It's sad when a major global band tours UK when half the band are denied visas. This is wrong.The musicians that stepped in to rescue the tour however were amazing. #SonghoyBlues were brilliant on the boat in Bristol #TheThekla

Episode 115 - Coastal city sleeping (36 mins)

A *sleep safe* episode from Devon. A perfect mix of distant city hum, gentle gulls and a pair of owls.

Watching at the fan zone in Pompeii where the smoke fireworks and flares blocks the TV screen. Then again football is the people who know how to party. Napoli have just won Serie A. Well done Napoli and Italy

We’re excited to introduce Loes Minnebo as the new trombone player in Jaune Toujours! She’s a fantastic musician with a diverse background—from jazz to Latin and pop.

At the same time, we want to give a big thank you to Vincent Heirman for all the great times and music he shared with us!
