Our guest this week on Sheer Isolation has his finger on the pulse of Salisbury's music scene.

Thom Belk has been organising music nights in the city for over 15 years. He's currently in charge of the entertainment at Brown Street - a new venue on the site of The Chapel.

Thom tells us about their plans for extending Brown Street, and how Salisbury has recently lost it's biggest venues because of the pandemic. Fortunately the music scene is now on a road to recovery.

We also play a couple of tunes - Thom chooses a number of Salisbury's upcoming bands, so we've picked a track from Love Is Enough. Kieran's choice for the week is the latest release from Oxford's The People Versus, which has already attracted the interest of some national radio stations.

In our news section we share some positive news on Big Jeff's recovery - the famous gig-going Bristolian was sadly involved in a house fire earlier this year.

We also give a shout out for the Womad festival which takes place on the outskirts of Malmesbury over the last weekend of July.
