This week we report on The Witham arts centre's annual general meeting and chat to director Amy Hughes, who is keen to hear users' opinions of all aspect of the centre.

We also chat to Suzanne Wallace, who outlines a project called Time Together Teesdale, which aims to tackle social isolation and loneliness.

There are also details of an evening of free live music, part of the Durham Brass Festival and look forward to the release of blues musician Connor Selby's new album in August, which he will be touring in the autumn and which includes a gig in Barnard Castle.
