New releases, festivals abound, and some news about a brief interruption to the normal service. There's talk of summer festivals with a review of just a handful of the performers you might encounter to whet your appetite.

Festivals abound in this episode with a gig guide drawn from the first summer festivals as we take on the challenge of three gins. Homemade Lemon and Thyme gin starts us off before we sample the delights of Dartmouth and some delightful gins from Brixham.

It's festival season! We're easing into the summer with local festivals and a few gigs, two gins, and a short geology lecture courtesy of the African Rift Valley because it really do be that way sometimes. As always Jo and Leo will ease you in with some new releases.

Having caught the bug for tasting multiple gins at Salcombe Distillery last month, Jo and Lee have two gins to accompany this month's new release and bumper gig guide. From floral gins with some May Day inspired track choices, to a navy strength offering with the gig guide, there's plenty to enjoy.

Lee and Jo packed their bags and headed over to Salcombe to enjoy some rest, relaxation, and all of the wonders that Salcombe Distillery had to offer with a gin tasting flight by the water's edge.

Join them on location at the distillery bar as they sample some of the gin on offer, with a full suite of tasting notes to accompany a gig guide that's bulging at the seams after some brand new music due out this month.

We sit down with Janice Burns and Jon Doran to discuss their debut album, taking in their musical background along the way and also exploring some of their community projects. We manage to squeeze in a gig guide too!

January comes with some Scandi vibes and a chilled playlist as Jo and Leo are still very Zen after a spa day, and also very pleased with Jo's new purchase! Details, fun and frivolity within.

So long and thanks for all the fish 2022! We're pleased to see the back of that one, but on closer inspection, hidden deep under a thick crust of annoyance and malaise there were absolute gems to be found scattered throughout the year. We're having a little look back before heading into 2023 at full speed.
