My featured guest on the second episode of Spirit and Roots was the legendary Trent Miller. Here is a video of him playing his new single – ‘How Soon Is Never.’

Among other things, we spoke about his musical journey from Italy to London; Celine Dion; and how, like Townes Van Zandt, his songs come to him in dreams.

My inaugural guest on Spirit and Roots was the fantastic, Peter Conway. Here is a video of the song he played us – a track from his upcoming album.

Among other things, we spoke about the influence of John Martyn on his music and how his latest single came to be written onstage in a moment of inspiration – live in front of a London concert audience.
