SPEAKER_01

Hello there, welcome to the New Music Generator. We are here once again for two hours of the best music from emerging artists from across East Anglia. My name is Tim Willitz, and you might be watching us on YouTube. Hello if you are, or you might be listening to us on the podcast or on Noggs Radio. However, you are finding us today. You are very welcome, as I say, two hours of the best music from emerging artists from across East Anglia coming up for you. And that was arguably one of East Anglia's biggest bands at the moment. After Drive Guests in the studio a couple of weeks ago, that's their latest single called Fashion. Since they were last with us, they have already had that track played on Radio One. They were off to play the Ipswich Town Fan Park the weekend after they were with us, and they did that, and that all went very well. And they've also reached the final uh stages of uh being able to play an event on behalf of Harley Davidson, uh which is a rather exciting brand to be involved with, um, which would see them perform at Harley Davidson's events across Italy, Portugal, and Austria. And they would like your support. If you uh would like to go and give Afterdrive your vote, then head over to their socials, After Drive Band, and you'll find the details on how you can give them your support there. Uh, what have we got for you today? Well, loads of new music once again from the inbox. As always, you've been filling us up enough music to uh take us through the next two hours quite comfortably. We'll play you some uh tracks from artists from across the region. We're gonna be in Norfolk with Blank Talk, uh, we're gonna be in Suffolk with Connor Adams, Cambridgeshire, with Lost Robbins and Ollie Bruce, and we're gonna be in Essex with Tom Harbour, and we're also gonna look back at last week's live studio guest interview that was from Dan Sutton. Uh Dan celebrated his 21st birthday just the day after he was with us. So belated happy birthday once again, Dan. He went for a picnic in um I think it was Thetford Forest or Brandon Forest, one of the two. Looked very nice. Um we're gonna bring you an excerpt of that interview and also a track that Dan played live uh in a little while. We'll also take a look back at the NMG Awards live performances as we are starting to do now, and we're only going back to last year. Today we're gonna play you Ross Stewart's set from 2025, so looking forward to that. Uh as always, all the usual contact details apply if you want to get in touch with the programme. It has been recorded in advance this week, so even if you are on YouTube and you post in the chat, I won't be able to respond to you live. But it's always nice to see your comments, and as always, if you want to get in touch with us on YouTube, you need to be a subscriber to our channel. I'm trying to get to 200 subscribers by the end of the week. We're on 165 or something like that. Uh so we'd like a little bit of a boost. So if you are listening to this now or you're watching it on YouTube and you're not subscribed, please just click the subscribe button. It helps get the word out, get the videos out to uh a more of a wider audience and spreads the word even further than we already do. Right, let's get on then with the new music, and we're gonna revisit the playlist from last week for the first couple of tracks. This is new from Taylor Made. This is called Know No Better.

SPEAKER_00

D D like I know no better. Quick key like I know no better. 30s like I know no better, 13 with a dream. Cause I knew no better. I'm mean on this speed, man. I know no better. This T man I know no better. TV exercise, cost me. That's it's 23, man. I know no better. Big kid with a stiff wrist, tryna monetize all the things that I've witnessed. Best bits of existence in this instance and the times that I've misbehaved. No after your ten pence for your two cents, you're a new sense, incense rage. Just looking for a two-step, wanna get loose to the tunes on the vibe and the rave. Come alive on the stage, never died on the page. If I'm writing away, then my mind can escape. Ga lie what I say, you're invited. To stay when you're engaged, no whip, there's a smile on my face. I'm embracing the fragrant fruits of our labor. Mind I would tune with respect from a stranger. The boots, the shoes, the shirts, the suits, the work in the booth. Gonna need you a tailor. D D like I know no better. Quick key, like I know no better. 30s, like I know no better. 13. But the dream, cause I knew no better. I'm mean on this speed, man. I know no better. This T man I know no better. TB excise, trust me, that's S23, man. I know no better. Symphizing hours I'm mastering. Mixed up the mark like I'm plastering. Chuck GPT said, I'm on my way, but I ain't no G, so I'm asking him. Ego screen, he fastening. These wanna be G's need fatherin. Playing past the parcel. Five years ago when they get out, like you're harder than half the gym. I'm rinsing not watched, late not lost, raise no cost, so I ain't got dust. Cambridge raised in that place, not posh. But my neighbours' favourite saying's good cushion with a white picket fence, portion rubbins. Two minute walk on the corner, my friends gone four in the tens, and we caused an events. No wonder we love work forced off the edge. D D like I know no better. Quick key like I know no better. Thirties, like I know no better, thirteen but the dream. Cause I knew no better, I'm mean on this speed, man. I know no better. This team and I know no better. T B excised plus me, that's this twenty-free man. I know no better. D D like I know no better. Quick key like I know no better. Thirties like I know no better, thirteen but the dream. Cause I knew no better, I'm mean on this speed, man. I know no better. This team and I know no better. T B excise plus me, that's S twenty three, man. I know no better, eh.

