This week we hear from Richard Green from The Rotary club in Wolverhampton about the supply of Shelter Boxes to those whose homes have been left devastated by the earthquake in Haiti.

The Monobloggers join us to play live (this is where the chaos begins….) bringing us 3 tracks of musical mayhem, Robert Bowers joins us on the phone as he has a new commission being unveiled (well veiled then re-unveiled) next week and Rob Owen from Revolution Gymnastics Club in Birmingham pops in & Zoe swoons as he lifts his legs an unnaturally long way above his head and does a backflip in a very confined space!

We’ll let you work out the bits we should have cut out of this weeks thrilling installment of The Milk Bar!!!

Another collection of the Midlands finest in this weeks episode of The Milk Bar……

Music this week is supplied by Advantage and we talk to Trumpeter Willis about their ‘Brass Rock’ sound.

All this - and film reviews too - what more could you ask for to get 2010 underway in The Milk Bar!

We bring you a musical review of 2009 with tracks recorded live from 8 of the bands who appeared on The Milk Bar in the last 28 episodes!

There will be a real show - with real microphones - next week!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Technical difficulties abound (but at least we now know why Jason keeps appearing off mic…. must fix that in the new year!!) and there is editing aplenty with a Baby Grand to record in a sort of simultaneous outside broadcast!

NB Special thanks to Jim & David from ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha 

A very Happy Christmas to you and yours from all of us in The Milk Bar!!!!

Settle down and wrap your Christmas presents to this week’s slightly husky version of The Milk Bar….

All this and an uncontrollable beeping noise in the background makes this an interesting episode of The Milk Bar…..

With no Christmas songs at all (until at least next week) please enjoy this lovely episode of The Milk Bar…

Put on a posh frock, pick up your shopping basket and be prepared to evolve an extra limb for this latest episode of ‘The Milk Bar’

So once again it’s well worth popping into The Milk Bar - Thanks for dropping by!

This is my second uploading of this week’s episode with much improved sound quality from about 3 minutes 24 seconds in…. I had to retrieve the mini disc back up due to technical problems with the computer recording of the episode…. ho hum…. This means that not only do we suddenly stop sounding like we are talking through a sock but we get the (preferred) “take one” of the second song Brett performs…. on the down side I may have missed taking out some of our mistakes!!! Sit back and listen to the slightly crisper sound of The Milk Bar…..

All of this brought to you in slightly lower than normal audio quality due to having invested in a brand new computer that would be going back to the shop if it wasn’t on my mobile broadband contract…..  I’ll see how much of this episode I can reconstruct from the back up mini disc later…. please check back at the weekend…. Or enjoy the sound of The Milk Bar like it’s coming from my laptop speakers……

The guests this week are Louis Barnett from Shropshire based family run company Chokolit (an enterprise he started at the age of 12), Sally Mansell from The Fashion Show Company and music from Groucutt and Haynes (Rob Groucutt and Dan Haynes). With more glamour than you could shake an erm…  Milkshake at this must be this week’s installment of ‘The Milk Bar’…
