Charlotte Raffo recorded on 23/01/2024

Charlotte Raffo has lived in Leeds since 1997. Her award winning business The Monkey Puzzle Tree collaborates with Yorkshire artists to create locally made fabrics and wallpapers with a twist and a conscience.

Charlotte plays Indian harmonium and suitcase percussion in jazz band The Devil’s Jukebox, which has been delighting and terrifying audiences since the early noughties.

Charlotte’s other Leeds experiences include working at the Pittard’s tannery in Cross Green until 2006 when it sadly closed, and spending her formative years visiting The Phono alternative nightclub - where she met her husband.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
