Amanda Owen, Amy Macdonald and Joel Corry

Shepherdess Amanda Owen discusses the new series of Our Yorkshire Farm and Amy Macdonald performs live from Maida Vale studios. Plus Joel Corry has an exclusive Friday Feeling Mix.

Shepherdess Amanda Owen chats to Zoe about the new series of Our Yorkshire Farm. The series, which first aired in 2018, has garnered immense popularity over the years for its heart-warming and refreshingly honest portrayal of family life in the countryside. Viewers and critics have praised Amanda and Clive Owen鈥檚 unique parenting style as they raise their nine 鈥榝ree-range鈥� children on their 2,000-acre remote hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

Amy Macdonald performs live from the 成人快手's Maida Vale studios with music from her latest album The Human Demands. Amy's success is incredible, with six million album sales, four top five studio albums, two of which hit the UK number one. She's also done world tours in front of 3.3 million people, achieved over 200 million Spotify streams. Her 2007 single, This Is The Life, went to number one in ten countries. Over fifteen years of continued international success, Amy has resolutely and unfailingly gone her own way. The Human Demands, produced by Jim Abbiss of Arctic Monkeys / Kasabian fame, reconnects Amy with her alternative roots, and her ability to write classic songs that sound like they have always existed, albeit with a new, Bruce Springsteen-like widescreen grandeur and ambition.

Joel Corry, the London based DJ and producer, has created an exclusive Friday Feeling Mix for the show and chats to Zoe about his latest music. Joel鈥檚 Platinum-selling breakthrough single 鈥楽orry鈥� spent 10 weeks in the UK Top 10 back in 2019 and broke Shazam鈥檚 all-time daily record in the UK after receiving over 41,000 tags in one 24-hour period during the summer. He followed it up with further platinum-selling hit singles 鈥楲onely鈥�, which spend 11 weeks inside the top 10, and year-defining anthem, 鈥楬ead & Heart鈥� featuring MNEK. It was officially the longest-running, consecutive number 1 record of 2020 after spending six weeks in top spot.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Reverend Richard Coles as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

We had our first hymn in a year on Sunday. After the Easter service we went outside, stood in the churchyard, and sang听Thine Be The Glory.

听

A little croaky, after twelve months on mute, and lockdown hair blew lavishly in the chilly breeze; but the sun shone, and the birds sang too, and it was a joy. You forget how much you鈥檝e missed something until you get it back. Being together, singing together, felt like recovery, renewal, rebirth. I haven鈥檛 felt like that since the second summer of love in Ibiza, when we were mistaken for a visiting dance troupe at Amnesia. Happy days.听

听

And I thought again what a good fit it is for Easter to happen in spring.听

听

It鈥檚 not just the theme of new life abounding, buds beginning to unfurl on the trees, lambs jumping in the fields, it鈥檚 the feeling of being set free.听

听

Set free from winter, with its long dark nights, and bitter weather, and relentless perinatal storylines on This Is Us.

听

For Christians, it is freedom too from sterility and shade as Christ steps out of the tomb into unexpected light and life. There鈥檚 a lovely painting by Piero of this on a wall in a little town in in Italy which shows him exiting the tomb looking like he means business. The guards, posted there, wake from sleep, and the trees around him, bare to one side, are in full leaf on the other. And in the eastern churches the icon of the resurrection shows him yanking the condemned out of a pit, their locks and chains falling away as they are liberated.

听

For all of us, this year, liberation is a resonant theme. As we begin to emerge from lockdown we too will blink in unaccustomed light, be in a crowd again, fight for a parking space.听

听

It might feel a bit weird at first, but as life returns to its familiar patterns, God / epidemiology willing, we will know ourselves again as social creatures, made for each other, most of us, and perhaps not really aware of what we have missed until we get it back. Maybe the A45 A6 roundabout at peak time will feel like a trip to the circus?听听

听

Maybe not, but it would be good to hang on to that feeling of reawakening, renewal, release, when it comes, and stand in the sunlight and sing.听听
