This episode focuses on 1977 by Ash, released on Infectious Records in 1996. Tim Wheeler joins me to talk about: the band's earliest days, recording demo tapes, signing to Infectious, recording with Owen Morris in Rockfield, the writing process of the songs on 1977, supporting Therapy? and Babes in Toyland, revising for A-Levels while doing press interviews, the rollercoaster of touring between 1995 and 1997, playing small clubs and eventually headlining the Point Depot, the culture shock of touring in Japan, performing 'Girl From Mars' on Top of the Pops, the success of 1977 and its singles, the 'Give Peace a Chance' concert before the Belfast Agreement Referendum and much, much more. Episode notes are here.
