Behind The ScenesYou are in: Devon > Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon > Behind The Scenes > The Local Sounds of Summer  The Local Sounds of SummerBy Kev Hutchings Join me on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon this August Bank Holiday Monday at 12 midday for a musical trip around the county as I introduce you to three of Devon's unsigned local acts. This Bank Holiday Monday on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon you're invited to join me, Kev Hutchings, for "Devon Demos". Usually I'm only to be found, after dark, on John Govier's Late Night Radio Show - butΜύ now the "powers that be" have agreed to let me out during daylight hours too. We'll leave the studios behind and head off on a sun-kissed musical journey around the county, to meet three unsigned acts at the some of the most beautiful locations Devon has to offer.

Cheers! Music in the beer garden Our original plans fell flat so we decided to just knock on the door of the local pub and hope for the best! Ben and the boys (after polishing off one or two pints of the local liquid offerings kindly provided by the unsuspecting, but very accommodating, bar staff) told me all about the group and played a fantastic summertime medley along with a version of one of their own jazz enthused hits. Sitting under the shade of a tree, with a babbling stream meandering past us, it really was a lovely way to spend an hour or so. Sun, Sea, Sand and SerenadesSunbathers on the beach at Saunton Sands in North Devon were just as surprised when they were treated to a summertime serenade by Braunton based singer songwriter Amy Newton.  Life's a beach for Amy and Kev Surrounded by wind-breaks and sitting on deckchairs borrowed from Amy's friend Jools, we chatted about her life and music, before she entertained the "beach-bums" with her rendition of the Louis Armstrong favourite, A Wonderful World. Amy also performed a song off her first studio album. Throwaway CommentsThen it was down the North Devon Link Road to Exeter. And providing the soundtrack to an afternoon relaxing by the canal, was singer songwriter Tom Lillywhite. Tom told me how he manages to balance life as a student with the demands of being a 21st century pop star in the making.  On the banks of the canal And just when we thought the interview was over, he dropped into the conversation - just in passing like it wasn't at all important, that his uncle produced what some may say is one of the best albums in the world, U2's Joshua Tree - oh yes and "did I mention he was married to Kirsty McColl too?" "I didn't think it was important," laughed Tom. Tune in or log onSo you can see there really is a musical treat in store for music lovers this August Bank Holiday Monday. So be sure to tune in for Kev Hutchings' Devon Demos from midday - or listen live here on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Devon website.
