BBC Radio 4 - Isy Suttie's Love Letters, Series 1, Mr Mississippi

The tale of Mr Mississippi and Lorna, Matlock's resident busker and his unrequited love.

Isy tries to unite Matlock's resident busker and his unrequited love, while papering cracks in her own relationship. From April 2013.

Isy Suttie presents some unique tales, recounting a series of love stories affecting people she's known throughout her life, 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 related real life 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 deeply moving world, sharing with us her lessons in life and love.

Producer:  Lianne Coop.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2013.
