It was that he was really left with no alternative but to step back from public duty the Lib Dems have published their election manifesto pledging to recruit an extra $20000.00 teachers in England and support the low paid they say their policy of scrapping bricks it would make an extra $50000000000.00 pounds available for public services party leader Joe Swinson says the plan makes economic sense there is wide agreement from economists that if we leave the e.u. We will be pariah there will be less money and therefore if we stay in the e.u. There will be billions pones more to spend on our public services our schools are helping people to get out of in work poverty and so it's important that we set that we're also being honest about where we will need to raise taxes to be able to invest elsewhere the conservatives have pledged to raise the threshold at which people pay national insurance to 12500 pounds a year and Alice is official n.h.s. Data in England shows millions of people are missing out on the dental care they need a survey is revealed more than 2000000 adults haven't been to a dentist in the past 2 years because they've been turned away or put off by the cost and he crouches vice chair of the British Dental Association I think it's absolutely shocking we are a professional want to look after the patients and patients are amongst business you know in a civilised country it's just beyond belief really just a Marine you know has taken charge of Tottenham players for the 1st time after being appointed the club's new manager it's understood the former Chelsea and Man United boss will be paid a basic salary of $8000000.00 pounds a year Rachel Martin is from the Tottenham supporters trust I think a lot of the supporters still felt that Pitino should have been given more time although there was certainly a movement of fans within the club that wanted Marino and then there were others who touted other names but a lot of people still wanted Pitino to be given the opportunity to do it here at Whataburger hundreds of students and under eighteen's have been registered to vote without their knowledge after council i-t. Blunder. Around 630 students were wrongly registered by Plymouth City Council it also sent polling cards to 250 children it says it believes the issue is now resolved it's 3 minutes past 9. At b.b.c. Radio. With. Hey How you doing really exciting to be with you once again to look at Oxford She is live music scene today on the show almost exclusive Kovar a fantastic local artist who's been making waves on the Oxford scene down in London recently recorded 2 live sessions for us she actually came up quite a few weeks ago when I interviewed Tamara past speaker for All Tomorrow's Parties but she didn't have anything sort of recorded we could play at that point so it really is exciting that we managed to pin her down and get record sessions and they sounded amazing so I really enjoyed meeting her last week to get all that recorded and she's very very charming in person you won't be surprised to hear as well plus when Gypsy thing is passed through the children a while ago to play the old fire station I actually managed to go and catch them at their own studio which happens to be the same studio that Mike Oldfield recorded moonlight shadowed in it was great to meet his son Luke you performed in a band along with his wife Victoria to hear how their sound started and shaped and kind of what it's like building a live experience and a brand was a valid thing a sound and kind of figuring out to artistic combined as well as solo projects that are really interesting with a surprising sort of crossover folk indie sound I think you're really going to enjoy I managed to get a couple of life's lessons from them as well before this same studio that Michael Field recorded moonlight shadow and with all that a couple of benefits to stay with us we're here until 10 pm. So continuing on from last week I've had a look through Oxford Chiz gig listings for the week ahead and my Pick of the week is probably the monochrome set playing at the Jericho Tavern on Saturday alongside Peter's pirates and would be good too I mean how cool to have. Forming on such an intimate stage. This is. Coming. From you. And you can write what you told about. This very point. Lead Yeah there you go the monochrome set performing he's frank they are coming to the characters' haven't this Saturday in Oxford don't miss them if you love what you hear next that we're meeting a superstar Oxford sheer talent and getting a couple of sessions to. Really excited to have Chen. Over. And out straight away yeah I feel like that's something worth actually saying on the air because if someone sees your name you know you want them to get it right as well you have a caveat my mom's maiden name I just I had it and I found out what it was and I was like I wanted to come over you know it's very cool and it's a teacher and distinctive I'm not disappointed too much but already heard your vocals and. They distinctive and special as well but I'm so glad we got you into the studio for live at b.b.c. Oxford because you know we had Tamara in here All Tomorrow's Parties she flagged up straight away but we couldn't nail down some music of yours to play here so we got you here to do it you know give it to the same person you know and I was so good I think having the band in this room and vibes bouncing off the walls. There are a few other things about 3 of the horses who are going to get everyone into this glamorous by stage process because we didn't have the mixer we normally have to record these things so there's a bit of a d.i.y. Set up actually in the studio and it was