A sparkly conversation with cellist Margit van der Zwan. Exciting times when she toured with the band Elbow for five years. It was brilliant to catch up with her many creative endeavours including recently devising and publishing a brand new card game "Quartet", song-writing and recording her very catchy single "Oo La La" with her band The Ladybird plus her fantastic drawing and painting skills. If I tell you she played a saw live on air it will tell you everything you need to know about this woman. So wonderful to catch up with her.

I've been following Marcy's work online for a few years and I can only tell you she is an extraordinary writer. Today was a beautiful joy having a writer of this calibre on the show, breathing into her words and sending them into life over 1025FM airwaves. I know, it is just a question of time before she hits the bookshelves and is a writer that everyone wants to follow/read. Our roving seaweed poet Susie David sends reports from windy climes... Weather/traffic/what's on from Martin Seager.

A lovely warm glow emits from 62 Fore Street, Totnes, I reckon it's Harry Potter and his magic wand dancing around 'The East Gate Bookshop'! A fun conversation with Nigel about how he and Claire came to live in Totnes. We discovered how the mutual love of books propelled them to 'TAKING THAT CHANCE' and starting the business, flinging the doors open to book lovers everywhere. They have a terrific website full of great ideas and titles, it's super easy to navigate and I suggest you sign up to their newsletter for the events and new happenings.

On Saturday night Glorious Chorus were at long last singing live again in the public domain in the wonderful Totnes cinema as part of Totnes XX. A sell-out gig (covid-safe), audience completely enraptured hearing live music for the first time in many moons. Even their rehearsal outside Mountain Warehouse on Totnes High Street pulled the attention of many locals who stood by as witness to this marvellous event. If you've ever thought you would like to demonstrate your musical skills and write songs for choirs please go to Helen's website helenyeomans.co.uk where she has devised a 10-part streamed masterclass tutorial on writing for choirs for £50/£25 (half of which goes to musicians whose work has been affected by the pandemic).

Have you ever had several panic attacks trying to prepare your house for visitors? You have, then look no further for the poem of a lifetime that will fully employ your laughing tackle. Edward Tripp is a stand-up poet who lives in Devon. He combines words, high-drama (and occasional theatrical effects) to convey a range of deep esoteric truths. Edward was once described as ‘Dave Allen meets David Lynch’ and it pleased him. It was arguably one of the few times Edward has ever truly felt pleased. Please listen to Edward, he means well. Also - has a lot of time on his hands since he was relieved from his position at Clinton Cards. The Full Totnes Breakfast hails Edward as a comedy genius!
