Hello and welcome to the episode we are referring to, internally, as "Rolling Dough and Raising Spirits" or should that be "Raising Dough and Rolling Spirits"? It's about The SA Variety Bash which is underway today, the day we are releasing this episode (10th August 2024), and the main interview was recorded inside Car 13 The Bakers, which my company, Talked About Marketing, helped sponsor. So, you'll be right there amid the rumbling of a 1991 Commodore, as we cruise with a crew that mixes baking with benevolence. I talk about Darren Sutton from Kytons Bakery, along with his mates Julian Stone and Chris Madeley, as they put the finishing touches to the car before they drive thousands of kilometres to support the work of Variety. And when I say "finishing touches", I mean touches they needed to avoid the car being finished (yes, we spent an hour with the car on a hoist while last minute work was done, related to the transmission - luckily, that's not a critical part of the car).

In The Musical Pilgrimage, we finish with a musical detour with 'Dance With Me' by Adelaide’s own Lizzie Hosking, adding a rhythm to our ride that’s got to make it onto the road trip playlists of all participants this year, especially Mr Fresh FM, Chris Madeley.

There is no SA Drink Of The Week, this week.

Welcome to a high-octane interview on The Adelaide Show, recorded live from the back seat of the infamous Car 13, The Bakers, who are heading off on this year's SA Variety Bash. Joining me on the road are Darren Sutton from Kytons Bakery (where we're leaving from) and his mates, Julian Stone and Chris Madeley.

In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Dance With Me by Lizzie Hosking.

Adelaide Singer Lizzie Hosking is a powerhouse vocalist with catchy melodies and fun story-telling. At a young age Lizzie was diagnosed with ASD, and has since navigated the world with resilience despite the challenges she faces in social interactions and societal misconceptions.  Through her love for music and determination, she uses her platform to advocate for understanding and acceptance of autism, inspiring others to embrace their diagnosis as a superpower and pursue their dreams with confidence.

Lizzie has found success as an independent artist releasing multiple singles, to be featured in worldwide press, receiving support from Spotify and Apple editorial and the team at Triple J Unearthed. In March ‘24 Lizzie made her first festival appearance at WOMADelaide delivering a mesmerizing vocal performance on the NSS Academy Stage.

Most recently Lizzie Hosking co-headlined Adelaide’s UniBar and was selected to play at Music South Australia’s “Scouted 2024”, proving Lizzie Hosking, one to watch.

Dance with me is a Dance Pop and Disco tune with influences from ABBA and Ariana Grande - just perfect for Chris Madeley from Car 13!

In Dance With Me, Lizzie empowers listeners to see their worth and tells the story of the fear of dimming your spark for someone else, however if they are willing to grow and shine with you then beautiful things can happen. She says this song is really about understanding your worth and preaching that to the masses.

Lizzie says Dance With Me is for the girls that need a reminder that they are fierce and amazing and there will also be someone and something to lift them up!

Dance With Me is on Spotify and Apple Music, and you can follow Lizzie there and on Instagram and TikTok.
