Bonus teaser - (Ain't got no) Isolation Woes by Viv Wiggins
24 Hours in Isolation24 hours. 24 stories. In music, spoken word and drama.
Before Covid19, before "self isolation" and "social distancing", there was already an epidemic of loneliness in British society. It is most acute in North East England, where 53% of adults feel lonely. Two dozen of the most exciting musicians, poets, producers, theatre writers and comedians from the North East have come together to tell the untold stories of isolation an unprecedented 24hour audio experience.
A new story will arrive on our the 24 Hours in Isolation page every hour, on the hour, from midnight on 21st June 2020. Subscribe now to catch them all
There will be hungry supermarket staff heading to work the wee hours, nervous joggers circling parks, confused older people waiting for social care workers to arrive, autistic school children singing to themselves. As well as sports coaches losing their online audience to Joe Wicks, tired nurses pinning doves on the doors of dying patients, parents hiding from home schooling and lonely neighbours having “just one more bottle of wine”.
To get you in the mood for what's to come on 21st June, here is the coolest of blues tracks - (Ain't got no) Isolation Woes by Viv Wiggins and the 'In House Band'
Viv, Si, Aimee and Leah rock the UK Covid19 lockdown in an original 'lil' blues number recognising what they are grateful for. Written and recorded in lockdown week 3, April 2020. See the full 4min version of the song with its music video here.
