Hey! Long time no speak (lol)

Thrilled to be back with another episode after a good long break, this time with the wonderfully ethereal talent that is ! 🌟💧🌜🌳

Zoë has long held a place in the Scottish and UK folk music scenes, starting out with her first EP at age 14, and over the years has developed a compelling artistic voice with a loyal following. On her latest recordings, her delicate, breathy tones layer into a silky, other-worldly voice that encourages us to look after ourselves, our people and the world around us.

In this episode, as well songwriting, we discuss in detail a subject very close to Zoë's heart - climate change. We talk about the grief that can come with witnessing the degradation of our planet, but also about the hope that lives on within us to do something about it.

Out next Wednesday 18/12/24!

Episode 7 with up this Sunday 11th! 🌟

Been excited to share this one - after growing in Stranraer together, it was so good to reconnect with Bemz and talk about his incredible rise in the Scottish and UK hip-hop scenes, but also to talk about the struggles he has faced with depression and anxiety, how he eventually came to embrace talking about them in his lyrics, and the positive impact this had on his connection with fans.
