Welcome to 2022! We're looking forward to bringing you another year of programming full of tunes, interviews and news from the West of England's music and art scenes.

On Sheer Isolation this week we're joined by Bristol based Sound Designer, Joseff Harris.

He's the guy to call if you're producing a theatre production and need someone to make bespoke sound effects and incidental musical pieces.

His work has been heard in the background of plays across the West and beyond.

For your musical delights we have a track off the debut solo album from Andy Bell, ex-Oasis and Ride member who's playing in Trowbridge later this month.

Joseff's choice is a dramatic instrumental score from Bristol based composer, Kayla Painter.

In the news this week, we congratulate Bath's Pink Pantheress for winning BBC's Sound of Music for 2022 and pay respects to life-member and drummer of the Wurzels, John Morgan.
