Annabel Davies

Annabel Davies

Twelve-year-old Annabel Davies first came to JG's attention when one of his friends from his home town of Lyme Regis - Geoff Baker - suggested he check her music.

Geoff spent many years as a music journalist and worked as publicist for Paul McCartney, so he knows his stuff. "I don't usually do this," he told John, "but you really should check out this girl."

And so today's the day that Annabel - who's recently taken part in a national singing competition - comes to Plymouth and performs live.

"I've loved singing as long as I can remember," says Annabel, "singing at school and suddenly being thrust into the limelight when invited to sing solo in front of several hundred parents, teachers and staff within my first听six weeks at John's听former school - The听Woodroffe, in Lyme Regis."

Rufiji Leprosy Trust

Rufiji Leprosy Trust

Rachael Green is a trustee for Rufiji Leprosy Trust (RLT) which administers and fundraises for the Kindwitwi Leprosy Care Centre in the Rufiji district of Tanzania.

Leprosy remains a major problem in the region and over the next year RLT will continue to fund the full time care of over 30 ex-sufferers who are severely disabled, and assist their families with education and healthcare.

Sunday 26th January 2014 is World Leprosy Day and Rachael will join today's show to dispel a few myths and tell us about the Trust.

Siloet

Siloet

Sam J Welch and Liam Gallagher have been writing songs together since they were just 14.

They first met at South Dartmoor Community College, where they formed a band called "The Burtons" (named after Ashburton).

After parting ways to study music business degrees (Liam at Middlesex University in London and Sam at ACM in Guildford), they made a decision three years ago to move in together in Muswell Hill (North London) and start the Siloet project.

On today's show, the pair are joined by Courtenay Andersohn-Purcell on keys and Will Brown on Drums.

They'll be performing live and talking about their Devon connections - including dung beatles!

Russell Sinclair and the Smokin' Locos

He'll be bringing us right up to date and performing a live, acoustic set with his band on today's show.