SPEAKER_01

Taylor made and no KNOW. No NO better. That is his new track available now to stream in all the usual places. And speaking of things that are available to stream in all the usual places, uh, our podcast is available. So you can go on Spotify on a new profile now from where we were before. But if you search for New Music Generator, you should find it. Uh, you can find us on there, and also you can find us wherever you get the rest of your podcasts from. So Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, you know, most places to be honest, it goes out everywhere. And failing that, you can go onto our website, newmusicgenerator.com, click on the homepage, and when we've uploaded the latest edition, you'll be able to uh stream it from there. And as always, uh has become a tradition now, we are also rebroadcast on a Thursday afternoon from four o'clock on Noggs Radio, and there'll be details of some uh hopefully some more radio station partnerships coming in the next few weeks. It's got lots of exciting things going on in the background at the moment, uh none of which I can tell you about, but there'll be a uh flurry of announcements over the next few months of uh various things that we're gonna be involved with and things that we're gonna be doing and starting and all that kind of stuff. So really uh enthused by uh NMG at the moment and uh it looks like we're uh we're only heading in one direction, which is uh yeah, very exciting. So make sure you're on board with us, subscribe to us on YouTube, subscribe to us on your podcast channel, so that you don't miss out on the latest show, which at the moment is just a Wednesday from seven till nine on YouTube, and when we're live, we'll also go out on Instagram. Um we're gonna probably try TikTok next week. Because that opens up to a whole new world of people as well. Um but um when we're pre-recorded, which we tend to be alternate weeks at the moment, then you can just watch us on a premiere on YouTube, and then obviously whenever the show is finished, you can watch it back whenever you like. And if you are watching it, send me a picture, whether you're watching it on your phone or your TV. I do like it when people watch it on the tele. That's what I do. Once I've done the live show, I go and sit and uh watch it back. Um bits of it back. No radio presenter really likes listening or watching themselves back, but it's for uh improvement purposes. I look and see what we can change, what we can make better. Um and it's quite an experience. It's weird watching yourself on your own television. Anyway. Right, we're gonna head over to Colchester now and play you this track from Kinless, who's the artist formerly known as Philip Rodak, was nominated for the first time last year as an NMG award um nominated artist in the electronic and experimental category. And uh no doubt he'll be back in there again because that deadline is approaching soon. I'll tell you a bit more about that shortly. This is his latest offering under his new moniker. This is called Way Out, and it's by his new name, Kinless, K-I-N-L-I-S. Sounds very like Calvin Harris. I'm presuming that is Philip on the vocals and not a sample or something. Um so yeah, very similar to Calvin Harris. Like that a lot. Uh Kinless and Way Out, that track is available now. If you would like to submit your music to us and you are an artist, um whether that be in a band or a solo artist, a duo, a producer, um whatever really, as long as you make original music, then um we'd be happy to hear from you. You can email us, inbox at new musicgenerator.com. Um and you need to uh preferably please send your music as an MP3 or WAV file attachment to an email directly, include links to your social media and a biography. If you don't fit our geographical criteria, uh then unfortunately we won't be able to play you. Um please say where you're from in an email that does help when you're a new uh new artist, because then I just end up replying going, Hello, where are you from? And then you'll reply going, Oh, Manchester. Sorry. Not not the moment, maybe in the future. Not now. Um but if you say you're from Essex or Cambridge, then happy days. Or at least listen to your music. And you might well be featured on this programme, as I say, uh lots of things in the pipeline going forward, so um there'll be more feature opportunities, but at the moment it is just this little Wednesday night show on YouTube and on our podcast. But if you are featured on the programme before the end of May, uh then you stand a chance to be nominated for an NMG award. The NMG Awards are our annual music award ceremony that we hold at the Apex Embarrison Edmonds, and yes, despite things that have changed, they haven't changed, they'll still be going on. Uh unchanged from the date that we announced at the end of the event last year. Uh so the Apex Embarrass and Edmonds on uh a Friday night, I'm just trying to remind myself of the date because I'll end up getting it wrong. Um, it's the 11th of September this year. Friday, the 11th of September. Put it in your diary. Um so yeah, if you've been featured on the programme, whether it be under this guy's or the previous guys, since the last event, that's um September 2025 through to end of May 2026. And you could well find yourself included on the nominations list, which goes out in the summer. Um, then you'll be asked to participate if you would like to by sending a couple of tracks for our judges to listen to, and they will then come up with their um their winners and their prize winners, and we'll announce all the results at this uh ceremony on Friday, the eleventh of September at the Apex in Barrett Edmunds. So you must be uh from the areas that I have just mentioned, and have been featured on the program with at least one original music release since that time. Covers, I'm afraid, do not count, re-releases do not count, must be an original release that's been released in that time frame. And uh yeah, we look forward to hearing from you inbox at new musicgenerated.com. Now, in the last few weeks, we played you various tracks that have been lifted from Connor Adams' new EP, which is called Traffic Lights, and came out on Friday last week. So here's another track to be taken from it that we have not yet featured. This one has a music video for it, so if you are watching on YouTube, you can enjoy this. The video to Connor's new track this is slam the brakes.

