Susie talked about her latest album and her hopes for the future of the music scene in the city.

We got half way through our original Episode 3 when Preston and the rest of the UK went into full Covid lockdown. Given that we weren’t able to get together and record, Phil thought it was about time to check in remotely with his long-standing collaborator Chris, who has also been busy connecting with more Prestons around the globe. Shane also gives us an update on how Preston Lancashire is doing and we think about how to move the project forward as the city takes its first tentative steps out of lockdown…
