The Sgt. Pepper's Friends campervan rolled up near the market square in Dudley and met Ann, Mani, Gladys and Carol. This is what they had to say about living in their town. 

Roger and Chris are joined by Chris' wife, Lisa today. The best laid plans and all that! 

Fully intending to take the Sgt Peppermobile into the Shropshire countryside to spread the word, when the heavens opened and the only thing for it was to go to a beautiful Shropshire pub and talk about how their festive seasons had been. Lisa tells how her late Christmas spirit got into full flow thanks to earrings from Primark. Not forgetting her annual maxim, Christmas is for family and New Year's for friends. 

Hope you enjoy.....

Forgotten Voices - COVID 19 has impacted on everyone. We've all had different experiences and no two lives have been the same.

Throughout the pandemic Sgt. Pepper's Friends has got to know the lockdown stories of many people. They have real tales of resilience, relying on strangers, coping with no physical contact from loved ones, becoming poorly, experiencing bereavement and much more.

We've spoken to eight people who live or work in the Black Country who were willing to share their stories that will surprise, shock, sadden and even make you laugh. 

Forgotten Voices was recorded and produced by Roger Edwards - we hope you enjoy it.

Roger and Chris were on their way to the local snooker hall. Now that the Olympic flame has gone out, two cups of tea and the tape machine running it soon becomes apparent if ever there was a medal for spectating they're both in with a shout. I wonder if they ever got to play snooker! 

The realisation that shops you thought were still on the high street have gone - as quick as a flash. 

We mull it over, you'll be amazed. Then again, not surprised. Hope you enjoy.
