This episode comes to you from The Shrewsbury Coffeehouse, Alex's favourite little nook of the town. Joined by Mini-Biscuit Timmy, Alex is speaking to a pillar of the Shrewsbury community, Libby Gliksman.

Libby has been on The Shrewsbury Biscuit radar for a long time, not only for running the much-loved Market Cookshop nestled in the UK's favourite indoor market, Shrewsbury Market Hall, but also for her fine work with live music fundraisers over the years.

Alex and Timmy talk to Libby about the fundraiser she took part in on 21st February 2026. When this interview took place, it hadn't happened yet! The fundraiser was for the devastating fire at Perches House that sadly claimed the life of Rose Roberts. There's a community drive to raise donations to restore the 14th century building and remember Rose. Here's a link to the live crowdfunder - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/7nPra3gl?utm_campaign=sharemodal&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shortlink

This is a nice, warm chat with one of Shrewsbury's sweethearts. We're sat at a table in one of the town's nicest coffee joints—pull up a chair and join us.
