2023/06/20

Warren is joined in the shed by Lee Switzer-Woolf, an alternative artist from Reading. His superb dark indie-folk lifts you up just when you thought sad songs could only drag you down. We're rolling through the precinct, the sun lights up the grey concrete of the building site, the birdsong pierces the crushing tones of the drills. We fall, we get up, a builder says how nice it is to see us skating to school. Later in the evening, Lee shares a brilliant insight into writing, wellbeing, his home town

Tiger Mendoza has done an exquisite job with the audio production, ensuring the music sounds as pure and as crisp as the icy cold clear night outside. Warren's shed delights his guests and once
