Merry Christmas! It’s time for another Christmas Special and we’ve roped in old friends and returning guests Josh Rowe and Elliott Joseph for some festive fun. Whilst we look back at 2025 and ahead to 2026 we discuss what we think are the ‘coolest’ instruments, which tribute act we’d hate to play in, envy when watching gigs, learning piano and Josh’s book of band names. Hope you all have a great Christmas! Enjoy!

Your birthday, a gig and a trip to Scotland… which two would you choose? Well George has all three coming up this weekend. But before that we chat about the winter gig blues; leaving the house when it’s dark, complacency, set list order and the worst version on Numb by Linkin Park ever played. Ben’s also been back to hospital to have a discogram performed on his spine and launched his new website drumcharts.co.uk where you can purchase digital versions of his one-page PDF drum charts. Enjoy!
