Described as an eclectic mix of Cat Stevens and John Mayer, English singer songwriter Lawrence Hill was catapulted in to the spotlight during ITV's The Voice in 2017 when it seems, Will I Am 'accidentally' pushed his button to face Lawrence in the blind audition.

Hear what followed and how Lawrence really felt during that time, along with how, like most other musicians during the lockdown, he has not only been unable to perform, but had his livelihood and career brought to a screaming halt.

Lawrence chats to Gary & 'Uncle' Mark from his home.

Like all good musicians - and many bad ones! - he is not far from his trusty guitar and shares one of his lockdown creations.

Hear too the wonderful song penned in support of the incredible Captain Sir Tom Moore - The Walking Man
