Playlist: Mackem magic and a mystical remix
The big upcoming event for me is the Summer Streets festival in Sunderland - two days of top local bands in the best free festival in the region. We've got a couple of highlights from that show on July 6/7, plus a hazily beautiful remix of some gentle electro-folk from East Durham.

The Old Radio's Song
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the old summer house in a warm, golden glow. Emily stood at the edge of the driveway, the gravel crunching under her feet.

This place held the echoes of her childhood, and now, in the wake of her grandmother's passing, it beckoned her back.
