Episode notes

In this episode of Talk of the Town; Gareth & Lisa focus on entertainers from Northampton changing their outlets to an online variation during the lock-down. First up, the guys chat with local musician Ray Hue, know to many as Reggae Ray, who is often seen playing solo around town or with his band Rhythm 'n' Roots. Ray talks about how he is coping, his online gigging, answers the COVID-5 questions and he plays us a couple of numbers.

This is followed by an exclusive interview with Sean Grew, who is part of The Old Five Bells All Stars, their charity song (or lockdown hoedown version as they call it) of John Denver's "Country Road" and its accompanying music video is seeking to raise money for the NHS. 

Then DJ O.P.1 drops into the virtual studio for a chat and plays us a special mini-mix...don't miss that!

The final guests are Jonathan & Sian Goodwin from the Don't Go Into The Cellar, Theatre Company...who are currently undertaking performances online. They talk about how the lock-down has affected them, thoughts for the future and of course they answer the COVID-5 questions.

NOTE: due to remote recording, the sound quality is understandably not to the normal quality standard. Apologies. Normal service will resume when this crisis over, promise!
