75 – Banjo and Ro Beale

This episode is a conversation with Banjo and Ro Beale.
Banjo and Ro originally hail from Australia but have settled just outside of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.

Ro is one of the masterminds behind the distillery at Isle of Mull Cheese, and Banjo is a celebrated interior designer, whose work you may have seen in Interior Design Masters, his own series Designing the Hebrides and whose book Wild Isle Style is available from all good bookshops.
