 Lavender are a British duo Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson and came by my weekly mid-morning show recently on Soho Radio to discuss the release of their debut album We're Having A Barn Dance, on Night Time Stories. They go way back meeting at school so speak all about the origins of Lavender, how they are absolute perfectionists but lucky to share the same vision musically, about studio sessions in Limehouse and France and future plans. The album is out now. Watch this interview and many others over on You Tube. Please subscribe to the channel while you are there for more interviews with incredible music artists.

Before she headed off on tour British singer-songwriter Billie Marten came in to chat to me on Music Discovery on Soho Radio London.
Billie's new album and fifth studio LP Dogeared comes out on 18th July on Fiction Records. She made the record in New York with a stellar list of collaborators and lets us in on a love story that happened during the hot and humid New York recording sessions. We also hear about writing fictional stories for the first time rather than autobiographical lyrics and how she creates a beautifully nostalgic sound world in her music. She's bestowed upon us five albums in 10 years since she started at the age of just 15 so we also discuss how she's a lifer! Billie is THE BEST! Hope you enjoy this conversation. Please do hit subscribe to the channel for regular new interviews with incredible artists. Filming note: A microphone swung around on the shot on me so Georgie is a little out of focus for the first part but it gets corrected a little way into the interview. 
On the channel this week I welcomed a very special guest into the studio for a conversation and live session, the British singer-songwriter Nick Mulvey.
His new album Dark Harvest Part 1 comes out this Friday 6th June 2025 and so Nick joined me on Soho Radio to chat all about making the new record, what we can expect from Part 2 out later this year and his tour plans all over the globe. Nick performed two tracks live as well, Radical Tenderness from the new album and a sublime cover which also features on the LP of Annie Lennox's No More "I Love You's". Nick also told us the story of deciding to cover that song and learning more about its inspiration when he became friends with Annie's daughter Lola Lennox. Enjoy! And please do subscribe to my You Tube channel for more interviews with incredible artists. 
Georgie Rogers welcomed back into the Soho Radio studio previous guest Rival Consoles, the electronic producer and musician.
Ryan Lee West has a new album incoming on Erased Tapes on 4th July called Landscape From Memory which he says is his most optimistic record. They get into the making of the record after a period of feeling burnt out and creatively uninspired, Ryan's relationship with his label family, being their first signing ever. He also discusses new tracks Catherine and Known Shape and plans for touring all over the globe including Australia. Watch their conversation below or listen back to the whole radio show via the Mixcloud. 
Loa joined me in the studio on my Soho Radio mid-morning Tuesday show. They are a duo comprised of Genevieve and Rick and make ambient, emotional and very beautiful music. They were one of my picks for the longlist of this year's Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, which I was a judge on choosing three out of 235 artists.
Here they are live in session in the studio performing two tracks from their new EP Almost In My Reach and Hard Down Low. It's stunning. They also discuss meeting and making music together, being from Preston and Scotland but living in London and finding community within music, their upcoming show to celebrate the EP and about future plans. Hopefully they are your new fave duo too! I'm live on Soho Radio with Music Discovery every Tuesday from 10am. Listen back to past shows: https://www.mixcloud.com/GeorgieRoger... And you can explore more of my interviews on the You Tube Channel with the likes of Greentea Peng, Moonchild Sanelly, Lawrence Hart, Kloyd, All Them Witches, Alice Russell and Warmduscher. The Rival Consoles and Billie Marten chats are incoming soon! 
Greentea Peng joined me in the studio on Soho Radio on the show to get into the new album and play tracks from it.
Aria Wells is an artist from South London. She released her first EP in 2018, debut album Man Made in 2021, with a mixtape in between and now we have her second studio album Tell Dem It's Sunny. Her music incorporates dub, soul, r n b, psychedelic and grunge influences and where Man Made was overtly political in theme this time she's turned inwards and delivered one of her most personal works yet. In this conversation she discusses the process of making this record, how motherhood gave her a new sense of confidence and power, being more involved in the production on this LP, the upcoming UK and Europe tour with her first time playing the legendary Brixton Academy and how she had a near death experience while writing two of the more raw tracks on the record! Thanks for watching. In the show you can also hear an eclectic mix of tunes with new sounds from Neil Francis, The Moonlandings with Nadine Shah, Goldie's Rufige Crew, Little Simz, Goddess, Will Saul and Fink and Mark Pritchard working with Thom Yorke. Boogie Down In Africa was the track from my Vinyl of the Month record by Willy NFor which I bought from Bongo Joe record store in Geneva.

The latest guest on my monthly Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio is the UK Bournemouth-raised, London-based singer songwriter Frances Lion.
Frances Lion AKA Beth Lowen speaks to me all about coming back to a feeling of being 'home' metaphorically and literally as she started writing her latest batch of music with her long-time collaborator and brother Sam Lowen in their parent's house during the pandemic. She's shared new singles Misbehave and Castaway from this new era of music, with the single Home and accompanying video released in 2021. She's a brilliant talent so go and check out her music. She tells us there'll be more singles and an EP this year. The full video of our conversation is below as well as the show link on Mixcloud. You can also listen back to my recent interviews with Moonchild Sanelly, Lawrence Hart, Ben Romans-Hopcraft from Warmduscher, Kloyd, Alice Russell, Art School Girlfriend, 86TVs and many more by scrolling down.

I've been championing them over the last year on the show playing their string of great singles and they are one of my Ones to Watch in 2025 so singer Gabby and drummer Tim joined me in the studio to chat. They discuss their run of shows from supporting Warmduscher at the iconic 100 Club to their Moth Club headliner, how their interactive shows evolved, their unique brand of "wonky tonk swamp pop" for an album and more touring in the UK and Europe this year.
