Next up is the creative wonder that is Moteh Parrot. Shortlisted for BBC Radio Scotland's Songwriter of the Year Award, Moteh has plenty to talk about relating to his songwriting and inspirations in music. It was a real treat to hear how he uses his work in ecology and nature to nourish his songs with imagery.

In this episode, we are joined by the sensationally gifted musician and producer, Alan Hercher. Alan has music pouring out of every pour, and he treats us to a live version of his own song, along with other unreleased music. Alan has produced nearly all his own music, and has recently set up a local band called The Northern Waters.

You can find some of Alan's music on:

Welcome to Episode 2 of Unheard. In this episode from May 2024, we speak to the insanely talented Calum Jones. Featured on "The Voice UK", Calum gives us a brilliant insight into his career so far in music, and his personal aspirations (although at time of recording he wasn't allowed to speak about the Voice!). Calum's soulful, bluesy voice is the reason he has headlined festivals in Scandinavia and has been part of "BBC Introducing..." in the recent past. He has great advice for people wanting to start out in music. You can find more information on his work through the links below
