How To Gig

Music EN ↓ 47 episodes

How to Gig is the podcast for the gig goer. For the people who can’t resist saying “I saw this live”, spending half their wage on merch, and the other half on pints. It gives every guest on the podcast a chance to show their inner fan, by chatting through the gigs of their lifetime. We’ll talk highs, lows and everything in between. So come on, get stuck in and get to know each guest properly, through their love of music, whilst we have a right laugh, and try not to mention the state of the toilets. How to Gig is a Listening Dog Media production.
