It feels a bit crazy to be writing this but I am proper proper happy to bring you my latest podcast episode with the legend that is Rowetta! Rowetta is a world-renowned singer and part of one of the greatest bands to ever come out of the UK the Happy Mondays. We spoke about her career and where her passion for music began and she also spoke about doing what you love working hard and giving back as...

Skylights lead guitarist and songwriter Turnbull Smith was sound enough to give up his time and come on the podcast a couple of weeks ago. Loads of people recommended I give these lads a listen and they were right to do so! The band are from Leeds and formed in 2008 and after a six year layoff from 2012 they were encouraged to start playing again by family members in 2018. They sold out their firs...

This is one of the best podcast episodes I have done with my mate Reece just now! We have been good mates for about 5 years and he also has Cerebral Palsy and follows Burnley home and away and has done for about 25 years! Hardly any questions were asked and we just spoke openly and honestly for nearly an hour about all sorts of stuff from our disabilities and how we are perceived to relationships...

Benji from @lockin_band joined me on Thursday to talk about the bands origins, song lyrics, crowd engagement and much more! I’ve been hearing big things about these lads and I definitely like the sound of their tunes! Plus I think Benji is a great frontman from the videos I’ve seen of him crowd-surfing at Truck festival this year. He has charisma in abundance. They headline the Liverpool Jacaranda...

Spoke with my mate Andrew Pickup on Wednesday evening ahead of his charity boxing Match at the Dunkenhalgh in Blackburn on Sunday in aid of cancer research.  Andrew speaks about why he decided to do this and the physical and mental health benefits of exercise. Standing tickets still remain if you want to come down and show your support I will put the link in the comments to this below and als...

My mate Stuart Mills joined me on the podcast today! We met through the Adidas community on Instagram and speak regularly about clothes footie and music. Stuart is also in a wheelchair after a motorbike accident in 2011 and I have wanted to speak to somebody in a similar situation to myself on the podcast because I think it’s important to make people aware of the different trials and tribulations...

I spoke with another member of Adidas Trend Marketing team at the weekend in Sam Quelch. Sam’s a great lad who I have got to know through the Adidas community on Instagram in recent months. He went to watch Oasis at Wembley with his mum in 2009 which inadvertently put him on the path to where he is today sparking an interest in fashion and casual clothing brands. During his Fashion Comms and Graph...

I had a chat with the lads from The Stride on Saturday morning. The Stride are a four-piece indie rock band from Burnley who are made up of Cain Buck - Vocals/ Guitar Jack Simpson- Lead Guitar Ryan Gilmour- Bass and Bailey Pearson - Drums. I have wanted to get these lads on for a while as I know them personally and it’s always good to get a bit of Burnley charisma on the podcast! I saw them play l...

Fresh off supporting Liam Gallagher at King Georges Hall in Blackburn last night The Iiicits frontman George Richards joined me to talk about the gig but also their latest single play your part which was released yesterday. The four-piece band from Blackburn formed in 2016 and have since gone from strength to strength supporting Liam on more than one occasion. Last night was the second time I saw...

Loved doing this podcast episode with Adam from Mind Body and Sole last week! I met him at the Padiham vs Congleton Town game in September and we have the same interests and are both passionate about Mental Health issues. Adam founded Mind Body and Sole in January 2021 as a way of combining his love of Adidas with getting people to open up about Mental Health. Since founding MBS he has helped so m...

I'm absolutely buzzing to bring you the first interview on the podcast with prestigious Adidas collector and the creator of the Adidas Spezial range Gary Aspden! Those who know me personally know what a massive fan I am of Adidas and the late 1980's and 1990's music and casual culture so it was an honour to speak to Gary! Since meeting at the Adidas Cinquanta CP Company exhibition in Darwen in Oct...
