The Twilight Sad are one of our favourite bands and, more importantly, are a favourite band of some of our young people. Craig was joined by two of the Crew as they welcomed James and Brendan to the pool table to talk about the band's background, experiences and motivations as professional musicians.

In episode eight, the crew have invited Laura Baillie to have a chat about politics, the LGBT+ community and how one might relate to the other. The young people felt it was important to have a space to talk about these issues and share their own experiences!
