Afia Lorraine tells us about the making of her wonderful debut EP "Drift Away" on this episode and also makes her long-awaited return to the podcast (Episode 26 was the first time she was here).

Pete is one hell of a chap, which is why finding out that he might be leaving town soon was a little sad to hear. The least I could do was record a podcast episode to commemorate our time together, so that's exactly what I did. To keep up with Pete, and wherever his travels may take him, you can find him at: -- https://www.instagram.com/peterichy_ --Thanks Pete, and thank you all for listening.-- Take Care --

Thank you to everyone who took part in the shows I mention on this episode. Felt strange to get back on the mic here (as it always does after a break), so I'm just sharing what's on my mind on this one.--Take Care--

Grace is a large part of the reason why it's been so great to do the open mic at The Nelson's, and this episode was recorded after her last shift there. So I thought I'd say goodbye to her in my own special way, by recording a podcast with her.Goodbye Grace, and thanks for everything. Have fun on your travels!As for me, I'll be sticking around. Don't forget, I have two shows coming up in the near future: -- The Stag's Head, Hoxton on Sunday 16th June from 5pm -- Roadtrip and The Workshop, Old Street on Tuesday 25th June from 8pm.Thanks for listening folks.Take Care.