SPEAKER_01

That is available as of today if you're watching this when it premieres 25th of March. That is my favourite track from the EP.

And it's called Mistakes, and the one before that we played was True Blue with a full EP from the Norwich Baseband is available for you to stream now. This is the latest release gold gets been raining.

SPEAKER_04

The secrets on the street they're not for me. I'm going home. It's been raining. It's been raining, but when summer comes, I know this land will dry bears of tomorrow. Just have my sorrow. No smile that I cannot treat, sir. No tear I cannot try. I got scary. I got so scary. But these things can't make a penny for a honey in this train that runs right through me. So yeah, yeah. It's been raining. It's been raining. It's been raining, but when summer comes, I know this land will drive days tomorrow. To stop my sorrow. No smile that I cannot return. No tear I cannot try. No tear I cannot try.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Lost Robbins played a couple of tracks from that. On the show over the last few months, it's called It's Been Raining, not something we really want to be dwelling on and encouraging. Uh but the track is available now. You're watching and listening to the new music generator. We are just about 40 minutes through the programming. On a Wednesday night, or whenever you're going to have to give another play, the new single from the Twitter. If you like the Detour, want to get in touch with us. Didn't know who they were a few months ago. They got in touch, sent their music in. Inbox at newmusicgenerator.com is the email address. If you are a band. Solo artist, producer, whatever it may be, if you make original music and you are from East Anglia, get in touch with us. We'd always be happy to hear from you. Now, last week on the show we had studio guest in Dan Sutton. It was the day before his birthday, and we had a really interesting interview, I felt. So we're going to play you a bit of that interview where Dan talks about uh his guitar teacher, although Dan now primarily uh specialises in the piano. Um we uh also had him play live and we'll play a track from him performing live from last week in just a moment as well. Next week on the show we'll be joined by uh Jess Davy and Dick Cunningham, otherwise known as Jess and Deck, uh that'll be in the studio and we're gonna play you their new single in a little while as well. So let's transport back in our time machine to uh last week, last Wednesday, when we were joined in the studio by Dan Sun. Talk to me about your interest in music and when when did it get started? What did you put it down to?

