Artists and friends have come and gone for many years from our residential recording studio at our seaside home. So much that matters is said and sung. It's always been a privilege for us both to witness and we got to wondering how might it be to open that door a bit wider, in a bid to explore what music is and has been for them, emotionally? To listen to their stories and the songs that may have somehow 'saved' them, or at least helped them through? We didn't forsee how moving and impactful this adventure would be for the both of us. Our guests are heroes and we have been humbled to hear them unfold so vulnerably and courageously.
We hope you listen in to hear these very real un-foldings and remember how we all are actually, a multitude of emotions and not set apart or different from one another.
Chris Potter is an award winning music producer of 25+ years. and Teri Potter is a trauma informed, therapeutic coach. We live with our dog, our cat and our teenager, Eden, in Dorset, England.

We very proudly support...

YOUTH MUSIC
"We believe that every young person should have the chance to change their life through music but our research shows that many can’t because of who they are, where they’re from or what they’re going through.

Our insights, influence and investment in grassroots organisations and to young people themselves means that more 0–25-year-olds can make, learn and earn in music.Youth Music is a national charity funded thanks to the National Lottery via Arts Council England, players of People's Postcode Lottery and support from partners, fundraisers and donors." -

NORDOFF AND ROBBINS
"From adults with dementia reconnecting with their family, to children with autism finding their voice, we believe that everyone who needs it should have access to music therapy, because it can, quite simply, transform people’s lives.

Through the power of music, it breaks through the barriers caused by life-limiting illness, disability and social isolation through providing music therapy to people across the UK, whilst also training the music therapists of the future and funding research to measure and improve the impact of its work." -
