It’s a very special way for The Fantastival Podcast to turn #75 as I was joined by 5 guests who all appear on The Mind Aid 2022 single as follows:

❤️💚Jordan Murray from Arcade State  

❤️💚Jodi Findlay from Silvi  

❤️💚Jilly & Macca from Distant Images  

❤️💚 Lottie  

It was great to speak to the guys to find his Mind Aid got started, how the acts got involved, what the message is behind the song, everyone’s favourite Christmas tracks, plans for 2022 and in a different spin to the normal process each guest could pick any act of their choice to sing any Christmas song of their choice in a Fantasy Christmas Festival to remember.  

So this is your chance to hear about some of the acts involved on the soon to be released charity single about mental health that you should listen to…
