Over these听last few weeks, we've been听catching up with one of the most fascinating couples we have here in Herefordshire.
听
Jim Rolt and Sally Stamford met while performing at the Bromyard Folk Festival - and later in life, decided to give up the lot and take to the seas in a sailing boat.
听
They're from Bromyard and Kington, and for the last few years they've been dropping anchor and playing shows wherever the wind has taken them.
听
So far, their travels have taken them to the Scilly Isles, past the coasts of Spain and Portugal, El Rompido, along the Guadiana river, Chipiona, the Canary isles, Barbados, Bequia, St Lucia, Carriacou, ending up in Grenada - where we catch up with them tonight.

听
We'll bring the bands - all we need now is the fans!

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded to us.
听
So if you'd like to Be Part Of It, then simply turn up any time from 2pm - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!
