Beth Hart

INTERVIEW RADIO SPECIALS INCLUDE BETH HART & LARRY MILLER

Singer/songwriter Beth Hart has just released her new album - 'Fire On The Floor' (Provogue).

In reviewing the album, Pete Feenstra wrote: "a contemporary album shot through with old school values and it’s delivered by one of the great singer-songwriters of our time. Unreservedly recommended."

Pete caught up with Beth recently to chat about the album and play tracks.  The interview was broadcast in Pete's Sunday Feature on Get Ready to ROCK! Radio.

Recent interviews have included Dennis Greaves (Nine Below Zero) and blues singer songwriter Katie Bradley.

On Saturday 5 November there is a benefit gig for blues rock guitarist Larry Miller who suffered a stroke in August 2015 and has not played since.  Pete Feenstra chatted to his fellow band member Derek White about his music and the forthcoming event.

These special features can be heard again via a dedicated Mixcloud page.
