    Weekend overnights with BBC Radio 5 Live

    Local BBC Radio joins BBC Radio 5 Live through the night on a weekend.

Get ready to dance - the Brighton Bash Carnival returns to St Ann's Well Gardens on Saturday 25 July. Kamilah McInnis speaks to its co-founder, Bud Johnston, about what we can expect as the event celebrates its sixth year. We also hear from Rodney Harewood of Reading's Caribbean Heritage Centre, who tells Kamilah about its awards ceremony celebrating the community's unsung heroes. Nominations are now open. Also, Daria Lynch from the Migration Museum talks about recruiting community curators to work with Hastings Museum & Art Gallery on a special project. Councillor Julia Hilton, who works closely with the museum, shares why it was important to be involved. And what links Aretha Franklin and Luciano Pavarotti? Find out in a special sample show inspired by the BBC Proms, as Kamilah takes listeners on a journey through hit songs influenced by classical music. Join Kamilah McInnis every Friday from 7pm-10pm for great tunes, good vibes and conversations from our African and Caribbean communities.
