putting the finishing touches to her dubstep-focussed Trojan 7 x Lin Kam Art sound system collaboration.

In part 2, Rachelle Abbott speaks with Joshua Thomson, artistic director of Australian performance art troupe Legs On The Wall.

His production Thaw will see members of the daredevil dance troupe suspended above Docklands from a crane atop a 2.5-ton melting block of ice in a bid to urge action on climate change.
