On this week’s show we’re discussing the bold statement from Bernard Purdie about his involvement with The Beatles, the demise of GAK and Lynx Africa and a trip to hospital from eating too much beef. There’s also an unconventional method of reducing overtones with your floor tom, learning ‘Iris’ by the Goo Goo Dolls and clients calling at unsociable hours. Enjoy!

We start this week's episode with a little help from our future machine overlords; they might destroy us all but before that they can help write lesson plans. We also have some correspondence about trombone solos, drum phonetics and musical gifts. George started rehearsals with a new Lainey Wilson tribute act and Ben gets passionate about dynamics. There’s also time for some London based cajon chat and a memorable performance at Buckingham Palace. Enjoy!

Lots of random chat from us this week including Douglas from the Lurpak adverts (proving why trombones are better than saxophones), Mr Soft, Ben’s similarities to Marcus Rashford and entering the world of Freecycle. George has been teaching back at primary schools and finally managed to eat before a gig. Enjoy!

It’s episode 172 in this series of immaculately edited podcasts and there’s plenty to get through. George took a trip to ‘medley town’ in a recent gig as well as an actual trip by having to cycle two hours to his first day at a new teaching job due to his car’s MOT expiring. Ben’s had a lovely new door fitted for the new studio, been busy on the trombone and had to dig deep to make some cups of tea. Enjoy!

Today we’re chatting about Ben’s recent gig with Freshman Year and his analysis of the clientele and George learns a valuable lesson by not practicing. There’s also Hamlet, Meghan Markle’s jam, stinky dressing gowns and Ben’s booked his wedding…in LAS VEGAS! Enjoy!

On this week’s show after discussing what George’s life will be like in his 50s he gives us a run down of his three recent, and very different, gigs. We also chat about nerves and what creates them, playing cajon in the nude and George catches the ‘Birdman of Brighton’ in the act. Enjoy!

Cool your drink with some smashed frozen water; it’s time to talk about George’s double gig at Icebreaker. Before we do though we get through some varied listener correspondence and the financial implications of owning a horse. George gives us a rundown of his busy weekend with two shows back to back, another birthday party and rehearsal and Ben’s been clearing up Billy’s path of destruction! Enjoy!
