Josh is a multi-instrumentalist, song writer and composer and the founder member of The Chaps who play extensively in the UK and in Europe. Josh talks about his experience of playing and interestingly of being in college in the UK studying music and there is an interesting section about ‘networking’ and how it is ‘taught’ on such courses. I think Josh really nails how net6working should and should not be done. Check out the videos on YouTube these guys are really good and amazingly creative.

Today I am interviewing Rob Hudson, Bass player, teacher and YouTuber on or should I say in his Bass Garage. Rob has an interesting story of touring extensively and then giving it all up and then after a while playing again and using music to help him overcome health issues. I resonate with this and you will find this an interesting chat, very enlightening.
