My guest this week is the 2020 Fatea award winner for the track/song of the year, Steve Pledger. The award was for his spoken-word track 'The Baptists Father'. The track we play in the episode is 'Me and the Silence'. Written and sung by Steve, this track is written as a plea from an individual in a dark place asking for a little empathy and a wider acceptance of the struggle some people face at the end of their capacity to go on.
Steve chats to me about his music, his background, his struggle through lockdown and having covid as well as his work with the mental health charity RT Projects in Durham.
