   Temple Bay: Four Friends, One Band, Old Dreams

   This month, Dan and Rich head out into the Lincolnshire wilds to meet Temple Bay, a brilliant new four-piece band from Heckington who are quickly making their mark on the local music scene. The guys caught up with the band at their recording studio where they were busy rehearsing, to chat about how it all began, the importance of friendship, and why their Lincolnshire roots mean so much to them. They talk about balancing life in a band with busy everyday lives, their hopes and dreams for the future, and a recent trip to London that saw them come away with a very special vinyl pressing of one of their tracks, Banana! With a live hometown gig recently under their belts at Heckington's 8 Sail Brewery and another Lincoln date on the horizon, there's plenty happening for Temple Bay as they continue producing new tracks with dreams of releasing an album in the ever-changing music landscape. We also get to hear a little more about how they produce their tracks, before rounding off the episode with their latest release, Old Dreams. Get to know one of Lincolnshire's exciting emerging bands, hear their story and discover some fantastic homegrown music!

   Extra Strong Lincs with Strangers: Coffee, Football & Northern Soul with Jayne

   Armed with his trusty microphone, a sprinkling of charm and a questionable amount of wit, Dan heads to one of his favourite Lincoln haunts, Cafe Misto in the historic Bailgate, for a coffee and a good old-fashioned chat with a stranger. And what a day to strike up a conversation! The sun is shining, the city is buzzing, and Lincoln City FC are celebrating their promotion to the Championship with a spectacular open-top bus parade through the streets of Lincoln. There’s a real sense of excitement in the air, and Dan’s guest, Jayne, is more than happy to share in the celebrations. Over a coffee, Jayne tells Dan about her plans to head to the stadium later that day, where she and her family will be watching her grandson Joe and his dad take to the pitch for a football match of their own. From the Imps’ historic achievement to family football memories, there’s plenty to talk about. But, as is often the way when you take the time to get to know someone, the conversation soon wanders beyond football. Jayne shares her excitement about an upcoming cruise and reflects on her many years following the Northern Soul scene with her husband. It’s a reminder that behind every stranger is a lifetime of stories, experiences, passions and adventures just waiting to be discovered. Extra Strong Lincs with Strangers is all about those little moments of human connection. Because sometimes, all it takes is a friendly hello, a shared coffee and a bit of curiosity to discover just how much we have in common with someone we’ve never met before. So, on a sunny day filled with football celebrations, Dan discovers that a simple conversation in a Lincoln café can take you from Championship dreams to family memories, cruising adventures and the enduring spirit of Northern Soul. Put the kettle on, grab yourself a cuppa and join Dan and Jayne for a little extra Strong Lincs!
