Grove to secure. In a suit. Just couldn't bring soon to go. Radio messages had special guest in the studio today some of the members from broken strings Good afternoon C. Well you know OK I was the 1st time in radio or you know. If you've been since we're being here in Hanover Street as well yeah yeah a couple of months ago to promote Ukulele Festival Calista list John that we put on annually Oh brilliant OK so you've got the new E.P. Out which is what basically what we're talking about today I'm back some great songs on there I love your rendition of Folsom Prison Blues By the way Absolutely absolutely brilliant but you know there's a story beyond the E.P. That was well as now that is the present you want to tell us more about say yeah well I suppose it's down to maybe undiagnosed with secondary breast cancer 12 months ago and you know with the support of I mean cottage is obviously fairly close to our hearts and be intreated by from CA to bridge and and you know 12 months on and on treatments and I'm still living. My life as normal as possible so as a band we wanted to give something back so we decided to put the piece together and and put most of the proceeds back to CA to cancer class to bridge cancer charities Ari. What a brilliant cause and what a brilliant thing to me because you guys have been together for a while I think if you are a bit late to the party when you notice I just. 18 months after the 1st of all of the. This was strong and basically just joined to give some support with precaution so that's how I got involved and Tom and Patton the guys asked me sir. To help them out with simple question and just developed from there so we use it a home based drum kit because the 7 of his in the band and the stage you know smoke stage is really can't accommodate that many people comfortable and so we just use a small kitten but the sound really well and as you can hear on the on the on the you know the sound really really good it's very very well balanced it is it's a great sound I'm glad that only 3 members of the body came in took excede Robert Thompson you know it was well it's now a itself is absolutely fantastic I listen to all of the trucks and all of those songs are only they're kind of like they're in the crossover between country and blues and and. Tell us more about how you know we're all we're all going our own kind of styles that music would like but we all of a bit of blues a bit of country but apart so it's really just like OK so you know we rehearse every week we restructure songs out we can are some steak and some don't you know just give me well and we just wanted to do something that kind of sums up the mix of stuff we do it's a really wide range of stuff that if Steve stuffed Johnny Cash Patsy Cline with the girls you know the fifty's sixty's stuff and it and it's just we just thought let's get a you know there's even a you know a possible one on there you know my head so that we just wanted to do something that was an entertaining listen yeah how did you was what we do how did you arrive at those songs to be a really just a yes because it is a very kind of eclectic mix of stuff that we play we thought well let's let's do something that people will know and a few that they will say fulsome is one of them you know we 1st met in a ukulele Pand and. Any ukulele band will play full some and we thought well we still love playing fulsome but that's because we've got the power let's play a bit differently so we'd be kind of made a bit more bluesy to the banjo in there and sly and harmonica in and I think it's fair to say that these are some of our favorites Yeah yeah yeah I mean we wanted to showcase parts voices Well yeah because I don't think I want to get bound you know I mean that's one of the reasons why the album so good because of we think absolutely voice lead vocals are so good I mean our E.P. Here give me hand it's a really snazzy call then you can sound it didn't yeah I did it out it's a real labor of love and that's what I do as as a job anyway but you know a lot of design and C.T. Has its with it's one of the things it's great I mean the photo there's Afghan war pro on the act which if even if you can else and people can often operate but how can people get all the P.S.C. They can if they want to buy a copy right well if you go onto if you look for us on Facebook broken strains and get in touch with us through that we can set me that want to yes but we've also got a charity night coming up next Friday that will cut a social club in Garston And and we're going to have C.D.'s there so if anybody comes along to that they can buy a CD offers you know interest off well let's give them an example of what they can listen to with the common along to the gate and that a fair song on the on the is Folsom Prison Blues So we want to introduce him for us yeah this is kind of bluesy version of Johnny Cash is false in prison. The book The. You. Be honest with yeah out of all of the songs on the page that's probably me favorites to be honest with you it's just so different is making it really as we like to call the ending of that the car crash ending because it was every man for themselves was so used to play it live and not because it when we you know play it live it just is what it is when you because you're doing your individual tracks it's like OK I had to finish that I was a Carney and everybody else was just like OK just go for it. Play a part in the arrangements of the song or yeah it's yeah we answer just I say in rehearsal as well just pick songs images not ago and some you know just sometimes you can find straightaway that that works for you and it's going to be a keeper so you know they just kind of development which I write and you play it live and it changes a bit every time you play it you know it's yes actually we do between As you know you mentioned the gig next Friday he writes in Garston What are you going to I was born in Brad tell us what I would take nothing for me and well it's just a marker to social club so Tickets are 5 pounds and we're going to split the proceeds of