Mr Mississippi

Unique tales presented by Isy Suttie.

She's recounting a series of love stories affecting people she's known, told partly through song.

Sometimes Isy has merely observed other people's love lives; quite often she's intervened, changing the action dramatically - for better or worse. Intertwined within these stories are anecdotes from Isy's own, often disastrous, love life.

This time, Isy tries tries to save her failing relationship with a papier-mâché penguin, while at the same time helping Matlock's resident busker, Mr Mississippi, capture the heart of his unrequited love Lorna, a shelf stacker at the local supermarket.

With her multi-character and vocal skills, plus her guitar, Isy creates a hilarious and moving world, sharing with us her lessons in life and love.
