Hello people, welcome to the When In Yorkshire Podcast, this is episode Thirty featuring a conversation with Gary Stringer from UK rock band Reef. I’ve been listening to Reef for almost 2 decades however the first time I saw them live was a couple of years ago at The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. You might know Reef for their multiple albums or maybe just from their massive hit Place your hands, either way they have been filling our ears with funk riffs and soulful melodies for many years.  I managed to get some time with Gary after their set which was part of the 4th annual series of Get Loud gigs that happen simultaneously across the U.K. in aid of Music Therapy charity Nordorff Robbins, who I have spoken about way back in episode one with Laila K of Sonic Boom Six. Gary gives some more information about them, the amazing work they do and his experience of being involved in working with them. We mention a session he and Benji of Skindred were a part of, here is a link to the video of their session: https://twitter.com/reefband/status/1176777446382874624 Check out @NordoffRobbins1 on twitter or https://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk/ for more information.
