The Milk Bar

This week there nearly wasn't a podcast due to electrical works in the Milk Bar (we were having a new waffle maker fitted....) Zoe  returns from her holiday - I'm sure you missed her too..... Alex Vann joins us to sing a couple of songs(www.alexvann.net).... 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). With more glamour than you could shake an erm...  Milkshake at this must be this week’s installment of 'The Milk Bar'...
Don't forget to enter our competition to win a weeks pass to Fitness First in Cannock and a Half an Hour PT session from www.benbate-pt.info. Just e-mail us with your details and tell us approximatly how many Fitness First clubs there are in the UK (the answer is actually in Episode 8!).

Also this week Kevin from  Voodoo Johnson stops by for a chat and Xanthe Gresham tells us a story. All of this whilst Zoe should have been packing for her all inclusive trip to Turkey.... Your are listening to the sound of The Milk Bar!

This week Zoe's mystery guest is Ian Donanldson from Glasgows' 80's synth pop sensation H2O, Mick Burrows joins us in with not one but two guitars and we find out about Red Bus Art which could be stopping somewhere near you.

No guessing this week as our celebrity guest Frank Sidebottom reveals his identity as soon as he answers the phone, Bernie Sparrow joins us to sing a few songs and Zoe is made to look like a plank by Cannock Based personal trainer Ben Bate (thats an exercise thingy not just Zoe being daft...). All the milk has been turned to ice cream in this episode of The Milk Bar!

This week Zoe has to try (and fails!) to guess the occupation of one of our guests as we talk to David Lucas one of the 7 strong cast of the West End show Naked Boys Singing, we have music from Soley Mourning and find out how to humanly destroy some of the worst garden pests..... This can only be 'Jason and Zoe in The Milk Bar'.....