quite special Actually the way that we all managed to cram in and to be honest it sounded pretty good yeah I think what I'm happy with the results I'm so glad you say that. But now you've already mentioned your band members who had to jettison off the high speed to tell us who we are not talking to so we're not speaking to Adrian Reed he paid the keys in the Bay We're not speaking to Joey Porter and he was on drums that's the dream team both very charming gents I have to say. Very handy with heavy luggage as well I mean I'm not seeing that many bands get in and out of the studio as quickly as that So congrats they always Joey's tells me you know musician should never rush but they do it so like swiftly it's just you know the lines by it to be very very well said Jim we've got to we've got to sort of dig into your enigmatic figure here because I've already seen that you've got big news coming up blade a bit truck this year you've just had a 1st headline gig there's a lot going on in your world but actually some of the suggest being into the now so to take us on a bit of a journey if that's not too cheesy way to say it so I've just been I've been getting loads and get writing loads and I've only been performing to people you know with guitar through my headline show so it's been really fun for me to you know really explore the sound that I'm going for so there's big news coming so you have to stay tuned for the 29th of November Ok I'm going to be really. My 1st single Congrats Thank you. I'm so excited because this is a song that means a lot to me you know and I'm so excited to share it with the world and finally people be able to stream all or perform so well done Jan that it's a massive step but this is so cool because even merge as an artist you know most entirely then through the live music scene right or even getting now maybe like 2 years seriously I've been singing my whole life but now it's I was like Yeah this one going to do and then I just thought let me write some music See how is that Open Mike Lee How is everywhere. I may not release anything but does that mean I'm not performing it does that mean I'm not practicing or you know trying to get to the best quality I know I can get it you see I kind of love this because we've had both sides of this now especially in oxygen his music scene because if you weeks ago we had Max planned Sharyn and yeah he is great and it was from the kid what's the phrase one the kid you know want to learn but he kind of did the opposite thing right so as soon as he was starting to play he got he used to school's equipment I think it was to record some demos he kind of got me away about it and gone through the life seen as quite a different sort of routine and yet here you both are beginning to release recorded tracks as well I think everyone has a different process and for me it's more about making sure that what I get represents me and it's what I want to sing about and you know people can really relate relate to that and one thing that a lot of people tell me is or you seem really authentic or I went I did a show in London and I was like. I might you know it's not all great but one thing that people took from my performance was my songs and how you know genuine they seemed in this light because this is literally who I am this is what I'm doing this is a part of me and I need to make sure about when people listen to this leak they see something different about my music you know that's a pretty bold thing to do to put yourself on the page than that but it we were chatting with the lead singer for the ankle death of Anna. Playing stadiums and stuff and going for 14 years and he was saying something very similar he didn't know how to do anything else but by himself on the paper. You know it's it's odd to do it because you're exposing something about who you are not just in the music in the words as well Jim what we should do is we should hear some of that we should hear some of your authenticity in music live in session b.b.c. Radio Oxford and then we can hear a little bit more about your kind of experiences and everything is coming up for you but 1st off what you know introduced the track to this there's there's 2 tracks that we've been able to do here's where the 1st one Ok so this fast one is going to be the new Think about it's coming out Hello it's an exclusive or anything so nothing will be out until the 29th so have a go so this next song is crazy theory crazy for you and this is performed are say it again in a kind of jury rigged d.i.y. Set up in one of the studios of b.b.c. Radio Oxford also with an agent providing drums and keyboards gender. How. Far in on. The phone. I'm crazy. You. Are you. I feel like. The still. Of the still here. Is kind the. Heart is beating sort of like. His I've been finding. The thought of find some born how you do I stay all right. Come on down. Down. I'm crazy for. You. You looked. Like. The school. Of the school you think placing. Me. And. Me. So. You quote me. And I for. The slow. Slow you. Crazy for you Jen back over she's with me in the studio how about that for an authentic voice here from the local oxygen music scene I'm going to chatting more with Janet just a moment the radio on Sunday morning from now I join us from the cheese grater Michele spined it's also says it's becoming clear as the series short hours and Sunday. It's a race against the clock with me in the studio in the car and your brainpower helping us find all the mystery like. It's jellied eels time I kind of. I can't think of a worst thing I've had in my mouth Thank you Michel spined It's also easy it's join me not to come home someday b.c. UK said the