A great pleasure to chat to the talented Pola,a classically trained musician wit a new single out now, 'Emerald Sea' is superb and I play a bit for you to hear her amazing voice and music.

Pola tells me how she got started in music, how she took a break and then came back stronger than ever. Her story will inspire fellow musicians everywhere.

The interview is un edited as is normal with me (unless things go very bad lol !) and Pola gets a message on her phone from the window cleaner ! Life eh!?

Pola was is of the founding members of the charity K9Angels that help dogs who are suffering and she tells me all about the work they do.
