SheBeat Meets... in review

#WOW Making SheBeat Meets has been so much fun!!!

I obviously thought it might be worth doing, just to see how I liked it/ got on with it... But meeting with these songwriters, chatting about the craft and the passion of music making, has been so inspiring and life-affirming, I am so thankful to my guests for taking part in my little new music pod project for that if nothing else ^_^ 

What a privilege to have exclusive sessions of grassroots talent! A joy to meet such talented songwriters and share a moment to chat about what is it we do and why we feel compelled to do it! Such fun to discover both the unique stories and similarities, such a sense of solidarity in art making! I can't find the words to explain how much love I'm feeling for this little project... 

Which makes this next chapter for the series even more exciting - local community station Brum Radio has invited me to continue the series with them for their Autumn schedule! I mean, if I thought the Universe wasn't conspiring to make all my dreams come true, this MIGHT turn my head a little ;) Such a wonderful turn of events, I do hope you'll tune in from wherever you be - I'll post broadcast schedule/ listen again links as soon as we have them, and planning to have a little launch party featuring live performances from the wonderful singer-songwriters I've met so far! 

Speaking of which... 

Thanks so much to my guests from Season One of SheBeat Meets...

SheBeat Meets...

SheBeat Meets... is my latest project to share with ya'll... 

I have long loved radio-making and radio-listening, so after much umming and ahhhing, I am now in production of my very own new music podcast! Think BBC Introducing without a budget... Your fav singer-songwriter chatting to other singer-songwriters about music making etc, exclusive live performances, plus a chance to discover someone new... I always say, just around the corner could lurk your new favourite song! 

One of the motivations for my making this little addition to the big bad world of podcasting is how few outlets there are for talking about your music as a grassroots artist... I'm hoping to give a platform to a handful of artists you might never hear about otherwise... I was inspired, in part, by ItMattersRadio with Kerry & Monica who invited me to be their guest a few months back, which I found such a great experience. I also really enjoy a gal pal podcast called Call Your Girlfriend - recommended to me by my own girlfriend KC - which often laments the lack of women in podding... so here I am! 

The series will be in season format, I am recording six episodes which will be dropped weekly via the soundcloud page below hopefully starting sometime next month... bear with me caller ;) 

After the first season I will take stock and seek feedback on whether we all want to carry on for another batch... but first we shall suck it and see!

This is where SheBeat Meets... will live when we go live, so add it as a bookmark beat fans...
