Here&#8217;s some words from my latest music column for the Evening News. Last week I was interviewed for a great upcoming music project. BBC4 will soon be broadcasting the&nbsp;People\u2019s History of Pop,&nbsp;a four-part interactive series where music fans share their special memories of favourite artists and venues and in particular their treasured pop and rock memorabilia. All BBC Local Radio stations are also broadcasting their own tie-in programmes and I chatted to BBC Radio Norfolk about my own collection of memorabilia and the memories associated with them.<\/p>\n<p>The programme will be broadcast on BBC Radio Norfolk on Sunday 7th&nbsp;of February at 12 midday. After that it will be available on the iPlayer for 30 days after transmission.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a BBC website about the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/articles\/11HFqlKMMTvKNwX9cDlXb9w\/peoples-history-of-pop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As many of you know I\u2019ve been a big fan of Americana music for a long time, artists such as Ryan Adams, Wilco, Lucinda Williams and many more have inspired my own sound and albums and I\u2019ve shared the stage with many respected artists in the genre. My upcoming acoustic release also very much embraces it with a rootsy sound and lots of dobro, ukulele and harmonies.

I\u2019m really enjoying writing songs for others and it\u2019s really heartfelt and anthemic with a universal theme. It was recorded at The Mill Studio near Diss who are responsible for producing releases by many local bands as well as international signed recording artists. Jonny Cole, who runs the studio, has done a great job working on the song and it will be available online soon. Breeze is also preparing to represent Great Britain at an international singing contest, travelling to Long Beach, California to take part in the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCPA) which attracts contestants from 60 countries.
