In this weeks episode my guest Reed Bass and I talk on the effect of the corona virus on the music industry, the UK governments payment to the self employed and how musicians are coping without face to face interaction with their audience.
Birmingham Conservatoire honours graduate in music Reed Bass has performed, recorded and programmed for a vast array of chart topping artists including Reggae acts Musical Youth and Steel Pulse's Gabbidon.
As well as session musician, he leads his own band, playing a mixture of both original compositions and 21st Century re-working of Jazz, Soul and Reggae standards. Over the last 5 years his band have been regular fixtures at Mostly Jazz Festival, Birmingham Jazz Festival and Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
This is an episode of insight into what it is to be a black male in the UK, finding overstanding in others differing opinions on race, religion and judgement, as well as the status of the uk music industry.
Expect reality checks, two n two jokes, uk black culture, alongside a soundtrack paying homage to game changing artists including reed himself. All guests are asked to select 7 tracks and Reed's selections do not disappoint.
