Danielle Chamberlin and Brenda Burrell join Jay at the microphones to share their love and passion for the arts scene in Sunderland - and what more we can do to support it.

The pair have been attending Kerry Cook's art classes, which are held regularly throughout the year at the Pop Recs café and record shop in Sunderland.

Together, we chat the benefits of arts for the soul, the role that businesses and art can play together, and about the many reasons why we should invest in artists and creative pursuits - from crocheting and stitching, to blacksmith forging.
