I first met Millie Manders ten years ago. I saw her performing at a Scroobius Pip Presents night in Camden, and I was so impressed I invited her to come and record an interview and live session for my short lived Punk Show on the equally short lived Team Rock Radio. Since then, I've watched Millie build her career up from scratch and grind away as a successful solo independent artist on the UK punk scene. In this podcast, we talk about the realities, struggles and rewards that come with that territory, and the resulting conversation is a super honest account of life as an independent UK artist, and the ways in which Millie has been able to sustain a full-time career in music. We also discuss the changes in the music industry - both good and bad - over the last ten years, and Millie's full range of musical tastes and influences. Be sure to pick up her new album, Wake Up, Shut Up, Work, which is out now!!!
