News and views from the waterfornt at Royal Clarence with Sarnia and some gogeous Beethoven from the vinyl archives.

hello gorgeous people of the internet welcome to royal clarence radio i'm going to the new forest today i'm rather excited and i understand that uh going to the new forest may not be one of the most exciting things in the world but i'm taking my camera you see and making art and taking a camera just changes the event into something a little bit less predictable because you can never know what you're going to find so i'm really going to get get in amongst the um the wilderness there because it's a wonderfully wild eco um vibrant place so i'll tell you all about it tomorrow we're going to have lunch somewhere i'm not sure where i'm with my godfather and mummy and it's going to be really wonderful now the sun's sort of pretending to shine it's coming in and going out but i think that's that will work in my favor and i'm very good at the post-edit i can add sunshine to my photographs as we all can we can add sunshine to the past darlings if we um if we just edit the truth a bit um and thinking about that actually i'm taking my uh my very very wonderful piece of equipment's called a zoom h6 which is going to um record my radio show because i'm going live well live recorded sort of thing on monday to the rotary event at stokes bay i do hope you can come along i'm going to be interviewing people and uh you know talking about what's going on up there so you'll hear all about that on the tuesday but i'm taking this piece of equipment with me which was um funded by the futures venture foundation who are a radical arts body who funded me at the start of lockdown and i've never used it because of lockdown we've never been allowed out so outside was not really an option unless i was on my own of course um but then you you know you can just use your phone but when you're talking to other people you start to need fairly um robust and high quality equipment so this piece of equipment that they bought me was um more expensive than a month's rent let me tell you so i'm rather excited about it being the first time i'm very excited about the whole event it's going to be super fun so if you're going up there i can uh well you can give me a poke i mean i thought i should have a flag really shouldn't i coming out of a hat that says raw clowns radio or something um because how will people know it's me i mean i'm just going to have to go and accost people aren't i and sort of say to them do you want to fancy a quick interview and there's lots of bikes and cars up there and that's why i want to go actually because i want to photograph them i'm hoping to get hold of somebody from the rotary club have a bit of a chin wag and find out what they've been doing and who are the rachel club i don't know who they are you know obviously i'll do some research um i sort of vaguely know who they are but you don't know details they just you know you've seen something in a town or you've seen the brand you don't necessarily know what they what they get up to so i'll be sorting all that out um but today looking ahead today um i'm just going to take my phone i've got a really good phone and i don't think um i need to worry about taking my big camera i've got a big girl's camera too um anyway thinking about uh doing predictable things that aren't very exciting because futures venture who funded the equipment they're a radical arts um body the charity basically a body and trust from a some people in the 1960s who were radical artists and they had this big house and i think they all made art and then when they died they left it in trust and this money goes on to help artists such as myself so it's all rather fabulous but they were quite radical and i guess going to um stokes bay and going to the uh the forest today to do some photographs it doesn't seem to be quite radical of course i'm going to play 23 minutes of beethoven in a minute and...
