The Milk Bar

Jason and Zoe in The Milk Bar - Episode 13

This week Zoe's mystery Guest actually answers the phone - first time - and it's the one and only, very talented (and truly nice guy)  Robbie Glover. Jake Flowers pops in to play us a few tunes and talk about The Hop - a forthcoming festival in south Shropshire and we are joined on the line by Dougie Bancroft  from the Royal Air Force Association  - he tells us all about a World Record Attempt taking place at Wolverhampton Racecourse (make sure you bring your air guitar....) Sit back and chill to the indescribable sound of The Milk Bar....

Jason and Zoe in The Milk Bar - Episode 12

This week we again fail to talk to Jimmy Franks, Zoe comes over all potty mouthed and on a more positive note we talk to Award Winning Children's Author, Artist and Musician Johnathon Coudrille about his work, life and Farmer Fisher. Also on the phone is David Bathurst from Chasewater Railway and live in the Milk Bar (with his Girlfriend's Guitar) is Glenn Rossington who provides ths episodes musical distraction..... Once again an action packed trip to the Milk Bar....

Jason and Zoe in The Milk Bar - Episode 11 (From back-up)

This week we are joined on the phone by Greg Stokes from the Kates Hill Press who tells us about some Poetry and comedy nights taking place in the coming months, Zoe gets excited when she finds out that young men take their clothes off for charity when Tracey Rogers talks bout some events she has organised and Brett Huckfield brings His voice, a guitar, a tambourine and some of those shaky egg shaped rattley things (& Marie Timmins to sing along and operate the latter two items!) to the Milk bar….
 

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.....

This week we are joined on the phone by Greg Stokes from the Kates Hill Press who tells us about some Poetry and comedy nights taking place in the coming months, Zoe gets excited when she finds out that young men take their clothes off for charity when Tracey Rogers talks bout some events she has organised and Brett Huckfield brings His voice, a guitar, a tambourine and some of those shaky egg shaped rattley things (& Marie Timmins to sing along and operate the latter two items!) to 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……

John Starkey has some predictions for our musicians future and Black Country Touring take us from a National Trust Property to the corner shop.....  The competition is still open for that week long pass to Fitness First in Cannock..... This is as close to normal as we get in The Milk Bar.....

This week Zoe is away on Holiday so standing in for here we have Nina Blakemore. Nina is a 'plus size' model (which seems to  mean she is amazingly beautiful, in fabulous shape, curvy in all the right places (...and then some!) and doesn't look like she has forgotten to eat for the last 4 years... without having a fraction of an ounce of fat even in the same city let alone about her person...) She is on Channel 4's 'How to look good naked' (hosted by Gok Wan) and has just been filming the latest series (with a cat walk show in Birmingham when this episode was recorded).
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).
