The one where we meet a charming man, who has a finger in many pies.
You can be forgiven for not recognising the name Tim Lobley, but we reckon you will be aware of many of the things he is involved with. As with many people in the music instrument industry, he arrived here largely by accident, and as an alternative to continuing with his proper job
It begins with a music shop, and a vision to build a boutique guitar outlet, and nearly twenty years on it has taken him on a journey that has involved pick-ups, multiple different guitar brands and some interesting guitar tech.

The one where we talk to a living, breathing example of everything just working itself out perfectly.
We have been very lucky on 9-42 that we have got to meet some really smashing people, right at the top of their game and as it turns out John Wines, aka The Old Grey Guitarist, fits neatly into that description.
This is a heart-warming story, full of joy, and proof that good things happen to good people. We aren't going to say anything more than that - just sit back and enjoy, because this is a belter.

The one where we both got to chat with Mike.
If you have been with since the start then you will know that we have talked to Grammy Award winning Producer & Engineer Mike Exeter before, in a pre-COVID world, and also in a cloakroom
For those of you that aren't aware, Mike has worked with the likes of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi, Judas Priest, Cradle of Filth & UB40, and always has a story to tell about the people he has encountered in his thirty years in the music industry.
So when he invited us down for a face-to-face at Gospel Oak studios we were there in a heartbeat. What a great way to kickstart Season 4!

The one where we find out a lot about merch.
There was never much doubt about what Rebecca wanted to do when she grew up. Playing and gigging from an early age, she performed her own material influenced by a wide range of artists.
And to be honest she has never looked back, even picking her degree course to fit in with her playing schedule.
We get into all of that and more, in a great conversation with Rebecca about all aspects of her musical journey.

The one where we talk about how writing songs can resemble a visit to Yo Sushi!
One of the things that is so enjoyable about the people we chat to on 9-42, is the unique nature of a modern career in the music industry.
Take Craig, his first band Romeo's Daughter end up having their debut album produced by the legendary Mutt Lange, at a point in time when he was the hottest ticket in town. Not a bad start, particularly as the two of them then went onto to pen a platinum tune for the American band Heart.
But then his career took a complete sideways turn, as you are about to find out.

The one where we were supposed to talk a little bit more about guitars.
If you are a West Bromwich Albion fan (as Jason is) then you are probably now doing a bit of a double-take, as you read the name of our most current 9-42 guest. Peter has near-legendary status both on and off the field for the Baggies, but that is just a scratch on the surface of his remarkable story.
Which is why when we found out that he would be attending the Guitar Show this year, we arranged a meet and asked him if he fancied a chat on air. And fortunately for us he not only said yes, but it turns out he really knows how to natter.

The one where we found out why Blair never eats his tea at the table.
What can we say about Blair Dunlop, well lets start with the fact that neither of us knew a great deal about him before his appearance at The Guitar Show this year, other than he plays a bit, writes a bit, and sings songs.
All that changed as a result of two seismic events, a legendary set on the live stage on Sunday lunchtime at the show, and an equally legendary podcast session that pretty much covered everything from Christopher Lee, to what is (and isn't) acceptable to wear at a folk festival.
Oh, and in case you don't pick up on it, Blair has a new album out (...and it really is rather special).

The one where we talked about Stetsons and Resonators.
You have probably been wondering where we have been for the last few weeks, and you know what that is a really good question. So good in fact that we decided we needed to ask it out loud.
Cue a mildly entertaining (if very predictable) story of plane rides and palm trees, bunk-beds and butterscotch, and plenty of other reasons why we have found ourselves episode light, and time-poor.
We will try harder, we promise.

The one where we drag Pete away from his birthday cake.
We have spoken to a lot of artists over the last three years or so of doing 9-42, but there aren't many who can say that they have been with their current band for over forty years. Pete was drafted into Marillion in 1982, just at the point where they were about to break through and become one of the most influential prog-rock outfits since.
We had a great chat about his early years in the band, the impact of mainstream chart success and how they went form being a product of the orthodox record industry model, to the trailblazers of crowdfunding and musical self-sufficiency.
And that's before we get to his insatiable work-ethic, and numerous side projects.

The one where we talked about the mechanics of surname pronunciation.
John Connearn was one of the highlights from the Live Stage at the Guitar Show last year, as you would expect his performance was flawless - but what really impressed was an assured and confident delivery that held the attention of the room without ever dropping a beat.
So it was a pleasure to be able to spend a little bit of time with him, and unpick his career path to this point. As you would expect Andertons is a big part of it, but there are many other layers that help you understand how he has come this far in a relatively short space of time.
And the good news is that he will be back again for the Show this year, so well worth considering if you didn't catch him last time around.
