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.
This is the first video episode of Working Hours, so if you’d like to see Charlotte and myself as we chat then hop on over to the YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@workinghourspodcast4618
If you’re brave enough and if you’re interested in being on YouTube, then let me know you’d like to be on the show and you’d like to use the video from your online recording. I’ll clean my teeth, brush my hair and sort my background out for you.
