A fascinating conversation with Mary Lovett who talks us through her creative life from her musical childhood through to becoming a composer, singer and producer of driving electronica soundscapes underpinning ethereal vocals, designer of bonkers automata machines, maker of immersive shows, facilitator of community singing groups, mother of four, and a neurodivergent mature grown ass woman who’s not ready to shut up yet.

Maria talks us through her journey, from growing up black in Norwich, through the bands The Incidentals, Girl In A Thunderbolt and Sink Ya Teeth, to her recent, critically acclaimed solo album Soft Cuts, which "twists and mutates it’s way through it’s influences, chewing up the sum of it’s parts and spitting out a groove-laden mash-up that nods to both 90s rave culture and Afro-futurism".

José McGill takes us on a journey from playing in his irascible father's band to forming Norwich roots music legends The Vagaband, known for their annual Midwinter Moonshine shows, among other things, including performing with youth orchestra, soundtracking a government information campaign, playing in all sorts of places, including a small island off Goa, only accessible at low tide, and most recently championing new kids on the Norwich roots music scene, Brown Horse.
