Downey's Bank Podcast EP #4: Organs, Elders, Hubs, and History with Carol Bryant.
In this episode we are graced by the lovely Carol Bryant. Like our host, Carol grew up in but left Winterton as a teenager to pursue her own aspiration. The duo chat about the “connection to home” everyone from Winterton shares and the impact that Trinity Hall and Greg Wells has already had on the area. Carol shares some relevant stories from her youth and regals us with some history you may not know or may have even forgotten. The primary reason for this chat though is to get the history on a couple of key musical pieces Carol & her family has donated to Trinity Hall and Scilly Cove Records. Pieces which will undoubtedly play a role in creating and inspiring the next generation of artist. Sit back, relax, and enjoy, Downey's Bank Podcast EP #4: Organs, Elders, Hubs and History with Carol Bryant.
