I have been meaning to share this for a while. The other week I went to a wonderful pop up cafe in Lothersdale Village Hall. It was the idea of Isaac Chapman, who is still a pupil at Ermystead's Grammar School in Skipton. Hopefully we'll get an interview with Isaac very soon and also keep you informed of his next venture. Well done, Sir

Antony Silson is back on air today from 4 to 7. Apologies for last week, but he lost all track of time and days. Anyway, tonight there'll be some John Martyn, Paul Weller, Frankie Miller, Jo Stafford and Frehel amongst others. Plenty of long tracks and things to helpfully jolt you out of that returning to work blues. Join him live or listen in on the podcast later. Welcome to 2020!
