Taking upcycling to a whole new level... we're joined on this week's Sheer Isolation by a chap who makes new guitars out of old pianos!
Dom Allen from Scavenger Music reclaims materials from deceased uprights that are traded in at the music shop All Instruments in Westbury to save the whole piano going to landfill.
He uses the salvaged timber to produce hand-crafted, Fender style electric guitars.
He's made more than a dozen instruments in his workshop so far, with plenty of interest from musicians who are looking for a unique, ethically sourced instrument.
Dom tells us how he progressed from making parts of instruments to producing fully operational guitars, and how he only ever uses pianos that are beyond repair for his recycling project.
We also play a couple of tracks - Dom chooses a track from one of his own groups; Sock. Kieran picks a new tune from Oxford's The People Versus who should be appearing at a festival near you very soon.
In our News section, we talk about a big investment to refurbish the Gloucester Guildhall and why several international bands have been forced to pull out of UK festivals this summer.
