An absolute joy to be joined on this weeks show by the amazing Ash Grunwald!

Ash talks about his work ethic and heavy touring schedule, and how he manages that alongside being a family man, his collaboration with Josh Teskey for the Push The Blues Away album, how Community Radio and Mixtapes first introduced him to the Blues, and we have a mutual froth over Rick Rubin!

Chatting about playing the festival, their single Miss Fortune (since recording they have also released a second single FYI) Zoe picks some great tracks for her Mixtape, including one rather rude tune that made me proper blush when I heard it!
