  • Trapped for 3 score years and 10

  • What qualifies the mentor?

In honour of 25 years playing music, we play, from the Podsafe Music NetworkHoward Jones and his song Building our own Future. We are also lucky enough to have a great track from Peter Robinson called Roar of the Wind for the men of the South of England.Originally we had planned to play the second half of William Woollards Chapter 1 tonight. However, we wanted to include an interview that we are working on but we did not manage to get it done in time! So the next show will include the second half!Thank you for listening and for your encouragement comments and kind emails. Your support is really welcomed, have a great week.
