Love Island, Wimbledon, and never seeing your other half feature in this week’s episode. We discuss the new music director of the RPO, a musical gift given to the New Zealand Prime Minister’s baby and a 103 year old pianist. Our special guests this week are Simon Cox and Matt Knight from brass septet Septura. We conclude with some upcoming concerts and a rather fishy weird gig of the week story.