SPEAKER_12

I don't really remember when the music like got me like my whole life. Um every car ride, you know, everything and uh I remember anything between that was the very first thing I remember hearing. Um my parents raised me on music every car ride. I loved it. Um I I I wanted to be a guitar and then I got a guitar one with seven lessons with uh Edge and the guitar teacher.

SPEAKER_01

Uh the guitar teacher's name.

SPEAKER_12

Uh Keith. I can't remember his turn, but Keith.

SPEAKER_01

Um don't know Keith, I don't know Billy.

SPEAKER_12

Uh yeah, that's that's my funny.

SPEAKER_01

So when he was your guitar did you did is that the reason why he was your guitar teacher?

SPEAKER_12

No, he was just a school guitar teacher.

SPEAKER_01

Oh I see. Oh you were Ed Sheeran's guitar teacher that he's gonna have a yeah, no, okay.

SPEAKER_12

Uh I don't think Ed Sheeran existed yet. Uh well not when you were seven. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know, when would that have been?

SPEAKER_12

So I'm trying to think about that.

SPEAKER_01

Ed Sheeran, how old is Ed Sheeran, like mid thirties? Early thirties?

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, it would have been 2012, I think. Okay, just died out of business and stuff. Um but yeah, no, so then I eventually ditched a guitar for piano when I saw Rocket Man come out. Ditched a guitar after Ed Sheeran's guitar teacher taught you how to play. He didn't do very well. I've never gotten very good at guitar, but piano, um Rocket Man came out, Alan John's yeah. And um that was my first time it being introduced to Alan John. I fell in love with him instantly. He was fabulous, I loved him. Um and so I started playing piano because I wanted to be like him and um locked down here and that gave me a lot of time uh to practice. Uh so I played like four hours a day every day. Playing piano uh improvising and stuff. Uh and yeah, then this all died. Great.

SPEAKER_01

It must have been quite relatively late to the piano in terms of eight, because the Rocket Man was came out, was that twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Uh yeah, so I would have been fourteen fifteen, yeah. So I w I was very late to you didn't know anything about Elton John by that point.

SPEAKER_01

I know, I know. I don't know. I don't know how I got exactly around Elton John the first time, but I mean I I remember Elton John.

SPEAKER_12

I don't know how I got through that that long without knowing a lot of things. I do, because I now have his entire catalogue, I've got his a record collection of uh his songs, I'm obsessed with uh I've listened to his audiobook uh about his life twice. You've got to you've gotta learn from the uh from the great. I watch a lot of the videos on the players playing them look so cool. I wouldn't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe when maybe when you're ready, you can afford another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12

No, it's very good, very cool.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, exactly. We've already established that it makes you sure.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah. I'm a little bit lower.

SPEAKER_01

So Ellen John is an implement.

SPEAKER_12

Uh I can see that. Um being a monkey element of the comedy. Um yeah, can mention uh massive uh my writing process I tried to be uh you know funny like that. Um weirdly with MM for the MM for the Lord. I died right now. And then look back at the very first few things I wrote weird and that I thought terrible that I just had the wrong melody for them. Uh and I go, I don't know. That's a dancer and it has a lot of the same hands and uh ways that I phrase things in that.

SPEAKER_18

Who swept me off my feet? She talked so long and talked so fast, I couldn't even speak. I should have split right then. Turn and walked away Just one night but three weeks on I'm still coming back again. She's a walking red flag, baby. She makes me color blind. Might have tried to run for my life, but my life didn't touch his eyes. Maybe a red flag, baby, but that's just fine by me. Cause every colour looks the same with a face full of double D s I should have known from the start that something wasn't right. She thinks that balls of gas on fire in the sky control her lives. She's a walking red flag. I must admit that's close. Cause she's talk so much about her ex. I began to miss him too. She's a walking red flag, baby. She makes me color blind. Might have tried to run for my life, but my love didn't touch the sights. Maybe a red flag, baby, but that's just fine by me. Cause every colour looks the same with a face full of double tears Like a red rag to a bow. She's a red flag to a fool. And I try hard not to fool. But my face just hit the floor, and I'm begging for more. Give me more She's a walking red flag, baby. She makes me color blind. Might have tried to run for my life, but my love didn't touch the sights. Maybe a red flag, baby, but that's just fine by me. Cause every colour, every colour, it all just looks the goddamn same to me. She's a walking red flag, baby. She makes me color blind. Might have tried to run for my life, but my love didn't touch a sight. Maybe a red flag, baby, but that's just fine by me. Cause every colour looks the same with a face full of double D.

SPEAKER_01

Dan Sutton there from our show last week. If you missed any of that, you can find the full session. He did a couple of songs and the full interview as well. That's on our YouTube channel. There's some shorts. Well, not actually shorts, because the videos are too long to be shorts officially, according to YouTube. But that's that's my problem, not yours. Um, but there are some smaller clips that you can find on our Instagram and YouTube as well of just the uh the highlights I would consider of the interview. Uh Dan Sutton there. Right, so let's move on with a track from next week's studio guests. This is Jess and Deck, uh, who have uh got their new single coming out very soon. It's called Yours in the Music. Let's listen to it. I'll tell you a bit more after we've heard it.

SPEAKER_02

One, two, three, four. I was the five, it's fine, but it's not easy, I was the one thing that's five.

SPEAKER_01

Now they are primarily a uh a live uh band and do a lot of covers with their set, but they are weaving in some original music as well. Uh Dek um I was gonna say formally, I don't really want to put the final lail in the Fuse coffin, but pfft he's in Fuse. Uh and Jess Davy, as we know, from a solo artist, and she's now graduated to performing with her band who are made up of Dek and also Tom at Fuse. And um that's where the uh the original music vehicle has been, but now they've released some stuff or a track under the Jess and Deck uh name. Um I don't think I've really appreciated Dek's voice before, and not really one to have lead vocals in Fuse. I've seen them play live a few times, um but yeah, love the voice on the uh on the recording. A bit of Brian Adams-esque, actually. Um so that's their first single. It's out on the 3rd of April, that is Good Friday, a week on Friday. It's 6 pm on all the streaming platforms. It's the first song that they ever wrote together. They started writing this song a few months into having got together after years of being best friends and playing music together, which is how they first even became friends at the young age, the tender age of 17. It's unbelievably special to us, and we can't wait to share it with you. And they'll be in the studio to tell us more about that next week and play it live, no doubt, as well, which is all very exciting.

SPEAKER_20

You're watching the new music generator live with Tim Willis.

SPEAKER_01

If you want to send your music to us, as I've already said, you can get in touch with us on email. It's inbox at new musicgenerator.com, and that is what If not now have done, sending in their latest track, which is called Every Time. Um This is um a Essex-based female fronted rock band. Their music explores parenthood, sadness, fury, and escapism, blending everyday struggles and emotions into introspective, angst-ridden, alternative rock. And they started the email by a song for your consideration. Thanks. Love your work. As I always say, a compliment always helps things get along that little bit better. Uh so over to Essex now for this track for uh if not now. Uh, this track is called Every Time.

SPEAKER_17

Walk across the field, take the line that you desire And then you walk right in and add more fuel to the fire.

SPEAKER_04

Don't stop and stop and stop There we go.

SPEAKER_01

That is a brand new band to us, and they are from Essex. They are called If Not Now, and the track is called Every Time. Thanks to Rob for getting in touch and sending that track through. They're if notnow.band on Instagram. If you want to go and find more about them, thank you for getting in touch. Right, let's keep the new music. Roll in now with this next track, which is Lost Without Cause. I'll go back to my emails and tell you about Lost Without Cause because they got in touch with us originally on Facebook, which you can do so we are on Facebook at New Music Generator. They're a three-piece alternative rock band from where they describe as the southeast of England. I don't know if I actually managed to narrow them down any further than that. Um with a passion for creating unique memorable anthems across the genre. Blasting hooks and launching catchy UMs that will stick with you all day whilst on stage they deliver an adrenaline field performance you'll never forget. They previously supported Don Broco, uh Kitty Glass Houses, David Version from In Me, China Drum, and many more. They played two shows at major UK venues, including the Garriage and um Hyper and London Story 2 and the Camden Butterfly. And they have over 250,000 combined views on YouTube, and a new EP coming out in Q1 2026 as well. That must mean the EP is out very soon. And no doubt this track called I know is gonna be appearing on it. So let's have a listen. This is lost without cause, and I know. From Lost Without Cause, thank you to Simon from the band for sending that track through over on Facebook. I don't actually know where they're from specifically. Apparently, we have played them on the program before. Uh oh, here we go. If I look on their Facebook page, I'll find the answer. St Albans. Okay, nice. Uh St Albans is in Hertfordshire. Lovely. Alright, we have got around the uh eastern region today, uh playing various tracks from where do we start off with Suffolk After Drive, Cambridgeshire Tater Maid, Essex Kinless, Suffolk Conor Adams, Norfolk Language, Cambridge Robin. Just an Essex and Hartford. Good job, we're not actually driving around to all of these places in the current natural price situation, or I think we'd be bankrupt by now. Let's continue with the new music. Uh uh another reminder if you are watching on YouTube tonight, please give us a subscribe. If we get two hundred subscribers by the end of the week, that would be a very nice indeed. Um we've only been doing this for um what is it? Three live shows now, I think. Three recording shows in six weeks. Um, which is called anything in the bathroom mirror. They are from Cambridge and the third single from the band. They can find elementary with the late 70s on to create a fresh sound. Inspired by the doors, the beetles, joy division, arts and monkeys, and the powerhouse. Streaming everywhere now, including Spotify, and you can find more about the band at the electric eyes on Instagram. That's what we like. A nice concise biography. Thank you, Connor from The Electric Eyes, and here's your track. Uh it's called Dancing in the Bathroom Mirror.

SPEAKER_21

It's taking up all my love. Now I can see the waves on the board, and I'll be time to waste, but it's taking up all my same. I spent my life dreaming through the day. And the world's a sigh, but you get so high.