b.b.c. Sounds over is with me on live at b.b.c. Radio Oxford and we've just heard how Jen has sort of a ride to the point where she's ready to release her 1st recorded single but she's been through 2 years of writing songs testing out in might nights and gigging as well included in that is truck right truck 1st of all how is that so yeah it was really great because it was really out of the blue I didn't really sign up to pay or anything people from b.b.c. So what I was doing saw how people were reacting to my music life. And they just contacted me so that was really great and it showed that what I was doing was Ok because you know you don't really see music and people can say to you you're not doing anything you're not going anywhere for me I was performing I was you know I was still writing for me it was a really big jump in you know saying that you're on the right path this is all good people like you know if you hire a stunt. You know we'll it's if you're ever if you ever try to do anything creative I think a lot of people can be not getting inside inside as well as outside with that because you absolutely need those moments when you're trying to be authentic for someone to say you know you're not just doing you this is a. Just for you in your bathroom mirror this is something everyone can get involved in a detonator Congratulations so much now you said just before hand that one of the distinctive things about your you know voice isn't just a voice itself which is pretty stunning I must say but it's what you put into your songs as well and this is really personal come from the heart right definitely I think I always tried to make it real when I 1st started writing music it used to be about anything and it still can be but now I try to make it close to someone I know or something I've said or something I hear around the room I just like to make sure that it starts from the right place and then I can grow it to really you know be a part of myself as an artist and do you find no because I often think this with artists when they're singing these things regularly sort of over and over again exe and honing it then g. Have a feel like their personal connection with it gets lost at all or not really I think you just have to see true to yourself in a sense like you write it. For a certain time that you've gone through and maybe you do sing it loads of times and any time I kind of catch myself being like this is quite long I don't want to sing this again I'm like actually this is special and I have to relive the moment and we're all human so we don't always feel like music is the best thing ever why I don't always but to me it's like why did I start this why do I love it and I have to remind myself and put myself back in the mood and I have a great team around me so that misfit always changes when I get to perform and I learn so much from that they know it's interesting because I'm trying to picture you in 20 years down the line when the crowd is saying saying crazy for you and it's like. Again that song you think you can do it you can put yourself back in the mindset and feel your way through I think everything I've written has has meaning to it and I don't know every time I perform I perform to different people you know maybe a few people come the same people but everybody is coming from different backgrounds everybody's coming from you know different life problems and if that song can make them happy then why not. I'm a performer I want to give what I can specially when it's something I've created. Said and that's all cool things feel about your audience 1st and I want to talk a bit about use the sound as well as kind of volved because I think you guys got an amazing kind of fusion here you've got such sort of soulful vocals but actually totally not out of place in the current wave of pop as well very interesting to tone but he got his amazing sort of well I think eighty's inspired synths it's got a bit of soul to it out of that kind of evolved we just. I love the answer how mean agent is amazing he bought it yeah. He I met him through school he was like a music tech guy and he worked with Joe on the side and then we start kind of doing jam sessions or 3 of us because they were looking for a singer and she just maybe picking one so. And then going over that song and just changing it and molding it so it you know it worked with us and I think we're just always very clear on you know just try things out you know don't be afraid to try things out sing what you you want and we a lot of practice is the best practices start off with so if you know if you know about the June team we start practices with it. And that's how we just got to really know each other been thinkin like we do something goes wrong and then we laugh about it but it's not too serious and you manage to carry some of that on stage as well when you guys are performing is there is there a bit of shaping the songs you perform I think so yeah I think it depends on you know the more we perform the better we get and the more free week and I think that's something that's been really important to me and that's why a performance was always can become a large part of who I am as an artist because in order for everything to go smoothly I need to be not stressed onstage I need to be really calm so that yeah it's working and we're able to be more like we were able to pay around more which is a lot more fun and I'm glad you know I'm so pleased whenever someone clearly is enjoying what they're doing and you know it's not just a grind getting the stuff out this is this is fun as well as you know an ambition and something that you're pursuing So congrats again on the