Packed show this week! I was back in Kingston for the final (ever?) shows by hometown heroes The Wilderness, splitting up after 10 years of inspiring the Kingston music scene. Photographer and friend of the show Owen drops by to review much-hyped NYC alternative band Geese's Toronto live show, and we have a lot to say. And coverage from this year's Mercury Prize, and why South Shields working class hero Sam Fender's win at the first Mercury held outside of London is significant. Music by

Echobelly, The Last Dinner Party, Sam Fender, Joe Webb, Shale, DellaXOZ, Master Peace, Tara Lily, bar italia, The Wilderness, My First Time, Geese.

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, I caught up with Jasmine.4.T outside the Baby G in Toronto, the venue of the first show of her first North American headline ‘Tranarchy’ tour! We talked musical influences, Manchester, trans joy, solidarity, her debut album You Are The Morning and how signing to Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory label "changed her life" (Lucy Dacus' words, not mine!). This was a fascinating interview and I'm grateful to Jasmine for her time and thoughful answers. On radio, we broadcast a slightly shortened version of this recording for time, here it is in full.

Songs played on the show: Elephant, Woman.

The site Jasmine mentions where you can donate to Yulia's cause is freeyulia.com.
