We're joined by Claire Sutton on this week's Sheer Isolation Podcast. As well as being the frontwoman for Swindon bands Mortdelamer and All Ears Avow, she's also an accomplished sound engineer and recordist.
We talk about how the easing in social distancing measures means recording studios can finally start up again, the UK Government's 1.5 billion support package for the arts, and reminisce the 2000 Trees Festival, which should have been taking place on the outskirts of Cirencester this weekend.
Plus we have a couple of tracks to bring you - Gloucestershire pop rockers Elessar, and Kieran's highlight from last year's 2000 Trees; New Best Friend.
The Sheer Isolation podcast is made weekly to promote the music scene in the West of England. It's created by Kieran Moore in Trowbridge and Jon Ponting near Cricklade.
