In this episode, 'the Scot' meets the one and only Emilia Quinn. We discuss Emilia's awesome album 'Dented Halos', how she writes and records her music, and how she writes her lyrics and I ask her whether or not the recording of these deeply personal lyrics, is a cathartic process or not.

We also discuss the UK Country/ Americana scenes are, and what it's like being an unsigned artist these days. There are also discussions about the specific issues facing females in the industry as well as trying to balance out the business side of making music and the more creative elements. We talk social media and the pros and cons of it, and much, much more.

In this episode, we chat to the one and only Alan Savill from 'Ian's Chain Charity' who are a charity who have prevented at least 415 suicides since their inception in 2013. Born out of a family tragedy when Alan's son Ian took his own life. Both the charity and 'Savfest' a music festival that Alan and his Wife Wendy set up and run every year, exist to help people and to raise awareness about suicide and prevention of it. This is a guy who knows the subject matter both inside and out and both of us hosts, were absolutely blown away by him and what he and his wife and colleagues do.

We also discuss music too of course as that's the common denominator that we all have, so do yourself a favour and listen in to this podcast as it might just help you or one of your loved ones in the future.
