What: Songs Unsung When: 18 April 2020 Where: YouTube Performed by: Daniel Assetta and Nicholas Griffin Lighting by: Peter Rubie Daniel Assetta The internet is full of people finding ways to express their work in a live format whilst keeping themselves and the rest of the community safe. Sole Sessions has found a way to allow performers who have lost their gigs a chance to perform and earn at least a bit of money to help them get by. Daniel Assetta leads the charge with his half hour homage to musical theatre in Songs Unsung . The show took place live on the 18th April, but with the magic of YouTube you can listen to Assetta's magical voice (and Nicholas Griffin's excellent keyboard skills) as often as you like.

What: The Glam Gizmo Launch Date: 28 March, 2020 Written and produced by: Tom Denham Featuring: Clint Facey and AJ Winters The Glam Gizmo is the newest podcast out of the SYN stable and it takes off like a rocket. Created by writer and engineer Denham , The Glam Gizmo is sci-fi comedy horror filled with all the best Scooby Doo style plot points and effects needed to keep us guessing and keep us laughing at the same time. Full of a certain macabre humour, the best thing about The Glam Gizmo is the characters. Whilst the two leads, Max ( Facey ) and Lucy ( Winters ) are Everyman characters, the supporting characters are a total hoot. They are ghoulish and gruesome in a hilariously loveable way. The set up is fairly straight forward. Oliver Keppel (Stefan Bradley) has created a device which rips holes between different dimensions and strange phenomena are crossing over into our world.
