    Episode 17. Annie Booth (MORE Songs and a Dream Patreon preview!)

    Hey there, something a little different here for you, a little Patreon preview of Annie Booth’s recent appearance on MORE Songs and a Dream where I catch up with previous guests and get them to choose 2 other songs to chat about!  I hope this will entice some of you to become an Elite C-60 or Elite C-60 + member in the future.   Elite C-60 (and +) members get a MORE Songs and a Dream episode every month, a playlist of songs that are in my headphones, articles about musical things that are on my mind, Radio Edits of episodes where the swears are taken out and the music is put in, early access to the main episodes and much more!  Also, as a Patron, you will receive the video version of this very podcast with 20 minutes extra chat about ADHD, theatre work, personal stuff and extra bits I felt weren’t really relevant to the main feed or the concept but are interesting none the less.  It’s only £3 a month (£5 if you want to support more) and I love my Patrons with all my heart so what are you waiting for? Check out Annie's new EP The Brace here: https://open.spotify.com/album/37cYfTyUd5ZqV38AgTUDI1?si=u_r9w_JbQ56Ob4hePmuiHQ  Check out the Virgin Media advert mentioned by Annie in the podcast here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0m4-4xkrIY&list=RDe0m4-4xkrIY&start_radio=1 Lot’s of love and kisses and thanks for listening Support the show For EVEN MORE 4SAAD Content, join me on Patreon here: patron.com/4saad Check out Elite C-60 + member Susan Omand's amazing artwork here: https://www.omandoriginal.com/ Check out Elite C-60 member Peter Marshall's Movie Duel Podcast here: https://linktr.ee/movieduelpodcast