single coming out what else have you gone so I'm planning to do a lot more shows in London I'm getting a lot more support for me London's always been a place that I want to be you know there's a lot of opportunities even though Oxford has been so great and getting the b.b.c. Support has been just insane but it's kind of like I was just on b.b.c. List which is really great. So that was amazing that was really amazing to me because it's like I was not just here it's everywhere and that's what I want to do I want to be everywhere and share what I have everywhere just come visit us once a while right I want to go in there I don't think I could live in London that's one thing with the crazy lie. I like to come back to him. About that like coming home after a crazy day I don't want to stay in the craziness I want to be. Doing a job I had going to cover times a week and it did feel like I could cope with this for what 6 hours. Likely affects their. Boy Jen burka thank you so much for coming in Joining us to give these sessions give me so much time to get all recorded they sound incredible . Trouble imagining that your name is going to be across all the billboards in London as I say just come back. All right so introduce to us the next session we recorded this next song is called down for you they saw it is honestly about so I had a lot of friends who like to go out and stuff and that's not really me. I don't. Know I like staying in and I think things like that and for me the song was about finding that person who I could be really real with. Ok here it is keep your eyes on her because it sounds like even Holden turned in he carried along. Definitely want to thank so much. The forward to going in there oh my. Knowing your mind. Child. And I. Could match this so too with few one is actually me. Thank you I'm sorry didn't mean. To put you closer to me. So. Ready. You have. To really learn to. Be good company not someone to just tar. I know that is she's done for you. And you know waste my time. And I don't have the much to. Do with you one this. Time you know I'm shy I think that will profit if you can share a meal in life. You . May. Have to. Oh you down for you played live right here at b.b.c. Radio by Jen Bokova along with Joe and agent what a special sound that is p.c. For Radio Oxford Davies pre-vis prick says in the lead up to the general election debates the difference is we call time on the people who want. To. Join us this week the pipes with the politicians. Questions Friday morning here what happened what our politics pub crawl arrived in did call the next wave heading to the if you've got a question for the candidates in your area. B.b.c. Don't. The politics Tom Cruise around here but the people who want your vote weekdays from 7 b.b.c. Radio b.b.c. Sounds. Yeah plenty to get talking about make sure you cheat in from 7 now then just a couple of things before we get to Gypsy fingers who I interviewed a little over at that time which might Oldfield recorded mean like Shadow really interesting band playing all the time and it's that shit. Really enjoyed speaking with them I think we're going to love the sessions they gave us as well but before we do that while I was looking through listing something else jumped out at me besides that gig from the monochrome set at the Jericho Tavern on Saturday unfortunately this is also on Saturday so you've got a tough decision to make but quarter mile an hour local indie bands all described as an indie rock trio Anyway he were about to release their 2nd e.p. And when I saw that I listened back to their 1st e.p. Which is self-titled as cotton melon and I was kind of blown away by what I heard it's a really amazing sound that I'm not sure the indie rock really covers the sound of it as a bit more fusion going on there it is tough because it can never really pin down an entire sort of band sound but I've got a couple of tracks here to play for you I'm going to play Crash and not satisfied from that 1st quarter Mallon and if you like or you hear that as I do you then this coming Saturday is exciting for another reason because that 2nd e.p. Launch is happening at tap Social down in Botley so you could go along and celebrate with the band as their career sort of keeps taking off I think this is a really great fresh sound and I'm excited to hear the new tracks hear a crash and not satisfy from smell and they originally from quarter mile and if you like where you hear head dance tack social this coming Saturday and after these 2 tracks as much as. Crash and not satisfy their From called surveillance 1st e.p. Call to Bell and their 2nd d.p.s. Launching this Saturday at taps social movement over and that was a really nice surprise to me check into the gig listings this week have you enjoyed the music to Next up it's about chat which if you think is. Sort of a CIO although they do bring a lot of other musicians with them on stage a salute Oldfield the son of Michael Field and Victoria colon they perform with sort of terrifying rubber masks every now and again and they've got this really interesting mix of folk kind of all casual classical rock and indeed synth influences they're very very hard to pin down and date and the last time they were docs that ship playing at the old fire station I got in touch with them and we figured out a way for me to come to their studio which is the same studio where my cold fields are recorded moonlight shadow and I chatted with them amidst all this amazing sort of retro studio equipment there was an editing machine which kind of terrified me with all this real sitting there on the table it was fun hearing from Luke how all that came together and