Hello People! Welcome to the When In Yorkshire Podcast, I hope you’re well very well. We have another rescued episode and one that I genuinely thought had been lost forever. This is episode sixty four and features Katie and Thom from the now chart topping band The Lottery Winners.

We had a chat in York whilst they were on tour with the also chart topping Frank Turner.

Before speaking to Kate and Thom, I kept hearing about The Lottery Winners as they just seemed to be constantly supporting a huge range of bands which in itself isn’t unusual for a band that loves playing live and will take every opportunity to get in-front of new crowds but the fact that all of these bands raved about how great they were made me take more notice.

Then after checking out the tour diary from their dates with Tom Jones as well as the video for Start Again, featuring Frank, I was pretty hooked and then there was the Knickelback Rockstar sea shanty. At that point they joined the list of hopeful future guests. All I can say is they did not disappoint, I enjoy all of these chats but I don’t think I’ve laughed as much in a recording as I did in this so I apologise but it was loads of fun and The Lottery Winners are an absolute force live. As many of you who bought the Anxiety Replacement Therapy album confirmed, they write great songs but it is out in the wild where they really come to life and I strongly recommend getting to a show.

We chatted about their influences and the albums and artists that inspired them and Thom’s desire to be Freddie Mercury which, from their social media it seems he’s dug out his childhood costume.

This was a pleasure to record and I hope you enjoy listening.

Hello people! Welcome to the when in Yorkshire podcast I hope you’re all well. This is episode 63 and another episode that has rescued from the digital abyss where is was being held captive for the past 12 months and I’m very excited to finally release it. This episode features guitarist Will McGonagle of Symposium and Hell Is For Heroes. Before I get into this episode I will shout out that Hell Is For Heroes are about to go out on tour hitting

Bristol Fleece 3rd April

Glasgow Garage 4th April

Manchester Academy 5th April

London Electric Ballroom 6th April

There are limited tickets still left for most dates so got on your internets and buy em.

As a bonus treat, previous guest Tom Campbell will be working his light based magic and make them look awesome too.

Whilst all the guests I have on here are people I think have interesting stories and I’m generally a fan of their work, every now and then I’m lucky enough to spend time with someone whose work has had a significant impact on me and this is absolutely one of these times. I enjoyed Symposium when they were first around and have certainly developed a greater appreciation for what a force they were, especially live but Hell Is For Heroes had a huge influence on me as a musician and were / still are one of my favourite bands to see live. I’m please to report that based on spending an hour with him, Will is a fricking delightful person and I would go for a curry with him. The list of gigs he attended back in the early to mid 90’s is amazing and was great hearing about his experiences with record labels as well as many other stories.

Enjoy.

Hello people, welcome to the When In Yorkshire Podcast I hope you’re all well. Now that the episodes have been recovered there’s going to be a whole load that were recorded a while back and this is a great way to kick them off. Episode sixty two featuring the Andy - current bass master with raging speedhorne, previously rocking guitar with Freeze the Atlantic and of course bassist in Hundred Reasons.

This was recorded a year ago as Hundred Reasons were on tour with Hell Is For Heroes and My Vitriol prior to the release of Glorious Sunset which has just turned 1!

I spent a large amount of the 00’s listening to and going to see Hundred Reasons and covering some of their tracks - in fact the same is applicable for the other bands on that tour. For me they were a big influence in terms of the music I was writing and whilst their debut Ideas Above Our Station was a standout album, I really loved everything they released - so I was a little hesitant (albeit quite excited too) when I heard they were releasing new music but from the listen of the first single and title track, Glorious Sunset, I was absolutely hooked again. If you haven’t heard the album all the way through, or in fact if you haven’t listened to it all this year, please do. It’s genuinely great and has back on rotation for me throughout February.

Andy was delightful to chat to and despite having to keep the volume down due to a sleep driver below us on their bus, we covered a whole range of topics and it was great to hear about his introduction to music as well as how the latest album came to be.

Before we get into this episode, if you’re also wanting a real in depth series of interviews about Hundred Reasons featuring all members of the band - I can highly recommend Live Fast, Die Ugly: The Hundred Reasons Podcast and I’ve put a link in the description of this episode.
