A special lovers mix but I’m not talking slushy stuff – just new music I’m passionate about and hope you’ll fall in love with too. This is a podcast for people who want to keep listening to new music. But even though we go with the new flow we also know the rocks that we’ve got. Talking of which this edition has a special feature on the West Midlands’ Home Of Metal bid.

Silver Skins Episode 3

Stewart Lockyer a fuchsia specialist and Chelsea exhibitor from South Gloucestershire uses antiquated machinery to produce the labels he places into his fuchsia pots. I caught up with Mr. Lockyer on production day.

Fuchsias, native to America and New Zealand were originally named in honour of a 16th century German botanist called Leonhard Fuchs.