this time around I want to the sort of back story about how and why these teams met and what it's been like developing a sound and a working relationship together because it's not that easy to find complementing musical. Styles and the roles between Victoria and like are really quite clearly defined so happy enjoy this I got a couple of live sessions from them as well while we are at the studio so I also tour 1st of all how it was that this whole project started well we've always musicians thing I mean thing I I lived in Paris for a few years but I went to kind of I just I need to talk and I think I need space to try things out and fail and you know is it better to fail in Paris that it may I think so I think is that it to go is someone you can try you know I because. Something about being scads and like you know my God you know I see the language I don't have any friends you just got to just get you know you know he's going to get working you got to get going and he got to learn you know the language he got to make friends and it just seems to add so much more like purpose and motivation behind like you know starting projects and so that's for me that's what I always enjoy I think jumping in the deep end being terrified. Gets me going is quite good some material is that in Paris so well and and then I decided to leave Actually I think it's time to go back because I've had over the fear. Is that she loved it and I did really well but I it was the music scene that I wasn't quite. Seen and I had some musician friends in London he were kind of part of this quite fun Vikki scene and I thought I'm going to go back and going to join in and very quickly mainly through a friend who actually we don't really know him that well. But I am to a guy who I was cool with. And then he bumped into Victoria a couple of months later only met c I met here and he just thought we'd get on so he was like Ok yeah I really want to touch a musical matchmaker Yes he is and I actually feel as a type of bone Tim No say you know thank you so much nice that you know you. You know it's really just like we've already seen him since he was like 10 you need a right yeah you see his side and he cited 10 apart from that one time he cool. Meeting you and you're like he has no idea what an impact he had on me yeah it was you can say in 20 years he'll be coming back and you know I think that you know the exact progs credit over here yeah I. Know he's a very sick guy anyway so we met we this guy Alex sent you my demos and you contact me the same day and I said let's meet Wednesday and then we met we had coffee whatever and then Friday started playing music and yeah quickly we recorded the 1st song we recorded was you which is on our 1st album and then steal bones and then it just you just want to run summertime Ferial gonna actually that's how you know it's so rare as well I think anyone listening who has attempted to make music with somebody it's almost definable the thing that means it works and I think it means it doesn't you can be the best friends you have the same musical taste but when you get in the room together the music can just not fly so do you feel like you've kind of struggled Yeah I've heard Victoria's demos on Sound Cloud. These are amazing songs and they're really interesting as well but also they're kind of on a lot of them are unfinished like you know I'm a bit of a perfectionist but I'm very good at like finishing stuff off so that and it has great for me as a producer to just be like you've got these great songs I think I can make them better and finish them you know and we both had quite a lot of time it was like 9 years ago 70 s k Yeah I mean we would really fully devoted and dedicated to that so we were like doing like jobs to get by and then yeah and then 60 of us music you know our kind of have to be able to have that much time to get going your time in Paris presumably really set you up well for that is not a not just anyone. Do that it's hard to live sort of bread line existence Well you know my confidence that I really did I was at nightclubs nannying I did what I had to get by and I know ways to get by and the rest of time was just music I met so many musicians and I was so young at the time I mean I honestly often didn't stay for 2 days and I could just keep going and I would do my demos all night and and I was learning to perform and I was you know experimenting in studios with other produces and you know making records in and doing music videos and I'm finding my feet and it was the perfect place to do that I think because I think because I felt like I could be somebody who I didn't think I was that I wanted it is who I was turned on to you actually are very hard to see yourself in as other people might see you and and it's hard to figure out which one is the real time pasta syndromes like Saturday night like I need I want to be. Yes I'm not I guess the fast track is just to say this is what I am even though I'm not yet you're doing things as someone who is that is doing even though you don't feel you are that person. Is like Iran me or come alone let's do something together and you're like oh my God Ok I've said I'm taking a side but I've got to go to step up to the mark and then you know they they like what you did and funny thing. I can do I can I can sing I can film I can write music I don't need to be shy no one's laughing amazing say yeah that's the breakdown I think every lot of people I was who were really crying out for that moment so it's really good to hear that can come through a long process of just trying to make pushing yourself out there rather than just suddenly getting a breakthrough it's kind