Thanks so much for listening and keep helping us work towards our goal of giving back to grassroots music charities!

Our podcast is supported by our friends at the Arts Council England.

Recorded at Chinnerys, Southend - one of the most respected music venues in the UK.

Welcome to a brand new podcast for the music lovers - Breakthrough! Hosted by Jake Peach, we're on a journey to help change the music industry, one episode at a time!

Our goal? In the long-term, we want to give back to grassroots music charities that are helping to keep the music industry thriving and allow the next generation of artists and talent to come through.

We're going to chat to some of your favourite artists about the journey of their career so far, the highs and lows of where their music has taken them and find out some things along the way you might not have known about them; as well as their passion for the grassroots.

That's our goal and we want YOU to be part of it - welcome to Breakthrough!
