Welcome to a special bonus episode.

In November 2021 we spent a week learning to sing before entering the world of group singing when we joined a choir. If you listened to the show, you may remember us telling the story of Mandy, a member of the R Voices choir and talking about how being a part of the choir community supported her through her cancer journey. Her voice features as a solo in "When We Were Young" during and at the end of the show. Since recording the episode, Mandy's cancer returned and we are deeply saddened to share with you that she passed away last week. We wanted to re release this episode as a tribute to her, to the choir who are grieving her loss and so the world gets to hear her beautiful voice again.
