Hello, Fern here and what special episode we have for you today.

It's a chat with Laurie Vincent, one half of slaves and now also one half of Larry Pink

the human.

And it's in that new guys that he's contributed a song to Happy Place the Album.

It's a wonderful song.

We'll hear it in just a bit and stay tuned to hear the heartbreaking story behind how it came to be.

Okay, here we go.

Hello Laurie.

Hello, how's it going?

I'm good and I'm really glad that you are on this mini series about podcast for the Happy Place album.

And I'm thrilled that you're on the album.

Thank you so much for being part of it.

Thank you for having me.

It's really exciting and yeah, dream come true.

Well, I've been listening to your song all morning in preparations to talk to you today and to read, sort of like,

like, literally listen to it.

So I thought we would hear a bit of the song now before we go into our chat.

So here it is.

This is your song Love You By from the Album.

Oh, mate, it gets me every time hearing that.

It's just so beautiful.

And for anyone that knows you from slaves, obviously a very, very different direction from what you used to.
