It was great to be joined in the studio tonight by singer/songwriter Martin Mays. We were able to hear some of his songs, find out where he is with some of his projects at the moment & get an insight into his songwriting process. We also heard a bit of the background to some of his songs, which mainly centered on relationships, but also brought up a discussion about sustainable local communities!
I also played three songs featuring the singer Jónsi in celebration of catching him last year at the Latitude festival & looking forward to the Latitude festival this year. We heard a song from when he was with Sigur Rós, a solo song from the album Go & a collaboration with Tiësto.
