This week my guest is Chris Kage, an artist/producer from Brooklyn New York. Through the years, Chris has primarily operated behind the scenes, as a songwriter in bands and as a backing musician, touring with the likes of Willie Nelson (and his sons Micah, Lukas) and Kris Kristofferson. In his mid-twenties, after ending up on a psychiatric ward for three days, Chris was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But rather than be totally destroyed by this, Chris decided to turn it into a collection of songs to share with others; these songs would become his debut album 'Cycles'. Chris states that this album is about trying to emotionally communicate his truths, in a way that can support others with theirs.
In addition to inspiring the songs written for Cycles, Chris' experiences with his own mental health also led him to start Sound Mind Live, a non-profit organization whose mission it is to create a shared space where music and mental health can coexist.

This week my guests are Carly Attridge founder of the Loss Project and Annie Frost Nicholson a multidisciplinary artist from London. Both of them have worked on projects which have focused on how we can use creative practices as a catharsis for our grief. Carly started The Loss Project (a social enterprise focused on helping people find ways of processing grief) after she reflected on her own wellbeing struggles following various losses in her life and realised there was something lacking from what was on offer to support people.
Annie's own devastating loss happened in 2011 when several members of her close family died in a tragic accident. Ever since, grief has been a subject she’s explored in a myriad of ways, including a film ‘Into Your Light’, a monthly Grief Mixtape that she hosted on Soho Radio and more recently, the Fandangoe Whip, Skip and the Grief Rave, which in turn, would spawn the Fandangoe Discoteca, their latest touring collaboration where bereaved people could dance out their grief.

This week my guests are Jo Ritchie and Laura McDonagh, the team behind 'Projecting Grief'. Projecting Grief tells the stories of people finding comfort, distraction or hope in a creative pursuit after losing someone they love. After losing her brother Jack in 2017, the last thing photographer Jo Ritchie wanted to do was pick up her camera. But as she started to search for others who had been through a similar experience, she was intrigued to meet many whose grief had been the catalyst for a creation. Fascinated and uplifted by this discovery, Jo began actively searching for people using a creative practice for distraction, relief or an expression and asked to take their portraits.
In 2019, she enlisted the help of writer Faye Dawson to interview sitters and write up their stories. Faye worked on the project for three years before deciding to take a step back from Projecting Grief in 2022.
Laura McDonagh’s mum Anne died suddenly in 2019. Afterwards, Laura felt compelled to write about family, identity and home; to get things down before anything else could be lost. Laura was featured on Projecting Grief in 2020, before joining the team as an interviewer and writer.

This week my guest is Suzie Fletcher, a Master English Saddle Maker and the resident leather expert on BBC One's The Repair Shop. Originally from Oxfordshire she has been in the restoration and repair industry for over four decades. She is an avid rider since early childhood, which lead to her career in saddle making, leather goods and leather furniture making. Through various commissions Suzie was offered a position in America and she soon found herself running her own business and working all over the US.
Suzie specialised in designing and making saddles for the female rider and settled on a homestead farm on the Eastern plains of Colorado with her husband Rob and a collection of horses, dogs and cats.
Her life all changed in 2013 when her husband passed away after a short illness. Suzie returned home to the UK and soon found herself in front of cameras for a new BBC program called “The Repair Shop” alongside her brother Steve.
In this episode we discuss Suzie's memoir, "The Sun Over the Mountains" in which Suzie writes about overcoming some of life's most difficult challenges, from complicated relationships to grief. She talks about how putting these experiences down on paper became an incredibly cathartic exercise and how her work as a master-saddler and her love of animals have brought her immense healing over the years.

This week my guest is Marcus Elliot, a saxophonist, composer and educator from Detroit, Michigan, USA. He is the current director of the University of Michigan's Creative Arts Orchestra and his compositions and improvisations have been described by the New York Times as "convincing and confident, evolved in touch and tone...", and the Detroit Free Press has said that, "Marcus Elliot represents the next generation of jazz".
Marcus has experienced several pivotal life changing moments over the last few years. Not only was his first child, a son, Elijah born but also his father, who had suffered a debilitating stroke in 2017, sadly passed away. These experiences became the inspiration for a newly commissioned piece, “Fill the Room With Light” - which was performed for the first time last September with New Music Detroit.
In this episode we discuss the creation of the piece “Fill the Room With Light” and how Marcus' music has given him an insight into grief and the gifts that his father gave him.
Marcus says:
A week after I began writing the music, my father was put into hospice care. My visitations with my dad were filled with prayer, meditation, singing, listening to music, and playing music for him.
This commission allowed me to take the time to emotionally process the heavy, beautiful moments I had with my father. It allowed me to channel the emotions I was going through and transform them with music. For that, I am forever grateful.