of actually it's just it started happening and I did cringe at the stuff he got to say I mean this one of the way this mystery is where you make it feels good and there are in the light it dad anything and I was so naive. You know that my going to get in as I did and I didn't have any like sort of inhibitions about just putting it out the amazing. Been writing songs that I was like 1213 and a member that probably the 1st gig that I did my hands like sweaty faces will read I'm really hoping I'm going to all hate my leg with my acoustic tone and was just thinking you know sort of looking back why was I doing that it's just something I wanted to do and then you gradually push through that and you can Ok you get more confidence and you get better of a new improved you know everyone has to start somewhere and you do need to push yourself outside the comfort zone in order to do interesting things and I think about that is that if you look back is that that's how was it a beginning eat could never know how you'll look back at this in something like 10 years' time and you may still see ways you've grown and yes and it's going slicing really because you know the journey just doesn't stop and it doesn't go on things that you know you said beginning there. You almost came in this know like a producer when you had the Tories were appointed you the you were you sort of a member of the band as much as a producer. Thing. And you know some of the songs I had played everything on them and you know they might not be much to play but I've done all the guitars and and then I had a couple of my own songs that I had written and we thought we'd put them on the album go to appointments like we just you know it was everything 5050 so we're equal and 5 got a song that you know having a 5050 partnership and being a Jew I means that you don't really have to worry about yeah he's done more or whatever you know because if we tour it was doing much more of the songwriting and still does do more songwriting but I was doing much more of the production but we still had an equal impact on the recordings which resulted from the alchemy sun is Ok it's not often you hear sort of production side move into the form is as well but it just sounds on the whole thing as we've been saying right from the beginning with you to think is very organic project you've got to go in the music also in a partnership in Santa. Lucia. Was. Able to listen. Steel bones played beautifully that life by Gypsy thing is at the studio now I'd heard them so the hands and the Remus the gypsy fingers were about to polls that touring schedule for a while hopefully to work on other things so I wanted to check the Victoria whether the remains were in Detroit but I'm not going to duck any toes they can and we're going to focus on the new record as well as to start a project running the band is still going to be steady to get his head strong it's just that he really wants to fight it the shy and then come back to us the end of next year with a new tool basically I mean with Daphne I'm not going to turn down any even nice of a Tina tease to play in the sunshine and you know the whole. For you I'd like to take her fate. But I just keep it varies a lot the last few years it's been wonderful and you know the shows read about it but we're really ready to welcome the next record and then mix in old with me on the next tour next I think this is how you feel about it yeah we need to change things up a little bit for the new record and I would like to see us incorporating like a 5th member because you know a lot of our recordings are quite textured So we have a viola player yeah a lot of them because playing French horn but on the record which is also playing guitar and piano so I think with the fit with 5th band member which we've tried ones it will open things up a little bit more mean that we can play more all together right because if you do talk about the recording on tape if you're having to lessen much yourself you're not getting the same sort of collaboration right yeah but for the live show we can push things out and play some of the songs that we don't play at the moment because we can you know just he can play our 5 instruments can touch us you know they'll be a lot of people who were saying yesterday that they you know I'm not going to promise what sort of standards you. Already are drummer has a keyboard on the floor tom No Normally this which he plays during I sometimes playing John we talked about this before I don't really my as I don't that's one of the writers coming nations I hadn't heard he sees really really amazing it actually and I was thinking about getting some foot pedals to play with and I thought Actually no I think we just get together and I tell sort of China for you. It's the stuff yeah sure hit he know I have this like a bass thing and it's like the pedals on a sort of like an organ. Something like tourists. And expensive you're missing the eyes the latest track meet your eyes. I think you took a new keyboard recently which is custom really gets kind of sounds and that's quite exciting to bring them into their show is that and then moving forward. Because there's not been a lot of synth exactly so far this. An atmospheric sounds and obviously there's this production is involved that brings in synthetic elements but not no yes and still quite well like yeah can I get and I mean you have a right hand studio ticket now and that's made parents and 2nd records which I can now play on this amazing keyboard so yeah we've all said picked up another Tron about you know to a guy that made an apparent 2nd album that you know will have I think more of a feature.
