Jake Downs

Jake Downs
Last weekend, young Devon musician Jake Downs was playing viola in London for Totnes band Matthew and Me.

Today, he's joining JG to perform live for the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon audience with his voice and Celtic harp!

Jake is classically trained and currently studying music at Oxford but his first love is pop music and his new single, Crave, comes out next month (August 19th).

The video for Crave was shot entirely in monochrome and is heavily incluenced by 20th century European film.

This is a return visit for Jake and we're looking forward to finding out what's happened since his last visit to the studio.

Max Lewin

Max Lewin
Exmouth musician Max Lewin started playing drums when he was just eight years old.

Since then he's become an accomplished songwriter, guitarist and singer.

He says his music is "alternative acoustic when playing live, however when recording I experiment with a vast range of instruments, creating different styles and genres."

Max is hoping to recruit a band to help him perform his recorded sounds live.

We'll hear him perform on today's show.

Special Olympics is the third arm of the Olympic Organisation, part of the Olympic family but without such a high profile or funding.

In 2009 only ONE athlete from the Plymouth & District area attended the Special Olympics National Games in Leicester (2800 athletes from Britain competed).Β 

But the club has gone from strength to strength and 2013 is SOPD's BIG year - they will be taking 33 athletes - plus 20 support people - to the SOGB National Games in Bath in August.

We'll meet some of the members and find out much more.
