We are back with a bang and we are delighted to welcome as our special guest Susie Winkworth. Susie is a professional Cellist and Arranger whose tweet streams over the past couple of weeks @winkmusicuk have garnered more than 75 thousand shares and retweets and highlight perfectly the dilemma facing the creative sector and it's mostly freelance staff of world class performers and technicians. Susie joins us to discuss the current situation and tell us about an initiative on 6th October "Let Music Live" which is worthy of all our support. You can find more information about this on Instagram and Twitter @letmusicliveuk

Episode 27 We welcome a Special Guest

We are still in lockdown, well mostly, so we present another special and yes eagle eyed listeners will notice that Episode 26 appears to have gone missing in action but in truth we started production on that a few weeks ago and couldn't get logistics sorted so Episode 27 it is!
We review all of the current news theatrical and beyond with regard to the current crisis, discuss how we are going to get back to normality and we are delighted to welcome as our Special Guest Alistair Woodgate of Green Room Productions to talk about the impact lockdown has had on amateur theatre and the prospects going forwards.

Episode 31 One Tier or Two?

Richard and Cliff are thinking about tiers this week and talking about allocation of much needed funds to artistic organisations. They look back at the long life of Herbert Kretzmer acclaimed songwriter, and best known perhaps as the lyricist for Les Miserables although his artistic output is far greater than simply that, and discuss the exciting news about the Les Mis Concert being staged in London over the Christmas period, although sadly even at the time of recording tickets are sold out.
There is news of a new appointment, and Richard reviews live streams from the Crazy Coqs. We also preview a couple of forthcoming shows there which you can also book as live streams.
