Street Heat, Sarana and Billy and co



Lots of guests in the studio tonight and it was all great fun - at least I thought so!






Emma and Nick spoke to us about Exeter's Street Heat
Samba Band - who began in Exmouth, it seems. They are celebrating their 20th Birthday at Exeter Quay from 11:00 this Saturday 14 May with their Celebration of Samba. They will be parting with other south-west sambistas (a new word for me!).

We had a party in the studio later in the show when Detroit stars Billy Brandt and Sarana VerLin, along with local accompanists JJ Quick and Pete Chart. They performed no less than 5 songs - superbly...
Ain't Gonna Run, Exeter Town (written by Sarana after her visit last year when she fell in live with Exeter; yes, she does know it's a city!), Wind Through the Pines, Thirteen Days and Bats And Butterflies. We had a chance to compare the latter with the recorded version played earlier. The versions were both very good and quite different!
Many thanks to all the excellent musicians.
