Back in the studio today after a long weekend. 2 hours of music including some live goodies from Leaping Tiger & Skilaa who played at The Wine Cellar last week too. Felt weird to be talking about and promoting music at the moment but there is an incredible amount of great music emerging from people of colour so that was the focus this week.

They also discuss atmospheric venues, why their band is a different experience live and what it was like being nominated for the Taite award.
