Kernow King has been keeping us smiling throughout lockdown on his instagram page @kernowking_ . Go and give him a follow!

Read some words fro Edward about his selections below:

"My Invada Lockdown playlists is essentially a collection of tracks I've had on since March. My lockdown here in Cornwall was mostly spent in the garden digging out weeds, planting up pots, potting on veg, cutting kale, and these tunes have been with me every step of the way. I played the playlist back to myself the other day and thought what a great job I'd done putting the tracks in order- they followed each other beautifully, quiet then loud, bangers then classical. It lifted me. DJ sets beckon! But then I realised I had it on "shuffle".

Her debut album will be out later this year!

Read some words from Tor about her selections:

"It's the end of the world as we know it! And I feel...err...wait, how do I feel?

Maybe this playlist reflects the uncertainty of feeling, but y'know, it also might not.

For me personally, I'd say it's been a strange combination of;  'Oh my god! Unprecedented! Kinda worried. Ok very worried. Can I eat this? Lock the door. Turn it up! Turn it off. For the love of god, do not suggest a zoom date. 

I've found myself digging out old mp3 players with all kinds of stuff on. I just like anything that moves me in anyway. I've travelled a little bit with some of these Sony powerhouses and they seem to have this trick, where they can take me back to the places where I've held them in my sweaty palms. Handy really, seein as we're stayin right here.

 Y'know I dont often listen to music much. It's terrible to admit that, but its true. When I'm writing, making music myself, or really just want to hear what's in my head - I turn everything off. 

Apart from weratedogs on instagram. If they post, I'm there. I'm not an idiot.

Hope that's ok! 

Cheers, 

Tor X"

Some words from Edith below:

I was so excited to put this playlist together and almost had to ban myself from continually adding to it. What’s been interesting is how every day I’ve felt different and needed a different type of music or sound or emotion from what I’m listening to. That’s why it’s a pretty scatty list. Since launching the Soundtracking podcast, it’s been a huge privilege to explore peoples brains on creating such wonderful pieces of music and how they have been used in film and tv. I’ve learnt so much and look forward to that being the case for many years to come. In this unknown and at times boring situation we find ourselves in, music has been a major companion and almost therapist to help drag my ass out of many dark times. There are songs in here that are my ‘go-to’s’ for various reasons, there are songs like that are specific sonic pictures of people that i miss, some of whom have been dead a long time, like Al Jolson, a favourite of my late grandad, that we played at his funeral. Or Lay Down Sally, one of my dads optimum karaoke numbers. I’ve not seen him since Xmas and singing this with him is one of the first things I want to do when we get out of this hell. Then there are things like Down On The Corner, which makes us all dance round the kitchen in complete happiness. This lockdown nonsense has meant that I can’t predict what mood I’m going to be in from one day to the next, I’ve got to just take it as it comes. But be grateful for everyone and everything in life, particularly for the simple pleasure of being able to listen to anykind of music at anytime. Without that I’m not sure, well of anything really. Thanks Redg and Geoff for asking me to do this, what you do is bloody amazing and your support has been so amazing, Ben and I are eternally grateful ...

Thanks a million, hope it’s ok

Our next guest is American actor, writer and comedian Rob Delaney.

Rob is widely known as the co-creator and co-star of the critically acclaimed Channel 4 and Amazon Prime comedy Catastrophe, for which he was nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and won the BAFTA TV Craft Awards for Best Comedy Writing. 

Rob also appeared as "Peter W" in Deadpool 2, and hosted Comedy Central UK's "Rob Delaney’s Stand Up Central", an eight-episode stand-up comedy showcase as well as much more!

Read some words from Rob below:

"No real theme here other than these are songs I’ve been listening to lately and I enjoy them. I currently hate lockdown. I’ve enjoyed chunks of it and there are good moments here and there but it’s just not natural. My kids hate it. My wife hates it. I hate not working but I really can’t get much done as my kids are 9, 7 and 1 so they need loads of attention. I’ve managed to get some reading done though. Alice Munro and Katherine Anne Porter are the best writers I’ve dug into in these last 5 weeks. I feel slight guilt for not writing a happier note but I’ve lived enough to know that people who pretend to be happy when they’re not are deadly. There are some nice sad and happy songs on this playlist though and I hope the millions of people who will discover them now have a nutritious experience. Make sure to send NHS workers nudes if they ask."

Our next guest is actor, writer and director Alice Lowe.

Alice is known for her many film and TV roles which include Black Mirror, Kill List, Sightseers, Hot Fuzz and much more.

Alice also wrote, directed and starred in the 2016 comedy slasher film 'Prevenge', about a pregnant widow who is convinced her foetus is compelling her to embark on a killing spree as revenge for the death of her husband. Incredibly, Alice made and starred in this film during her pregnancy! Her newborn baby was also able to portray the main character's baby in the film at just 10 days old.

Invada released the fantastic score to 'Prevenge' by Toydrum on all formats back in 2016. Definitely one to check out!

Read some words below from Alice about her selections:

"I often listen to music when I'm writing. There'll be particular songs that inspire a mood or a scene, and I'll listen to those over and over. I would call this 'shamelessly shimmering romance', because that's what i'm writing at the moment. I listen to a lot of sound tracks. At the moment I'm enjoying a mix of melancholic synth and dark folk, with a bit of arch harpsichord thrown in.Actually I'm finding it hard to find time to write while looking after a 4 year old and a 5 month old. But when I get round to it whatever I write will possibly be an explosion of various repressed substances. The pandemic's got me thinking a lot about Time. Not much new content being generated in my life now, other than nappies. So you end up raking over past memories. I've had a lot of nostalgic wistful dreams. I think I'd term this playlist 'purple'. That misty hazy thing of looking back sadly over memories with delicious sadness. That kind of thing."
