The Venus Girl EP is released today on Spotify (I don’t know where they got 23 August from!), iTunes and Amazon. It features Venus Girl, Julia, Madrid and That’ll be the Day. I hope you agree it’s been worth the wait. It…
The interview with Tom Walker seemed to go relatively well. I sound even more nervous than I felt with that microphone under my nose instilling “on air” fever. Still, at least I talked some sense and it was vaguely interesting.…
Tom Walker is a partially sighted freelance journalist and advocate for visually impaired and blind people. He is best known for his broadcasts on Radio 4’s In Touch programme, but will also be a familiar voice to listeners on BBC…
