First up tonight I was joined in the studio by local singer-songwriter Rachel Arnold, just ahead of her appearance at the Essex Undiscovered solo artist heat at Chelmsford’s Hot Box venue. In less than 2 years since releasing her first song, Rachel has already amassed quite a catalogue of tracks and, as we found out, some of them were played on a piano once used by Coldplay’s Chris Martin! Click above to listen back to that story and many more! Find Rachel on Facebook and SoundCloud.

Next up it was the return of Parrilla. Chris & Dani also joined us just ahead of an Essex Undiscovered appearance, theirs being at Chinnery’s in Southend. They’ve also just released their new EP, Dancefloor Messiah, from which we heard 3 tracks tonight, alongside a track from Chris’ solo project Razorrhead, which featured a guest vocal from Dani. Parrilla can next be seen at Colchester’s The Bull on April 3rd as part of Metal 2 the Masses – in the meantime you can find them on Facebook and Bandcamp, where the EP is on sale now.
