Todays episode moves a few stops up the Met Line where i've reconnected with legendary Dj and gig promoter - Pearse Grady.

Many bands from Watford would have played at Trinity Bar in Harrow on the Hill, and the scene and local following Pearse helped build echoed what was happening in our own town.

Like me, Pearse was tracking up and coming bands on myspace, and creating great shows that showcased local bands with up and coming artists. A feather in his cap is that during this time he booked the first shows performed by Kate Nash, Dan Le Sac and Bastille. He was also instrumental in helping FKA Twigs and there are some lovely stories in the pod about all of the above.

Not only did he provide a stage for bands that went on to become legendary, but he had the likes of Billy Bragg, Edwyn Collins, The Cribs, Example and Bombay Bicycle Club on that tiny stage in Harrow.

Its a great listen!
