    In this podcast I'm joined by Cat Gisby & Rob Sykes. We chat through mental and physical health, food, making music, performing and how our industries have been impacted over the last year or so! Cat Gisby is a composer, performer and agent for Clarendon Personal Management! She is a hugely talented on and off stage and has a seriously kick ass voice!

    Rob Sykes is a sound therapist; an amazing form of therapy which is a type of vibrational medicine. It’s the practice of using instruments, including the human voice to guide you into a deep state of relaxation, so that your body’s innate intelligence and incredible healing power can re-balance your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects.
