On this week's Sheer Isolation Podcast we talk with Rob Dahl from one of the South West's most loved music venues, The Cheese & Grain in Frome. With the expectation this industry is going to be closed for months to come, we discuss what it's like having to write off bookings as a promoter, and how venues could be able to reopen later in the year.
We also play a track from punk band Chinese Burn, celebrating the rise of a political movement in Stroud some 180 years ago, and alt-rockers yourcodenameis:milo who have reformed for a Music Venue Trust fundraiser special.
The Sheer Isolation podcast is being produced weekly to promote the music scene in Wiltshire and the West of England. It's created by Kieran Moore (Sheer Music) and Jon Ponting (4014 Project; The Late Gig).
We send our thanks to all musicians who've allowed us to use their tracks in this show. Musicians and artists are very welcome to send us videos to feature and any news or streaming dates... sheerisolation@gmail.com
