Today they’ll have a folky feel, as Dave wants to invite you to the upcoming Yung Shue Wan Folk Festival. Brew-Vet Dr. David Gething will be back to answer your furry questions at 12.40. Do get in touch with any questions… and stuff. At 1.30 today we’ll meet the amazing young Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun.
