My youngest guest's to date, Revivaly are Ben, Josh and Lewis from Cleethorpes/Grimsby, Josh has just finished his GCSE's to give you an indication of their age's but they are a proper band, no doubt about it!

They've shared stages with Reverand & The Makers and The Lathums, playing some of the biggest festivals including most recently, Kendal Calling.

We touched on all this plus loads more and then the band picked their heroes.

Be sure to check the band out afterwards, they have two singles already released with loads more to come, Revivalry are ones to watch!

The final podcast of this run of 4 and what better way to end it than with NATI.

She describes herself as painfully Scottish, she is a ball of energy, also a Tik Tok sensation and Newton Faulkners best pal!

An absolute dream to interview, what this lassie has achieved since lockdown is nothing short of phenomenal!

Did I mention her new single is out on Friday (12.07.24) Pre-save 'Heard It All Before' here Heard It All Before (ffm.to)

Listen and enjoy and then check out her links here:
