SPEAKER_31

I had a riff for the great line. Shada feel us at the wayside. Any minute I can break up and we've been never decided if it's better to be bad, we buried alive. Take it for the treasure here, daddy decide to lie, bye, bye.

SPEAKER_26

Yeah, you gotta give it to get it. I'm about to get some. They all just wanna be legends. I've never met one. Call me a kid if you're rich and prestigious fists up. This ain't a dance, it's a sticker.

SPEAKER_14

I've got my way, and you go to wait to see the Crogulato. I've got my way, and you got your plan.

SPEAKER_15

But I don't wait to see the Krogulas go to every man.

SPEAKER_26

Yeah, it's never enough. We got it in common. Poor shot in the cup to know what's been haunted. If I ever get up, go get the heads haunted. You can't rise without the risk, dummies. They tell me I should give it up, but I cannot. They wanna strip away the morals when I stand on it. They only focus on the bank as a brain ride. And by the time the mind change, I'll be wake on. But there's some days they can cut me down and wear me out. And even make a burden from a case talent. They'll wait till I hit the ground or call for help. I don't wait around for it to happen. I would make them feel validated if I never made it the way they gave up on passion to trade it off for a credit statement. I'll wait in my broken body, rebuilt from the bloody pavement. And when you see me next, I'll be awake.

SPEAKER_14

I've got my way, and you've got job players. But I don't wait to see the Cobo Light Lord in the man.

I got my way, and you've got to play. But I don't wait to see the Cobble Light Lord in Legend Man, I'm seeing it. I can take it to God.

SPEAKER_12

And I can't kill the concrete Joe Tyrone and Storyteller, that is Ordinary Man, and this is the new music generator. Hello, you're most welcome to the next two hours of unsigned music from emerging artists from across East Anglia. Uh my name is Tim Miller. I will be your host for the next couple of hours. And on today's programme, we will be looking at the latest submissions from the uh NMG inbox, as we always do, and thank you for sending those through. There's some new artists in there for us to meet once again this week. Then in about half an hour's time, I'll be in conversation with singer-songwriter Nick Mobin. Uh Nick is uh Norwich-based and will be performing a headline show in The Fine City this weekend. He'll tell us more about that gig and a live session or a live track that Nick recorded for us as well. We'll play that out for you in a little while. And then in the second hour of the show, we're kind of gonna do a little bit of a look back at some of the things we've done on the program since we uh we came on in February, uh, particularly on to YouTube. So we're gonna bring you some best of live sessions from the studio. Uh we've also got a look back at an NMG award set from 2025 and a few other bits and pieces to look back as we can. Um because we got all this afterhand. Why not? Uh if you want to get in touch with the program, you are most welcome to do so. It is invoice atnemusicgenerator.com. That is the email address. You can use it to get in touch with us at any time as well. Let's continue with a track from last week's show that is being released this Saturday to coincide with a live session or a live gig, I should say, that this band are doing at Bitch Bash Festival in Hertfordshire. This is COMRA, the band uh solo project of Connor Andrews. This is 1953.

SPEAKER_27

Both feet move forwards, heading in the right direction Finding love under the cover. There's lust in the eyes Yes, it's invite fortune Left still wondering why you wanna know my name.

SPEAKER_04

I want you to get away, you hold my way to the same thing.

SPEAKER_12

From Conra, aka Connor Andrews. Uh Connor, as I say, is playing at Bishbash Festival in Bishop Storford this weekend. Check out his social media for more information on the timings on that. Conra C-O-N-R-A. Connor got in touch with the program because he is an artist from our coverage area, that is East Anglia. Uh he sent us an MP30 way format track of his um uh new release, he sent us a bio, and he sent us links to his social media. Those are what you need to do if you want to get in touch with us. You're more than welcome, whether you've been featured on the program before um with the same project, or um you've moved on to a different project, or you've never sent anything into us before, you are more than welcome to get in touch here with the details.

SPEAKER_28

To submit your music to the show, email an MP3 or web file to inbox at new musicgenerator.com, ensuring you include a short biography and links to your social media.

SPEAKER_25

All submissions from within our coverage area in East Anglia will be considered for airplay.

SPEAKER_12

Now I just mentioned you might have a new project, you might have been familiar with us from previous projects, and you might have a new one. That is the case with this first new track from the inbox for this week. This is The Thieving Dead, who are Alex White, uh formerly of Elephant Takedown and Micro Raptor, and Will Johnson, formerly of Vicious and Mauritius. Well, we didn't feature anything from Vicious and Mauritius on the show in the past, but we have featured Elephant Takedown and Microraptor in the past. So welcome back to the show to Alex anyway. Um we're the thieving dead, and you have no idea how long it took us to crawl out of those graves on Newmarket Road in Cambridge, they say. If the Monster Mash and the Lost Boys existed on the same scale, we'd exist exactly halfway between the two. We've got songs about hair gel for werewolves, sunburned zombies, and vampires having existential crisis. Does that make us death metal technically? This is the Thieving Dead and Grave Wagner.

SPEAKER_04

Rock up to the far shades in the dark. The sun goes down as undead rise. Put the rain back into the graveyard because they party hard. Just through the nine, it is best. The wolf starts in jacket whip fest. All eyes on him, he's the leader of the back. His base hit back with the brain flex.

SPEAKER_02

Take him from critter to barrow Rave White skills 24 hour hold to be tested, of which white skills have infected, an act of ingredients, a fruit by four Yeah, just gorgeous I'll be on pressing.

SPEAKER_12

That's the Thieving Dead in Gravewax, a new project from Cambridgeshire, and we look forward to hearing more from their album that they were telling us for their EP that's coming out soon called Moon Lighting. They got in touch with us by inbox at new musicgenerator.com, and that is exactly how this next band also got in touch with us. This is Crazy Carroll from the Created Hive. Hello, please consider our new song for your show. It is the title song of our new EP. It's called Crash and is now available on those streaming platforms. We manifested early in 2025 releasing Goldie Holding. In addition to the release mentioned, we have a single eight one eight. Another brand new band to the playlist. Let's have a listen to this track then. This is Cryptid Hive, C-R-Y-P-T-I-D, Hive as in a beehive, and crash. A T, a the uh or a T, T and H or an E. Uh that is out now. It is called Crash, and they are from Suffolk. Uh in a few moments' time we'll be uh lowering the tempo a little bit and playing you some uh new uh uh music from singer songwriters like uh Isla May and Tampa Lily and also hearing from Nick Mobin. Uh we'll keep this kind of theme going with this next band who are called down another anyway. They make heartbreak sound cathartic and love to feel dangerous again.

SPEAKER_05

Called Think of You All Day Heartbreaker I could confuse so take up Don't go my way Never Rainmaker Like the words you never said Chain smoke up inside my head Sometimes I can think of you all day what I think I just want to dump you Late evening Shadows on the wall still dreaming Before the fall Love lingers in the corners of my mind Game over Hip post wine Sometimes I could think of you all day Sometimes I could think we could be all day Heartbreaker I could think of you all taste or taken. Don't go my way. Stop.

SPEAKER_12

Music to the new music generator playlist that comes from the wonderfully titled Monkey Foot Down, and the track is called Think of You All Day. We have already played you music from artists from Cambridgeshire, from Hertfordshire, from Essex, from Suffolk, and we are about to uh well continue to go around the counties as we do. We feature music from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and from Cambridgeshire. This next track is from the band Ocean Vane, who we have played on the programme before. Um were submitted to us originally back in April by a young man called Lucas, um, and we were recommended to Lucas and Ocean Vane by Myopia, who we will hear from later on in one of our look back studio sessions. We're going to play you the acoustic um track that uh they did for us on the show way back in February. Anyway, we played you a uh track from Ocean Vane called Falling, which at the time back in April was their most uh recently released track, or they've been back in touch uh with this new track, which is called Landmine. It was released last week at the end of last week, so it is available for you to go and stream now. And not only have they sent us the track, but they've also sent us the video. So if you are watching us on YouTube, you'll be able to enjoy the video version of this. This is Ocean Vane and Landfall. Unmute it. This is Ocean Vane and Landfall. Alright, as promised, we're going to lower the tempo slightly now and play you a couple of new tracks from singer-songwriters. This is Tabitha Lilly, who's a local indie folk singer-songwriter based in Hertfordshire. She recently released her debut single called Mine. She is an indie folk acoustic singer-songwriter who uh is self-taught on guitar. She began writing songs at the age of 15, crafting intimate stories about grief, love, and heartbreak through a solistic acoustic sound. Now she's 22. She's played countless weddings, pubs, restaurants, and venues across the UK, including Pizza Express Live. Her sound is rooted in honest storytelling, songwriting, combining intimate lyrics with a raw acoustic-driven sound. Another new artist to the playlist. This is Tabitha Lily and mine.

SPEAKER_14

And I wish the way could go back in time. And maybe you take it as a side sign that you instill there.

SPEAKER_12

And the track is called Mine. The last track from the inbox for this week comes from Isla May, who is gonna be on the show in this studio next week. Very much looking forward to catching up with Isla. I haven't seen her for a while. Um and she's been studying at Leeds Conservatoire. She's just finished the first year. She's back in Cambridge for the summer, so she's gonna come in next week and play live for us. She is also releasing this new single called Round and Round, which was released at the end of last week. This largely self-recorded and produced track explores the idea that some couples can't help but keep getting back together, and takes inspiration from artists such as Ray and Olivia Dean in combining multiple music genres, including pop, folk, indie, jazz, soul, and R and B. It draws more on my observation than personal experience, she says, and therefore ties into the fictional concept of my first DP, dancing under a pseudonym. She says, Thanks to Elliot Porter. She'll be playing Folk and the Roses at Smoke and Roses Vintage and Vinyl Shop in Saffron Malden on the twenty-fourth of July, alongside uh Phoebe Austin. And the tickets are available should you wish to go and get them. Well, Phoebe will be on. Um not Phoebe, Isla will be on to tell us more about that. Phoebe's not coming in. Uh next week on the show, we look forward to that. Isla is 19 years old and uh yeah, is one of those artists, a bit like Gabby Rivers. If you listen to the behind the music show with um Alex on Sunday, uh that we put out on our YouTube channel, um, a bit like Gabby Rivers in the sense that she's been an artist that's been on our radar and on our playlist for a number of years, but from a very young age. Um and um still is uh hideously young. Um but um not quite as young as she uh she was when she was first introduced to us. Anyway, Isla in the studio next week. This is new from her called Random Round.

SPEAKER_09

We swear together again. We swore, we swear to try to pretend everybody else. It's some kind of a love. We sit in the night, sure you love seeing the dog, but never walk it out of it, never give it in the corner. We get hard in our hatred every stay. We do this every day. I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna give in to the fear. But you hear me in my arms, and I honour that it's pretty clear. Stop what you're doing and make me feel good. Live in a world when I'm understood. Love me, you know that nobody could. You said that we wouldn't, we knew that we would put her in first number one, and then it all is done, it's done. It's um board the party dance, but we know that we'll just go round and around again. Round around, run around, round around again. Round around, run and round, round around again, round around, round around, round around again. God, I hate you so much, but you just from my cup. You wanna talk about love, but I don't think we know anything. We got in that topic, but I'm stalk like I'm sad inside your very soul. We're a child that never runs. We do this every year. Think I want you again on the winds are characteristic. I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna give in to the fear. But you're here in my arms, and I know now that it's pretty clear Stop what you're doing and make me feel good. Live in a world I don't understand. Love me, nobody. We said that we would and we knew that we would. Put her in front, I'm stone number one, and then it all is done, is done. Some woman's over the audience, but we know that we'll just go around and around again. Round and round, round and round, round and round again. Round around, round around, run around again. Round and round, round around, run and round again. Stop, why you doin' it? Don't stop, why do you doin' it? Oh stop, why do you doin' it? Oh stop, what are you doing it? Oh stop, what you doing it? Oh stop, why are you doing it? Oh stop, what are you doing it? Oh stop, stop, stop, stop what you're doing and make me feel good. Live in a world when I understood. We knew that we would. Put her in first, I'm still number one. And then in all what is done, is done. At some point it's all with a party it ends. But we know that we'll just go round and around again.

SPEAKER_12

I'm sure we'll hear a live version of that on the show next week. Island May and Round and Round, that is available for you right now. Alright, uh, last week I caught up with singer-songwriter Nick Mobin. Uh, he is playing a headline show at Voodoo Daddy's Showroom in Norwich this weekend. He'll tell us more about that and about performing live in general. And he also recorded a live track for us at home as well. So you're gonna hear both of those, the interview and the live track. But before that, this is a collaboration between Nick and Mae Gabriels, who's one of the acts who's supporting on the show this weekend. This is Want Me.

SPEAKER_13

Try to be the one, but I lost you. I can't be the one and I'm falling apart. You say it's my light, you say it's fine, bro. Don't call me at midnight. You think it's my fault? Treating you and me like it's a battle. I don't mind if I'm not right. I don't mind, I'll be just fine. Thought I knew what I was chasing. But I don't even know if you say you want me, play red. Do you want me? I've been shaking with me on you. Do it. Play with my soul eye. Check me with you.

SPEAKER_30

Oh don't waste the time I knew nothing about you sitting in your car with my car down. Then I finally found truth. Go start, go stall. Funny how I didn't do stick around, even if you know how you moved on before you'd even go.

SPEAKER_13

But I don't even know you. I've been thinking maybe are you doing this? Play with my son die. Check me with you like oh wasting time.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, we're recording this as well. Uh it doesn't actually matter to me doing this disclaimer, because I think it's gonna be hot for the next like three months or something. Um but we're recording this on a hot day uh when it's Friday today, so it's um it's kind of middle of the afternoon, didn't really think that through, but never mind. Um nice to uh speak to you and have you on the show. We haven't played anything from you for a little while, you've been a little bit quiet as far as uh releases go, but the reason why we've got you on is because you've got a headline show coming up uh on Friday at Voodoo Daddy's. But before we get to that, let's just tell people a little bit about you for people who don't know you. Um single songwriter, uh based in Norwich, um influenced by who your influences at the moment.

SPEAKER_01

Um I think originally like James Arthur and British Singer Songwriter. Um now I pretty much listen to anything and everything. Um that kind of uh sound, and I think that's probably where my sound is currently sitting. Um looking more okay, single songwriter.

SPEAKER_12

Um a few months ago um when I saw you that your your sound yeah was kind of changing a little bit, evolving a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think I tried to uh which I think I'd like it to be. I think I think at the moment it is um obviously I've got a show coming up and um I kinda my favourite thing is to pick up my guitar in the evening and have a sing. Um it might not be my housemate's favourite but yeah, neither. I think yeah, i i i if things go in my way it's a daily thing and I it's it's what I love doing. So yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

So you've um you've not been too busy in terms of releasing stuff lately, but you have been working towards this live gig that we mentioned that's coming up on Friday. You're playing at Voodoo Daddy's showroom in Norwich. You are the headline act, you have uh a couple of um support acts with you. Um the last time you played at Voodoo's, if I'm right in saying, was when you supported History and Law earlier on this year.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's right. Um that was in April, so three months. And how did that go? Um yeah, pretty well. Um as you know, and um as most people in my life know, I I get quite stressed out by um performing live. Um but I think that was a show that I really enjoyed. Um I think maybe because Who Do Daddies is a bit of a known quantity to me now. And playing it was a super lovely receptive audience, like it can be quite tricky supporting artists sometimes and I haven't had too many opportunities to do so, but that was such a lovely uh room of people. So yeah, I think pretty well. I mean, I w yeah, I still had nerves, but of course.

SPEAKER_12

So we all you might I you'd be concerned if you didn't have any nerves at all. You need you need some nerves. It's interesting that you you mentioned there about it being maybe an environment that you're that you're comfortable with, and I guess if you're not confident necessarily in performing itself, then at least being in an environment maybe surrounded by some people that you know or um familiar to you at least helps you um be comfortable to a certain extent, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, a hundred percent. Um and so I think for me uh you know, I'm a pretty small artist. Most people listening at the moment probably don't know who I am, so to to do a headline show I feel like it's quite a big thing, maybe, and um I I think I um I think Vuodoo Daddy's is a perfect place 'cause I've played there the most by quite some distance in terms of my gigs. Um and yeah, I I I love it.

SPEAKER_12

It's um it's a great venue and one that I go to a lot even just watching yeah artists I know and that you play on here, so um I think you should be proud of yourself that you're putting yourself forward for this for this position because you say headline gig, it's your name above the door. Um you can put some support acts on with you um to kind of share the uh share the stage with, but ultimately it's it's it's your name there, and that's and that's quite a big thing. And as I said um and as you touched on, uh performing live isn't isn't an easy thing. It's but it's it's quite interesting as a um as a musician. Um some musicians absolutely love being up on the stage and that's their their favourite thing that they can do. There's an element of um I guess showing off and and you know demonstrating what they can do. Whereas other musicians like yourself are are much more uh shy, reserved, um, and would be much happier sitting in their room just playing guitar, even to a camera or you know, to recording to TikTok or something, rather than actually in a in a room in a room full of people. And I I think that those two different sort of psychological um impact uh looking at those you know two pe two sort of sides of things in terms of being a a performer is is quite interesting. Um and you're definitely in the in the in the latter cam. I was um gonna say that I didn't see you play live, but when I was editing the footage of when you played at the NMG Presents gig for for Rebecca, which I think was probably two years ago um now or nearly nearly two years ago. Yeah, March last year. Oh was it last year? Okay, it was last year. And you said on stage, you know, this this is one of the first kind of gigs that I've done, and and and you you you sounded like you were nervous, but also very endearing and um you know you kind of made the audience kind of wanna wanna give you a hug. It was it was very cute. Um I think I needed one. You are I think I needed one. But you have to kind of it's weird, isn't it? You guess you have to have to put yourself in that position. If you wanna get people to hear your music, then you you kind of have to play play live and put yourself in that uncomfortable position. But then I also guess afterwards and after you've done it, do you feel a great sense of achievement?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's a really weird thing and something I've sort of grappled with probably in the last year because I've had quite a few gigs where I felt like that, and that was definitely one of the more uh intense ones. But sometimes I step away and I I I have honestly thought like w why am I doing this if it makes me feel so incredibly anxious, and you know, sometimes that is a good thing, and I'd I'd do it anyway, and it goes better than I thought, and that's a really positive thing, and obviously like I hope that's the case this time, and uh I'm I'm confident it will be. Um, but equally like sometimes I've I've stepped off stage and I've I've I've thought like I don't know why I I'm I put myself through this kind of thing, um which has maybe quite strong to say, but I I think ultimately I do want my music heard, you know, sort of like everyone that I played on here, like we all want our heart being shared you know, with the world. Um and yeah, it's just I d I think I do want that regardless of whether it scares me of stepping on a stage in front of you know, fifty people, a hundred people, like yeah, it's um I think deep down we'll want that, but it's you know, some people sort of just uh assured, I think, when it when it comes to to stepping on the stage. But yeah, it's um I'm getting better. I think it's one of those things it's just uh exposure, you just gotta keep moving the muscle performing and you know, going to open mics and playing shows and getting support slots, all of that kind of stuff, I think.

SPEAKER_12

Exactly, and the more you do it the more you'll get used to doing it. And the other thing is, I guess, with with some performers is they can become almost two different people from the person they are off stage to the person that they are on stage and they can create a persona for themselves, you know, and maybe they hide behind that and that makes them feel more comfortable. Um But with you I think you are you are what you who you are on stage and and you are who you are in your music. Your your music's um very honest, um, and the way that you portray yourself um online and if if you follow um Nick on TikTok and his social media, um it's quite honest about um you know the way that the way that he's feeling and the songs that he writes if you listen to the lyrics and all and all that kind of thing. And that's the kind of vulnerability side of things, and and I you know you don't want to lose that as an artist because I think that actually is something that that works that works for you um and fits in with the with the kind of stuff that you're doing. Um but anyway, you say that you're you're confident about Friday, um, and so you're not just gonna be the only one on the stage, you've got a couple of support acts. So tell me about who the support acts are.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so I've got May Gabriels, um, who I've collaborated with for a while now, and um she's similar to me, like an up-and-coming artist from uh from London, but based in Norwich, and slightly different sound, a bit more RB soul kind of um genre. But yeah. I've written a few songs with her, she featured on my daily EP, so it's yeah, it feels really good to uh to have her on the bill. Um and then we've got Evie Gilson, who I met I know less about, but I met her funnily enough, I went to watch May in March. That is confusing. I went to watch May in March, um and I met Evie there um at Voodoo Daddy, so it's kind of all all linked some somehow. Um but yeah, I thought I thought she was great, and it was actually her first gig, I think, when I watched her. Um and I'm not sure I don't think she's done one since, so I think this might be her second ever gig. But um in terms of sound, I think she sits a little bit different, it's uh like acoustic rock. Um but I think what's case if between the three of us is you know, just um acoustic guitar vocals and uh storytelling, I think. Um even you know, with slight uh differences. But yeah, um I'm really excited to have both of them on on and it's probably my favourite thing about headlining because like like we talked about, it's um it's quite a scary thing to say, Oh come come to my show, not a show that I've been doing for. Um so yeah, it's it's a really the nice part of that is asking people to to to come play. And so I'm really excited to have them.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, exactly. And you know, yeah, say being having that you can choose who you want, it's it's your gig. You can, you know, decide who you uh who you have support you and again going back to what makes you feel comfortable if you've got people that you that you've worked with before or written songs with before, then you know there's there's uh somebody else that you know it's a it's an environment, it's a situation that you're that you're comfortable with. Um so it's on Friday, tell me the the times and where people can get tickets.

SPEAKER_01

Um yeah, so uh it will be doors at seven, um first support on at half seven, sort of usual stuff, and then tickets, uh five pounds, you can get them. Uh if you go on my Instagram, there's a link in the bio, or I think if you just type in Nick Modan Voodoo Daddies, it should come up. Um like that so much. But yeah. If you go on my Instagram at Nick Modan, there should be a link in the bio. But yeah. We'd love to see familiar faces, new faces. Yeah. It'd be it'd be really nice. But yeah.

SPEAKER_12

There we go, that was me talking to uh Nick the other day, and uh he is playing, as I say, at Voodoo Daddy's showroom in um Norwich this Friday, and Nick also was very kind enough to record a live track for us, so we're gonna play that for you now. This is a track by Nick which is called Hold on, bring up the screen so I can actually tell you what it's called. Picture your face. Here is Nick Mobin live recorded at home.

SPEAKER_13

This is Picture Your Face Hatch, she's trying to watch out, you know what I'm saying? That's the No I'm not there.

SPEAKER_12

I'm not I think myself a whole face is so pitchy face That is Picture Your Face from Nick Mobin played live and he's uh yeah on at Voodoo Daddy's showroom in Norwich on Friday. I thought that was quite an interesting interview, and there'll be musicians, singers, performers that can resonate with that. Um, you know, performing live on stage is something that some people really enjoy um and don't have any nerves for other people. It really does stress them out, but they know that they have have to kind of do it, and when they're up there they kind of enjoy it, and afterwards they're glad they did it, but it's that kind of mental blockage, I guess, um, to begin with, and um yeah, that's probably not something that uh that is talked about that often. So interesting to uh talk about that with Nick, he's uh very open uh about those sorts of struggles as a performer. And um thanks to him for uh being honest on the show today. Alright, we're gonna look back in a few moments' time at some of our studio sessions. Uh we're also gonna play you an extract from last year's NMG Awards from Voyage, um, because we haven't done that for a little while, looking back at a previous live session. Uh and we're also gonna play you a few tracks from Strawberry Fair uh as well, because we've only played those once, those uh live tracks. So we're gonna do all of that in the next hour. But before we do that, let's go back to last week's playlist and this from Sam MacDonald.

SPEAKER_14

I couldn't take up eye.

SPEAKER_28

You're listening to the new music generator with Tim Willard.

SPEAKER_10

SPEAKER_12

Right we're gonna continue our look back at some of our highlights in 2026 so far in a few moments, but first we'll take this from a couple of weeks ago. This is Dan Knight and Threads.

SPEAKER_14

The broken down, just a power on the floor and the hearts and looks. The stuff that we made, I made them too. The pain that we carry, big death I made them too, the pain that we carry is their hearts first.

SPEAKER_11

New music generator made a sound game blue.

SPEAKER_12

This is the new music generator, and that is a live track from the studio from our very first live YouTube show that we did back in February from Myopia, and their track record this is really nice, which is available on their album Mind Party. Right, let's continue by revisiting a few best bits from the show over the last few months. A few weeks after we had Myopia, we had Dan Sutton in the studio, and one of the tracks he did live was this This is red flag.

SPEAKER_27

She talked so long and talked so fast, I couldn't even speak. Turn the motor week just one night but three weeks, and I'm still coming back again. She's a walking red flag, baby. She makes me colour blind. Might have tried to run for my life, but my love didn't touch a sights. Maybe red flag, baby, but that's just fine by me. Cause every colour looks the same. We have 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 our lives. She's a walking red flag. I must admit that's close. Cause she's talk so much about her ex. I began a 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 deep. 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 colour 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 Dice.

SPEAKER_12

Dan Sutton there playing live for us. You can find all of these shows again via our YouTube and Spotify archive, by the way. And if you're obviously watching on YouTube, you'll be able to see them visually as well. One more from the studio. This was when Mo Holland Jive came by. And he did a um collaboration of different uh covers of songs from the playlist and previous weeks on his piano. But he also did this, which is a live version of his track, Levitate. That's levitate from Marl and Jive. There's a couple of uh live studio sessions that we had on the show recently. Uh next week I'll be joined by Anna Mae, as I said, uh in the studio, so looking forward to that. Right, let's go back to the playlist for a couple of weeks about now, shall we, and play you a few more tracks. Uh this is the latest offering from singer-songwriter Grace Calver. It is called New Shirts, uh, another one produced by um her producer that's worked with Alfie Templeman.

SPEAKER_21

This is uh New Shirt Every time you're looking at me, you can know what I've come to my food You are in the mouth of me.

SPEAKER_22

I heard you uh going out tonight. Didn't plan on staying up, but I guess for you I'm right, Lucia, short square. I might be overdressed. Our friends are in legends, but I'm trying to impress. You often I realize, and you look me in the eyes. All of my socials because they die. Here come all those that are fly. Go to the bar to kill some time. Cause I'm too nervous to take hide. I'll hide behind my glass of wine. I'm hoping you're not the off of the door.

SPEAKER_21

All the time, you open up on the door.

SPEAKER_22

Oh wow, I found you standing next to me. Asked how I was said that you heard my song on the people. You talk, I thought this was my door for me. You smile and touch my hand. I forgot how to breathe. I've got your number in my phone, and I'll be waiting for your call. Even if there's other plans, I'm prepared to talk for my final thing. I've lost my mind. Cause I'll keep laughing at your jokes. They're not that funny all the time. I just want you to do it.

SPEAKER_21

I think it's a big look, pay what makes my name. I think that's what it's got.

SPEAKER_10

Why, why, why did I connect with your pretentious little eyes?

SPEAKER_17

So I thing I look down at the ground.

SPEAKER_10

It's about it, I don't think that's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_12

And that one is Laura T's Eyes Don't Lie. We're gonna go back to Strawberry Fair 2026 now, just uh a few weeks ago, but we've only played these live songs once. There are a few others, well, there's lots of others, got the whole set to everybody. Um, but we're gonna play you some of the highlights that we played on our highlight show a few weeks ago. Once again, we're going back to this from Phoenix to begin with. This is just me live.

SPEAKER_14

I heard that she's so sweet. She's something I could never be, not completely. Her smile's on the room, and she knows the words to all the tunes that we used to sing to. I still play our side over here. Did you like that? Just don't want you to sleep, and to give away that just me. What's that just me? They say it's just the face. Don't let the heart in your way. Doing what you mean. But I can't help it. I'm a dick cat. She's so perfect. I can't believe what you want her. She's a bitch. I can't help it. Well, just a liar. When I'm only as he lies, when I worked. Thank you so much. Thank you, Scrollby Burr, I appreciate you.

SPEAKER_23

That was Phoenix and just me. This is George Bone wifting in to make this set seem a lot more dramatic. I am a god! This next one is gonna come out on August 13th, and it's called Note in a Bottle. It's one of my favorites that I've ever written because then I can just tax expense therapy sessions and just masquerade it as music. So this is a song that I don't know if people will have these feelings that they have a look back at their life and they think, God, I wish, like, if only this had gone this way, if only X had happened, if only Y happened, and then the path that I wanted or the path that I thought I wanted when I was younger would have acted out in a certain way. And this is the the letter to my eight-year-old self. To tell myself, do you like this is gonna be fine? Hopefully.

SPEAKER_11

With the pen my mom gave to me while it is the water to swallow the glass. My little arm couldn't throw in that far. It drifted away, and I hope that it's at some stage. What if the wanted to know the stories and reasons behind what I throw? Would I be happy if I was the one who picks up the battle and where would I die? Would I feel guilty or would I feel proud? If let alone me see the meet Now that I'm older, would I say a dream and is fun, but you'll wake up some days and run out right, but at least you can say you try Now I'm still waiting to hear reply from the bottle you threw if I hold inside. There's only so long to go. What if the water got into the glass? But other messages changed up my place as soon as you throw it who's out of eyes. Something that ain't you all be the landsload picture of the bottom. Would I feel could see all that I feel?

SPEAKER_12

Listening to a few highlights of our NMG stage at Strawberry Fair 2026, we'll continue with this from George Nevada. This is Stone's throw.

SPEAKER_17

All this noise, it just shouldn't be held, you know. I'm bad. Gotta slow down. I'm all dry up on second chances, baby. I can use them blackouts. No, there's no space for that. My head's a wreck. Peace and sleep when we are there. Yeah, I'm dying. But I'm not ready ahead of me. A black house, a red out. All this noise, it just shouldn't be lagged. I'm far as help. I gotta, I gotta slow down. I'm launching up for second chance. Baby, I can use this, oh yeah, oh yeah. I need a black house right now. Oh, this noise. I need to tune it up, you know. There's no death I'm gonna break down I'm not dry up on second chances. I just need some kind of land. Don't know at all what the place. But maybe I can use maybe I can use a black cat.
