SADDESTNIGHTOUT

Afia Lorraine tells us about the making of her wonderful debut EP "Drift Away" on this episode and also makes her long-awaited return to the podcast (Episode 26 was the first time she was here). You can find her EP on other streaming platforms from 22nd July, but for now you can listen to it here:-- https://soundcloud.com/afialorraine --And the organization that helped her work with her producer i...

It's another post-open-mic-group-chat on this episode, but with all new guests. And those guests are:-- Cement Ship -- https://www.instagram.com/cementship -- -- Adam Wedd -- https://www.instagram.com/adamwedd -- -- Laura-Jayne Meades -- https://www.instagram.com/elljayymusic --Many a laugh is shared, as well as some potential million-dollar ideas, but mostly it's a chance to welcome more members...

Pete is one hell of a chap, which is why finding out that he might be leaving town soon was a little sad to hear. The least I could do was record a podcast episode to commemorate our time together, so that's exactly what I did. To keep up with Pete, and wherever his travels may take him, you can find him at: -- https://www.instagram.com/peterichy_ --Thanks Pete, and thank you all for listening.--...

Thank you to everyone who took part in the shows I mention on this episode. Felt strange to get back on the mic here (as it always does after a break), so I'm just sharing what's on my mind on this one.--Take Care--

Kenneth is the most recent addition to my band, and last night was our first rehearsal together. I had a great time playing with him, and an equally great time recording this conversation after our rehearsal. We only briefly mentioned his art but you can check it out on his instagram: -- https://www.instagram.com/mrthis --As for the other wonderful people I mentioned on this episode, you can find...

Steve is a bit of a regular at Kafri Studios, and this was recorded after his Sunday Morning rehearsal. Considering this is his first appearance hear, it's clear that he's a natural on the mic. Thank you Steve, and I hope you all enjoy this chat. You can find him on SoundCloud here: — https://soundcloud.com/user-590175890 — Take Care.

Grace is a large part of the reason why it's been so great to do the open mic at The Nelson's, and this episode was recorded after her last shift there. So I thought I'd say goodbye to her in my own special way, by recording a podcast with her. Goodbye Grace, and thanks for everything. Have fun on your travels! As for me, I'll be sticking around. Don't forget, I have two shows coming up in the nea...

Sam Belcher - Drumming Extraordinaire - invited me to Bang HQ for the chat we had in this episode. What followed was an insightful look at the path that drumming has carved for him in the world of music. Thanks Sam for having me, and here's where you can find out more about him: -- https://www.bangdrumlessons.com -- https://thehapennies.bandcamp.com --Thank you all for listening. Go and listen to...

I describe Jack Mann as an electric presence on the stage, and I wholeheartedly stand by that statement. If that alone isn't enough to get you to check him out, then maybe this episode will do the trick. Consider this a window into the mind of a thoughtful, articulate, and passionate artist who is only just getting started. Thank you very much for your time Jack, and do be sure to check him out at...

Today's guest is Tylar Gilbert. Our introduction is proof that sometimes it pays off to take a risk, and his story paints a picture of someone who is driven, ambitious, and out to get all that they can from this city. There was many a pearl of wisdom for me to learn from our talk, and I'm very grateful that he took the time to join me for this episode. You can see more of Tylar on his Instagram: -...

Andres and his attitude towards new music and live music is the stuff of legend. By the time you finish listening to this episode, I'm sure you'll agree (I mean, 11 shows in 1 week! ELEVEN!). You can see some of what he is talking about for yourself on his youtube channel:-- https://www.youtube.com/andunemir --Thank you Andres, I'll try not to leave it too long before we see each other again. And...

Hayley Solas is a tremendous presence to have on an open mic, and she is equally tremendous as a guest on a podcast. Making her debut here on SADDESTNIGHTOUT, we had our talk in the basement of The Nelsons pub after my open mic night there. If you find yourself wanting to know more about her, you can find her on instagram under : -- https://www.instagram.com/hayleysolasmusic --And while you're at...

This episode is my first time using Skype, and who better to help me enter this new frontier than today's guest: Ant Henson. He is a man of many talents, most of which he tells us about, and he has many a project on the go. Here is where you can find some of them:Hamlet this weekend: -- https://www.tickettailor.com/events/60hourshakespeare/259511 --Spotify: -- https://open.spotify.com/artist/10Q2l...

I first met Marianne-Rose when I performed with Unique Technique and spoke to him for episode 152. I only spoke to her briefly then but she kindly agreed to meet up with me in Forest Hill to join me for an episode. I don't have much experience with open mics and live music "south of the river", so this whole day was an eye-opener. Thank you very much to Marianne-Rose for her time. You can find her...

After yet another break from posting episodes, I thought I'd take a moment to remind myself of the mission statement behind this project. I thought it would only be about 5 minutes, it ended up being around 25. I guess I had more to get off of my chest than I thought. Thank you for listening, and I'll catch you on the next episode. Take Care.

Please welcome the two newest members of the SADDESTNIGHTOUT family: Reece Devaney and Jay Coletti. They weren't able to perform at last night's open mic at The Nelsons, but I was able to introduce them to all of you on this episode. Jay doesn't really exist online yet, but you can find more of Reece by searching his name on YouTube. Here's one gem in particular: -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=exnxfmy...

My intro doesn't do this episode justice, because this episode is definitely in the top 5 for me. But I'm running late so hopefully you'll hear what I mean for yourselves. Today's guests are: Bertie: -- https://www.instagram.com/bertiebaileymusic -- On Video: -- https://www.instagram.com/onvideoband -- Thank you to all of the bands and Brixton Windmill.

Country Al is a powerhouse of a performer at our open mic nights, and even though he tends to go on first he is guaranteed to leave an impression. Today we find out a little more about how Country Al became Country Al. And - for now at least - I'm afraid there is no online destination for you to find him. So the best thing you can do is seek him out at one of our open mic nights ( -- https://www.u...

Thank you to Ben ( -- https://www.instagram.com/ben_todd_nelsons -- ) for being today's guest and for welcoming our open mic nights to your amazing pub ( -- https://www.instagram.com/thenelsonspub -- ).
