Sponsored by Bell & Co — Alderney’s leading estate agent, helping people find their place on the island.http://bellandcoalderney.comAlex Flewitt first came to CamTalks five years ago in a North London warehouse; today she’s back in Alderney, running Anchors on Victoria Street, teaching music, and helping launch RidunaFest — a two-day, community-driven festival in the quarry. What began as a pandemic pivot to a bedroom studio became a whole new toolkit: finishing a performance degree online, building a home recording setup, and rediscovering why small-island life is fertile ground for big creative projects.Nearly two years into co-owning Anchors, Alex has learned retail from scratch — buying, styling and keeping the island effortlessly well-dressed — while doubling down on community: Alderney Theatre Group’s hit "Vicar of Dibley", the Fireman Mole gala ads, and a plan to make RidunaFest feel like “the best of the big gigs, done the Alderney way.” Along the way she’s reversed type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes, found new energy, and started sketching the next chapter (hello, Anchors Home).In this episode we talk about warehouse London vs island studios, turning a one-night gig into a festival with top-tier tribute acts, what retail teaches you about people, why local theatre matters, health, discipline and abundance, and the simple power of choosing to build a life here.It’s a conversation about creativity, community and belonging — proof that staying can be the boldest move of all.“We don’t just sell the island. We make it sing.”LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/camtalks/id1479296317Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnWyTUneaEpkcBgKS?si=09035669ff454537Instagram:http://instagram.com/camcairnduffLinkedIn:http://linkedin.com/in/cameroncairnduffTikTok:http://tiktok.com/@camcairnduffFacebook:http://facebook.com/cameronfilmsYouTube:http://youtube.com/@camcairnduff
