… the immortal words of Beth Nielsen Chapman, who spoke to me ahead of her gig at Emmanuel Church, Billericay on 26 July.

Feelgood Saturday came over a bit country this week, as twice Grammy-nominated Beth called for a chat. The most recent inductee into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, Beth is swapping Nashville for Essex as a warm-up for her gig at the Cambridge Folk Festival next weekend. She made time during her hectic rehearsal schedule to speak to me, so you’ll hear that interview as part of this week’s Feelgood Saturday. You can also listen to it separately below:
