Yellow Brit Road 19 October 2025: Geese review, The Wilderness farewell, Mercury Prize, Sam Fender

Packed show this week! I was back in Kingston for the final (ever?) shows by hometown heroes The Wilderness, splitting up after 10 years of inspiring the Kingston music scene. Photographer and friend of the show Owen drops by to review much-hyped NYC alternative band Geese's Toronto live show, and we have a lot to say. And coverage from this year's Mercury Prize, and why South Shields working class hero Sam Fender's win at the first Mercury held outside of London is significant.
