Dreamt up in November 1987 by Matt Haynes and Clare Wadd, Sarah Records became an outlet for uniquely pretty guitar pop inspired by independent labels likes Postcard and Creation. Wadd and Hayne's loving outpour of releases was relatively short but beautifully sweet, introducing the world to the music of The Sea Urchins, The Field Mice and countless others until its so-called "destruction" in 1995. Often overlooked and frequently attacked by the contemporary UK music press, then a breeding ground for pointless macho posturing and self-congratulatory critical hit pieces, the Sarah Records discography has aged spectacularly well. The same can't be said for many of the baggy bands & grunge identikit acts that were the critical darlings of the era. This In Focus is a two hour meander through the timeless, sunny pop music of Sarah Records.

Louis Farrakhan has been played on NTS shows including Jazzman, with Benefit Of Unity first played on 1 December 2016.

Louis Farrakhan Sr. (/ˈfɑːrəkɑːn/; born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933), formerly known as Louis X, is an American religious leader and political activist who heads the Nation of Islam (NOI). Earlier in his career, he served as the minister of mosques in Boston and Harlem and was appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad.

After Warith Deen Mohammed reorganized the original NOI into the orthodox Sunni Islamic group American Society of Muslims, Farrakhan began to rebuild the NOI as "Final Call". In 1981, he officially adopted the name "Nation of Islam", reviving the group and establishing its headquarters at Mosque Maryam.

The Nation of Islam is an organization which the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes as black nationalist and a hate group.[3] Farrakhan has been described as antisemitic by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and other monitoring organizations. Also according to the SPLC, the NOI promotes a "fundamentally anti-white theology" amounting to an "innate black superiority over whites". Some of his remarks have been considered homophobic. Farrakhan has disputed such assertions on many occasions including the SPLC characterizations. He was banned from Facebook in 2019 along with other public figures considered to be extremists.

In October 1995, he organized and led the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. Due to health issues, he reduced his responsibilities with the NOI in 2007. However, Farrakhan has continued to deliver sermons and speak at NOI events.[4] In 2015, he led the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March: Justice or Else.
