In Episode 5 of Arts Wholed, Barney catches up with Singer and Songwriter Samantha Whates. Her website at https://www.samanthawhates.me/ describes her thus: Scottish singer-songwriter and Rough Trade Records recording artist Samantha Whates is a hugely respected figure on the London folk & roots scene. Her beautifully crafted, poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition, yet uniquely her own.

Because we can't fit complete artist's music performances in to the show as a separate listening experience - as we would like - due to time constraints, some of the tracks from her album Waiting Rooms which she recorded entirely on location in various waiting rooms around the UK and out now athttps://wonderfulsound.bandcamp.com/album/waiting-rooms?fbclid=IwAR0SHAUax2BcV0sI6xiSshlusozgh-klanI9o4I_UnnthD-hLDc4e-lflls play underneath the interview to give you an "amuse bouche" of her material.  

Enjoy.
