This week on the Local Heroes Podcast, Chris and Dan are joined by North Wales-born, North East-based folk artist Ruby Kelly. Ruby dives into her songwriting process, her deep connection to place, and the stories that shape her music. The conversation flows from music to tattoos, triple carb dinners, and the unshakable support of her biggest fans—her Mum and Dad.

They also chat about their recent collaboration on Born & Raised, created for the Local Heroes: Out and About web series. As always, Local Heroes shines a light on the UK’s emerging talent—this episode is a warm, funny, and inspiring listen you won’t want to miss.
