SADDESTNIGHTOUT

Today I speak to: Nathan, a tour manager who has worked with Louise in a different band. Gwen, sister of bassist Iona. Hojin and Josh, new fans of Novacub. Thank you to everyone for these very fun and very illuminating chats! Thanks for listening. Please consider dona...

Today's episode is all about the love; both for the band Fur, and for the making of music in general. The first people I speak to are Liam and Neanah, they are two newcomers to the UK Open Mic family and this was a chance to learn a little more about them. After that I went to see Fur headline (finally!) at Camden Assembly. And after their show I spoke briefly to: Harry, the lead guitarist of the...

A very brief episode here. I just talk about recording a rough sketch of an idea that was inspired by the song The Rover by Interpol, and then I share that sketch. Bada-bing bada-boom.

I've been a bucket of distraction of all day, and if nothing else this episode shows you how that sounds. I talk a little about watching artists perform live on TV, seeing early videos of bands before they get big, and I share a little more of my slow and painful process of recording. What more could you want? Today's shout out goes to Write-Along Movies. It's a very fun monthly event that is cele...

Brandon Palmer is a man on a mission, and he won't let no 9 - 5 stand in his way anymore. He'll be taking on some hosting duties at some of the open mics that I frequent, so after working with him on Sunday I stole a moment to talk about his plans for the future, and how - in his own way - It's Coming Home. You can get a front row seat to his rise and rise over at his website: -- https://www.thebr...

Keeana Kee is a pop music performer originally from Latvia. After meeting and performing with her at one of my open mic nights, she invited me to perform with her at the London Pride Festival on the Women's stage. I had never done anything like this before, and I am incredibly grateful to both Keeana and her wife and manager Alana for inviting me to join them on this amazing occasion. In this epis...

During Pride Festival I was particularly struck by the speech given by Peter Tatchell on behalf of the Peter Tatchell Foundation. They are a group that - in their words - seeks to promote and protect the human rights of individuals, communities and nations, in the UK and internationally. What caught my attention most about Peter's speech was who he had with him on stage: Espoir from Cameroon and S...

Saturday 7th July was ALMOST the day that I saw The Strokes for the first time, but it was definitely the day that I met Louise of shesfixingherhair.co.uk fame. There was a real rollercoaster of emotions felt at Dingwalls on this sweltering morning, and I just so happened to record the whole thing as it happened. So in this episode, inbetween talking to Louise and finding out more about her histor...

The conversation in this episode is with Kirsty Clarke who is a very evidently enthusiastic performer and creator. I'm very grateful to her for her time, and you can find out more about her and her work here: -- https://www.facebook.com/Kirsty. Clarke. Beating. Hearts -- And today's shoutouts include: FUR, who have a new single out called What Would I Do. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXZyDGw...

I've been meaning to catch up with Michael for a while, and he was well worth the wait. Our conversation in this episode was recorded outside The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington, where he was about to perform with his band Factory Seconds. You can find out more about that band here: -- https://www.instagram.com/factory2ndsband -- https://soundcloud.com/factory2ndsband -- Also on the bill were: Pri...

This one's coming to you from The Reliance pub on Old Street. After the show was over I managed to score a quick chat with Raf and Diana, who can be found at the following: Raf: -- https://www.instagram.com/palomohevilla -- Diana: -- https://www.instagram.com/dienne.deon -- And the shout out for today goes to friends of the podcast: Stairway To Kevin - -- https://www.stairwaytokevin.com -- Thanks...

Today's episode, my 18th recorded from an open mic, isn't from one of my own nights. This time I am at Roadtrip and The Workshop on Old Street. They have an open mic every Monday, and on this episode I talk to a few of the performers from last night's show, as well as the person that runs the show. But first The shout outs on this episode are Elizabeth Uviebinené and Yomi Adegoke. They are the aut...

Riding solo again on this one, and giving you a tour of the "studio". It's been a very long time since I recorded some actual music, so on today's episode I break that drought. It's a bit of a detailed tour through my tools and my process but hopefully it makes sense. And who knows, maybe someone who listens to this might learn something, or even better someone might be able to teach me something....

This episode would not physically exist without the generosity of Starcrawler, hence the title. I saw them support Foo Fighters at London Stadium as part of their guestlist. It was the most surreal live music experience I've ever had. I mean, Shaun Keaveny was there! I ramble for what is quite possibly my longest intro yet, so skip to 19:00 to get to the conversations. The first of which is with J...

Today's episode was recorded at Harry Quinn's show at The Courtyard. I loved the performance. I'm in love with the venue. I'm in love with the neighbourhood. And I'm very sleep-deprived and excited, so before I ramble here as much as I ramble on this episode, let me list what you have to look forward to: Today's shout out: Hoxton Fish House on 59 Pitfield Street Today's guests: Paul Quinn: Harry Q...

Today's episode was brought to you by Ken. He made me aware of the artist Loux, and it was Loux's performance that brought me to today's event. That event is part of Soho Music Monthly; every Thursday in June there is live music happening outdoors just off Carnaby Street. And today you'll hear me talk to some of the artists that performed (Loux and Effie), some of the people involved in the produc...

Today's shoutouts are: James Woodall: -- https://www.twitter.com/jamesbwoodall -- Kelechi Okafor: -- https://www.twitter.com/kelechiokafor -- And in today's episode you'll hear me talk to members of: Brand New Friend: -- https://www.instagram.com/brandnewfriendz -- Guesser: -- https://www.i...

Tuesday night's open mic brought some formidable talent, and today's guests were very much part of that. All of them were performing for this open mic for the first time, two of them are orignally from the USA (Chicago and New York), and I hope it won't be the last time I see them. Today's guests are: Craig Donovan -- https://www.craigdonovansongs.com -- Joey Costello -- https://www.joeycostello.c...

I am my sister's number one fan. And she is a pretty big fan of Beyoncé. I've been wanting to talk to her for the podcast for the longest time, and getting her review of the Beyoncé and Jay Z show was a perfect opportunity. Many a laugh is shared as we reminisce on our histories with music, both shared and individual, so much so that the beefed up runtime of this episode is more than justified. Th...
