The CBE's MPC will hold its meeting on Thursday, 21 September, to decide on interest rates. We expect the CBE might prefer to keep rates unchanged for the time being, as inflation rates are showing quiet signs of moderation, and to avoid adding burdens on the budget. Deputy Chair of the House Planning and Budget Committee denied giving comments to the media, which reported yesterday that the IMF's anticipated review of our loan program could be delayed to 1Q 2024. The new social support measures announced by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi will cost an estimated EGP60 billion annually, according to Minister of Finance.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Samantha Martin of Samantha Martin and Delta Sugar!With the worldwide pandemic wrecking utter havoc upon the careers of many musicians, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar elected to use their time off the road to record, mix and master their latest tour-de-force, the astonishingly powerful, funky and deeply soulful The Reckless One.The follow up to 2018’s Juno-nominated Run To Me, The Reckless One represents another massive step forward for Samantha Martin as a songwriter, singer, arranger and band leader. Eleven of the album’s twelve songs were either co-written or solely composed by the multi-talented, multi-faceted artist. The one non-original, a funk infused cover of Bob Dylan’s “Meet Me in the Morning,” fuses Dylan’s lyric in a cataclysmic clash with the sensibilities of the Meters and the hurricane force of Howlin’ Wolf and Tina Turner at their rawest. It simply has to be heard to be believed.Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar,All That I Am,The Reckless OneSamantha Martin & Delta Sugar,Don't Have to Be,The Reckless Onemakingascene,Samantha Martin,Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar,I've Got a Feeling,The Reckless OneSamantha Martin & Delta Sugar,Loving You Is Easy,The Reckless One 

Samantha Martin is a Juno-nominated songwriter and singer with a voice of unmistakable texture and power. We talk about her new album with her band Delta Sugar "The Reckless One" and the trials and tribulations that informed the songs including a grueling few years of touring that put an immense amount of stress on her and caused her to “almost mentally breakdown”. She gives advice on making tours work financially, the upsides of European touring including trying local cuisine like Swedish horse sausage and how chasing the live music high is like an addiction."It’s not the other 23 hours in the day, it’s that one hour on stage. It’s powerful, it’s moving, it fills my soul. Connecting with an audience is magical. Live music is magical. I think it’s also an addiction if I’m gonna be completely honest. Because it’s a high. You just chase it ’til you either get that high again or you surpass it. The first time I played a festival we were the ‘tweener. It was so exciting and my Dad’s right down in front of me and he’s crying tears of proud joy. He’s like “Sam, you did it, you made it”. Because of that then I pushed myself ‘I need to do that again’, but instead of being a ‘tweener, I want to be the band. So then I get that. So the next thing I wanna do is I want to tour. Then you do the tour. It just keeps snowballing. I’ve done a lot in the last 15 years but you know what I haven’t done? I haven’t played on a stadium stage. I’d like to do that one day. I’ve never played Letterman or SNL or whatever. I’d love to do that. I’ve never done the Super Bowl … “--- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://bit.ly/aswKO-FI--- SAMANTHA MARTIN WEB https://samanthamartinmusic.com IG https://www.instagram.com/rootsnroll SPOT http://spoti.fi/2NWQz7p--- AND SOMETIMES ...

- Live Interview w/ Samantha Martin to celebrate the new album: “The Reckless One” by Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar

For this new years bonus episode, we talk to blues singer Samantha Martin about her playlist of early blues and r&b songs and her band's new album.

Samantha Martin on songwriting, performing & more, and then Rob Cyrynowski on his unique & COVID-safe concert format First up, Mike has a lovely conversation with Samantha Martin (5:20) about her pandemic experience and making her latest, barn-storming record with her band, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar. The new album, The Reckless One, was released in November via Gypsy Soul Records, and features swirling Booker T-inspired organ, a swaggering horn line and Samantha’s trademark hurricane-force vocals. With Mike, Samantha chats about their decision to focus on the European touring market prior the pandemic, the cost of touring the U.S., songwriting, singing in the studio versus on stage, what it was like to perform a livestreamed concert from a nearly-empty theatre, and more. After that, Mike chats with Rob Cyrynowski (42:20) about his unique COVID-safe concert series called Hotels Live. Rob is a veteran Canadian talent buyer, booker, and promoter who’s worked with such acts as Kiss, Def Leppard, Rush, Thomas Rhett, Rihanna, Pitbull, Tiësto, Bryan Adams, and The Tragically Hip. Calgary-based Hotels Live Canada has been offering some of the most fun, COVID-safe concert experiences throughout the summer and fall and will continue to do so in 2021. At these shows, fans are watching DJs and bands from the comfort and safety of their hotel room balconies. So far in 2020, Hotels Lives has organized 15 safe live concerts with 48 artists. For those shows, more than 1,350 hotel rooms were sold, with over 5,000 fans attending shows, and ticket sales grossed over $350,000, far exceeding what most concert promoters have been able to do in Canada this year. And importantly, there’s been zero COVID-19 cases traced to the shows. So, Rob discusses how this concert concept came to be, the lessons learned so far, and what 2021 holds.

Powerhouse soul singer with a sense of humour, Samantha Martin is back full force with a bold album and joins me for an in depth conversation and we play some of my faves from “The Reckless One”. You'll love this. Support the Studio: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-build-wild-woods-blue-performance-studio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SHOW # 269 - Live, Uncut & Uncensored Conversations With "Musicians You Should Know" All about the women tonight! Eliza Neals is from Detroit and her new album is Breaking and Entering, a collection of rocking blues numbers.  I'll speak with Eliza and explore her history and the road that led to this new album and music. Regina Bonelli comes to The Couch from Kool Breeze who suggested I check out the music from this Brooklyn, NY native.  Her debut album is entitled Open Up The Door and the original songs all tell the story of this woman's journey to becoming the "reigning queen of NYC Blues" as she was dubbed by Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine.   Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar released their full-length album, The Nightingale, back in February and it has caught the attention of many a Blues, Soul and Gospel fan since then.  Out of Canada, Martin's skill on acoustic and resonator guitars are evident throughout and the vocals of Delta Sugar add another level to the band's sound.  I'll speak with Samantha about her life and music. Couch Kid Deb Ryder returns to talk about her new release Let It Rain.  The album is loaded with stellar musicians contributing to the sound that is unique to this fine vocalist.  All 11 songs are originals and they prove that Deb's skills as a songwriter continue to grow as she does.