SPEAKER_01

The bathroom, sorry, not my bathroom, the bathroom. By the electric eyes, the track is available now. You're watching and listening to the new music generator on a podcast on Nogs Radio UK and streaming live via YouTube. And next week, hopefully, also TikTok. Delve into the world of TikTok and scares me slightly, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Right, next up is new music from Tom Harbour, who we have played on the show before, and is good friends with Myopia. This is called Fly Swater. And it was originally written as an acoustic pop song with a more country vibe, all about friendship, young love, and how it feels to grow up and experience that first bit of freedom. After meeting friend and producer Ollie Edgington, the song took a turn when he called one day after playing around with it in his studio. He helped create a much heavier sound for the track, frantically called one day to say he had redone Fly Swater in a radio heads the Benz style, which is what you hear now. Of course, the original explicit chorus contains a word we thought might not be radio friendly, so we went uh thought through a list of words that would be funny to use instead, hence your dad. Okay, so when it says your dad, then it means something else. With a bittersweet change of reminiscence of coming of age, the indie uh of a coming-of-age indie flick, sorry, uh screw it. All to hell attitude, later single flights what represents an oat of friendship, young love, going on road trips together and finding the first taste of freedom. An early 2010s indie feel good perfect with a summer drive vibe and radiohead to the bend, and a latest style paired with lyrics inspired heavily by Paul's Jarvis Cocker, the track sets the tone for a brand new, much heavier and more emotional than ever, Tom Harbour. This is Tom from Essex and his new track, Glycewater. It's a very good producer indeed. Alright, it's time to go back to the NMG Awards 2025 now. Um most weeks, so the next few weeks we're gonna take the opportunity to look in our back catalogue of footage from the NMG Awards and play you some of the live sets that we had on the stage. Kind of building up setting the scene for the 2026 awards, which will be on September the 11th. Ross Stewart and his band took to the stage to play the second uh start the second half of the uh event with their live session that you can see if you're on YouTube and listen to if you are on the podcast.

SPEAKER_13

Was it the punchline of some sadistic joke?

SPEAKER_04

I got to have a tuck off the same.

SPEAKER_13

Every day we go all feels like a bag shot. How to find love whether it's a living conversation that ain't attachment to my desperation?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know what it is, but you're about to know that.

SPEAKER_13

I remember.

SPEAKER_04

I could teach that I could pause put a mask on all my boss. I could teach that I could close I remember who I was only singing that because I remember who I don't know if I just got it.

SPEAKER_13

Things don't always go to plan, but that's what makes me who I am.

SPEAKER_04

Who I am who I am who I am But is it a form from gray? Is it just getting older? I lose myself in all of the space I'm drowning.

SPEAKER_15

So, first of all, just thank you so much for being here. Thank you for being a bit honored and given the opportunity to play alongside such talented artists and such beautiful people. I'm so happy to be here. I think I should just get on with it. But this song is called Purpose. I released this with my first DP a few weeks ago. And uh as part of this song, I wanted to really foster a community much like Tim and the rest of the music and educator do with these knights. It's so lovely to see so many of you. So I asked about as many people as I could remember, which ended up being about 200 people to be part of a choir for this song. And I know for a fact that quite a lot of you are in the room with us. So when we get to that point, I would like to teach you all the chorus and I would like to sing together. Is that okay? This is perfect.

SPEAKER_13

It feels like days have gone by and the pen never touches the pain. Maybe allow never be the bartender, or at least all I can do is roll a plate or a glass, and all I can go to my feet and watch my time go past without a perhaps. I can tell myself how much better life would be. If I could just sound her shift around, swiftly, there's not enough room left for trying to be a sinner when I spend all of my time running around thinking And this same sanity repeating yourself And hoping for a new kind Without a purpose I'm falling apart Without a purpose I must fall in sky Without a purpose I break my own heart am I insane? Just too weak to change Already when did I have lines upon my face?

SPEAKER_15

I feel abandoned in the shadows of his grace. I'm not clean, I am dirty when I'm awake in 230. Feeding myself things that I know are gonna hurt me, and I punish myself just to know how it feels.

SPEAKER_13

Speak from experience and to figure out what's real. So do I let do I know? Just burn away slow.

SPEAKER_04

Or do I break down the time and let all that I am come running through my hands? Without a purpose, I'm for me apart. Without a purpose, I'm almost from the style. Without a purpose, I break my own heart. I can save just too weak to change. Repeating yourself, who pain for a new I run away from being you, and I act so confused with nothing I want to get started, that I'm not insane Without a purpose I'm for the enemy Without a purpose, I was from the sky, without a purpose, I break my own heart, I might say Without a purpose for the God Without the Sand was from the sky, without a purpose, I break my own heart, I might sing.

