Sheer Isolation 94 - Phil Moakes (Visual Radio Arts)

On this week's Sheer Isolation we talk to Phil Moakes from Visual Radio Arts in Devizes.

VRA is an independent studio where local musicians and bands can record live sessions of original tracks with both professional quality sound and high definition, multi-camera video.

Phil tells us how the session recordings began in the early days of Frome FM, and has since moved on, along with the technology, to become the established and respected centre we know today.

Since 2016, Phil has recorded hundreds of sessions - all of which are free to view online.

On the music front, Phil talks us through a showreel of some of the acts who have performed at Visual Radio Arts over the years. Meanwhile Kieran picks a track from Dean McMullen who is the guitarist in Exeter's Muncie Girls, who's about to release a solo album and will be touring it later this year.

In our news section, Kieran talks of the closure of one of London's most iconic live music venues.
