Today's music will be quite relaxed and in about 20 minutes I will play a newcomer who joined TalentCast last week.
Last week's voting was nice and brought us a winning song from The Netherlands. Somewhere halfway though the programme you will hear who is the winner.
I will start far from home, in New Zealand. I played a song by this independent musician recently, but she has just released a second single from her new album.