SPEAKER_15

Enjoy the rest of your evening. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

That was a lovely throwback to 2025's NMG Awards, Ross Stewart. Three songs playing live at the awards. And uh yeah, this year, 11th of September, 2026, more details coming up in uh well, over the summer, really. Haven't started working on it yet, if I'm honest with you. Got more uh more pressing things to be working on right now, but um it will it will fall into place, no doubt. Right, let's go back to the new music for this week's tracks that have been dropping into the inbox. This one literally dropped into the inbox uh whilst I was recording the show. Uh it comes from Frank um and Nori and Reuben. They are otherwise known as the Inquiries. Um Frank is on guitar and vocals, Nori is from bass and vocals, and Ruben is from drums. The band are from Essex. Uh that is all I know about the track. So let's play it, shall we? This is the Inquiries. It's called Funny. And it's by the Inquiries, who are a brand new band on our radar. They are from Essex, and I believe that that track is available now to go and stream. And if you like the inquiries, are a band, solo artist producer from East Anglia, and you want to get in touch, inbox at newmusicgenerator.com, and we'd be happy to feature you. I like that track. Alright, uh, this next track is the new one from Ollie Bruce. He says, Hope you're doing well. I'm delighted to hear that Energy is still going strong and thriving on its new channel. Thank you, Ollie. Thanks for all your support of my music last year. I'm delighted to announce that my new track, Castle in the Sky, is out on the 3rd of April. Ollie Bruce is an indie pop artist based near Peterborough, who specializes playing upbeat songs with addictive melodies with his unique voice, creating lullaby-inspired sounds and lyrics. Now with the formation of his band, he's bringing a new level and sound to his music to enhance the immersive feel further for listeners. Last year, Ollie released his debut album, Figuring It Out, which has received over 70,000 plays to date. Castle in the Sky is a soft rock ballad about society and how some people go through life with no struggles, whereas others suffer from day to day. The song contains soft folky inspired vocals with a rocky feel from the half-open chords on the guitar to Ollie's first track of the new year and his softest yet. He's playing at the new HMV store in Peterborough on the 11th of April. He's in Cambridge at the Portland Arms supporting Dan Thomas on the 30th of April, and he's at Peterborough Celebrates Festival on the 16th of May. So this is Castle in the Sky, not Castles in the Sky, like the dance song from the early noughties. It's not a cover, I don't think, anyway, by Ollie Bruce.

SPEAKER_04

Never break the mouth, never break the mouth. Hid behind the sun, there ain't a stretch of your flock riding high in your castle in the sky. You always end out a near drug, duck me into risk and love. I wish that life was a straight line, no flat and my mind, not coming unstuck. No way your concrete walls in must be dough, hit behind the sun, there rain a stretch on your foot right in high in your castle in the sky. Stop trying to high lower your concrete walls. Stop trying to hide oh, please, stop trying to hide in your castle in the sky.

SPEAKER_01

Oh tell me why there's a castle in the sky. Sorry, wrong song. That's Ollie Bruce and Castle in the Sky, and that is his new track, Ollie from Peterborough. Here comes another email from David, a musician from Colchester, who plays under the name of the Brothers El Camino. I have a new record out attached as the single. It's called The Kid Who Killed Casino. So the Brothers El Camino are one man or one man that leads it anyway. This track is available now to stream. Have a listen. It would help if I queued it up first, wouldn't it? Oh, that was such a slick move. Uh da da da. Have a listen.

We've got ten minutes left of the show, a couple more tracks to play you. Before we go, we do have time to fit in this track, which is from um Name Loading, a uh Barrison Evans producer who has sent in a radio edit of his first single release in 2026. He says by the time you play it, I believe it'll already be out on Spotify, Bandcamp, and other major platforms. So I'm gonna guess that it is available now. This is name loading and systematic one. And that concludes the programme for this week. Thank you for listening, thank you for watching. I'll be back again uh at the same time next week, live on YouTube on Wednesday night with guests Jess and Deck in the studio.
