I was absolutely delighted to interview a true pop original, the one and only Mari Wilson.

Bursting onto the music scene in the early 1980s with her unmistakable beehive hairstyle, dazzling stage presence, and a string of unforgettable hits including Just What I Always Wanted and Cry Me a River, Mari quickly became known as the “Neasden Queen of Soul.”

But there’s far more to Mari than the iconic image. Across a remarkable career spanning more than four decades, she’s reinvented herself time and time again from chart-topping pop star to acclaimed jazz performer, musical theatre star, songwriter, and live entertainer. She’s shared stages with legends, performed at venues like Ronnie Scott’s, appeared in productions including Dusty The Musical, and continues to captivate audiences with her warmth, wit, and unmistakable voice.

Mari is back with brand new single and album starts a brand new chapter, proving once again why she remains one of Britain’s most unique and beloved performers.

We had a lovely chat I hope you enjoy it!

Adam Stanton Warmby was born with cerebral palsy, but he never let that stop him from achieving his goals.

Adam demonstrated his resilience and determination during his epic journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End in a wheelchair modified by the Mercedes Formula One team. Some days he spent 14 hours in his wheelchair, eventually breaking the Guinness World Record for the trip, completing it in 22 days and 16 hours.

We also discussed the challenges people with cerebral palsy face with accessibility. For example visiting a museums, something most of us wouldn’t even think about.

Adam is one of eight children, a middle child, and was born on Friday, May 13th. He is a Winston Churchill Fellow, originally from Kent, he now resides in Cheltenham Gloucestershire.

I found Adam to be incredibly inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I hope you do too!
