Suffolk 'n' Cool

A very different show this week just one artist in a 20 minute feature.

Foy Vance made a memorable appearance at the Arts Centre in Norwich in the spring and wowed a sell-out crowd with his passionate singing and his alternating lyrical and percussive guitar style.

I had the good fortune to be there and to talk with Foy, between sound-check and show-time, about his new album Hope which is released in Ireland this week.

I hope you enjoy the variation of format this week â it gives an insight into the backstage life that is lived by rock and roll legends the world over! Yeah right!
