Apologies, I know it's been a while, I've been soooo busy!

You may be aware (I've mentioned on the pod a few times now) that I manage a band, The High Flats, well we've been mega busy organising and promoting their headline show at King Tuts, Glasgow last Thursday (04.07.24) It was a class night, with some class bands and the boys will be coming on the podcast very soon to introduce themselves, I guarantee you'll love them!

So, I have been recording episode's but hadn't found time to get them out and with me nipping off on my holidays soon I thought I should get these recordings out to you so between now (Sunday 07.07.24) and Wednesday (10.07.24) I'm releasing an episode a day, a quadruple of podcasting gold for yer ears to get in about!

Here goes!

Brian Grogan is an Irish Singer-Songwriter based in London, he's came through the same open mic scene that brought up Ed Sheeran and Passenger and he's here to tell us all about his career as well as his battle with vocal nodules, and when he wasn't talking about that he was dropping WORLD EXCLUSIVES!!!

And when he wasn't doing that he was choosing heroes!

Hope you all enjoy, check out Brian's links below:

Wow!

Where to start with Ian Wills, a truly phenomenal man, seemingly destined for a life of crime and addiction, Ian turned his life around, from a last chance job in a butchers to becoming Thatcher's nemesis, then onto writing poetry that would eventually become Wills & The Willing.

4 studio albums in with another due out on 05.07.24 'Another Long Week' feature's a co-write with The Boss, one of many name drops you'll hear in this episode, recorded over two days (you might be able to spot the change halfway through)

Ian plays Isle Of Wight Festival on Saturday (22.06.24) with his gig at London St Pancras Old Church (mentioned in the podcast) has been rescheduled for 02.10.24

Check out all Ian's link below and stay tuned for the new album out next month!

Fresh of the back of The Blonde Parade episode, I'm back with another!

Jack Valero releases his latest single 'Karaoke Dreams' this Friday (07.06.24) as part of an EP which follows in September, so i wanted to get this episode out now, on the EP Jack has been working with Jamie Webster and the rest of the scouse wrecking crew and what they have produced is some of Jack's catchiest tunes too date, be sure to check it out as soon as you've finished listening to this chat!

If you ain't aware, Jack is the son of another famous troupadour, Billy Bragg and we discussed how Jack had to find his own identity whilst also struggling with OCD. Jack spoke with fascinating insight into both subjects plus loads more as well as choosing his heroes too!
