Manage episode 294619580 series 2789989
It's a podcast to lift your spirits this time; we gathered some Devon musicians for a lively chat about finding solace in sound.
We've a wide range of experiences in the Zoom room, from not knowing where to start, to making a living out of music. How does music call to us? What difference can it make to our lives? And is there any such thing as a "proper musician?"
Joining us are Jak Lewis, off to a great start in his career with a recent SW England Prestige Award for "Local Performer Of The Year." Rachel Thame and Deborah Woollaston share their vision as Moor To Sea music collective of a society that values everybody's human need for music.
Recovery Devon director Mike Smith dons another of his many hats, speaking today as songwriter and open mic regular. North Devon favourite Jim "Smalltown" Jones brings a wealth of heart and experience. Finally, host Em Flint holds a space for the "musically terrified!"
We hope this podcast helps you connect with music as a powerful, accessible force for expression and connection. Put some tunes on, pick up an instrument, join a choir or band... the message we're sending is, with music you can't go wrong!