all the ticket sales and a raffle between classic rich cancer charity and also carries Jannie Carey is a young 15 year old local gal whose own to get in treatment for leukemia at the moment so we're going to split the money between the 2 I think it's a great cause really as maps you know and how is the treatment going if you don't mind me asking is that in my treatment I'm alive and kicking and that's good enough for me and I'm single in the band and it's like I'm just so if people want to get tickets for the next friday how us well how they did it again came through broken strings Facebook page or go and see Mitch at the book courses club and she's got tickets there as well brilliant so are all of the members going to be there next Friday and. Labor. Yeah. Nightmare to be honest with you because I'm. Just long with a new gig. So you've got you going Friday night and you'll arrive on Wednesday to say. Well we're going to play the next truck from the from this. I think it's the 4th truck has made. Which is that obviously a Royal Regiment of parts and you don't know once again you've done an absolutely fantastic job on that. Song that's up listen to it you want to introduce it for us . You can string. There you go me 2nd favorite song. It's got you know that. There isn't a single song on repeat that I just don't like it's just it's a very different ethnic composition so many different genres and yet you know really goes in your THE AFTER look at the top of the telling to see you know you're the drama in the band Well you have to caution is the source rather than you know using a full case or sound like I said before we don't really get that much space to put a full. You know just just develop in a home which based on a Spanish wine box really come on and that's what it is it's just it's a it's a wooden box but you got some symbols in bits and pieces and maybe a snare drum and again you can actually get a sound out that is good as any drum gets and the support is very portable so yeah it works well for the bass and it's all. It must be a logistical nightmare when you get to a gig especially a venue you're often been to people and think how we can fit on their Yeah yeah it's one of them actually sits on the shoulders pass and it generally goes. It's that you out to be honest and then we've got an idea that we're going to set it up . Right and it was really short notice so you know thanks for coming in today really short notice because I think it was only Friday wasn't it. When I said to you a young man I mean he was today so thank you for taking the time to. Say you're sorry but what's next for broken strings then more E.P. Is in the yeah we want to record some of it we actually want to record. Only out because that's how we started Yeah and it's just a nice thing to do and we've got another list of songs that we want to do another of the pain that's the record So just remind us again how people can get in touch with the body you know the pay and say if you go we've got a Facebook page program strings so check that we generally pull information of any gigs coming up and say we've got to say the charity night next Friday at the real causes and on the 15th with the bridge. And so. Forth and so forth and such things well take loads and loads of C.D.'s with it because I'm sure you're going to sell absolutely loads of them and you know it's for the calls that you know touches so many of us really in here and life does make it so thanks for coming and it's been great since Old see it this afternoon and we come in again and do it all over again later and I was going. Guys it's been a pleasure thank you so much this I mean it's right. Good to. It's a song give head before it's by local girl Meghan Louise from the we'll of course Coltrane song that's the absolute mega stardom I am sure got a brand new single from head to play for you that you're in for a real treat when we get the all clear on the green light to play on the show and that really looking forward to that but let's get the latest now on the region's roads.

Brooke I'm focusing on the way from 4 o'clock this afternoon a so many of the between 5 and 7 and then a very special on the beat tonight from 7 and 8 Spencer lady hosts his 2000 show can you believe that is absolutely what an achievement that is a bad head guys at talking about all week on the station this week. Congratulations says Spencer on his 2000 show tonight I mean it's always a great lesson anyway beyond the B. Program but sets a night is going to be extra special and I'm sure he's going to have a few surprises in there as well and he's one of those people is an expensive. You know I think there isn't anybody in the world of pop music or anything like that that Spencer hasn't met or interviewed over the years I mean he knows so much about music you know so much about the people he talks so I think he's met just about everyone ask me you really have. A couple of weeks ago. Remember his name down on a piece of paper for the life of me find that paper. The song on his name as well but at the time he was out the back with a wife listening to the show enjoying the sunshine there you go promise to play that for you thank you for bringing the tension as well what a great song. On the country program he would ever have thoughts like. This afternoon Don't forget my broken is on the way next we're folksy Naysmith between 5 and 7 and then Spencer late tonight from 7 hosts his 2000 show of on the beat. Look at. The Blues. Racing's in a warm welcome to folk scene with me. Mike Bracken you might remember a couple of weeks ago I mentioned the 4th coming Radio 2 focal wars etc in the nominations Who are you know hoping to do well out of it so I thought I'd give us all a reminder of a few that we've played in a few of the tracks that we we thought have been of great value plus a handful of new releases this week and also just a little bit about the old gig here in that too so without further ado let's go straight into the woman one of the nominations for best album the album is called I'm cola on it's by fluke.
