It was an Easter #FeelgoodSaturday egg-stravaganza this week (I couldn’t resist), which meant great music and some really fun guests who took a break from scoffing Easter eggs to join me in the studio.
They were Michelle, Declan and Louise from SODS (that’s Southend Operatic and Dramatic Society to you!) and they were here to chat about their latest show – Kiss me, Kate!
Listen back to my interview with the guys, covering topics like how you keep yourself at your best for two performances a day, the challenges of Shakespearean dialect and what you can expect from the SODS interpretation of a Cole Porter classic.
