In this episode, we unearth the ridiculous, hilarious and heart-warming tale of Charlie Barnes turning from "fan to man”... told via approximately 568 swear words and his heroes, Mike Vennart and Steve Durose of Oceansize.

Due to Charlie’s relentless dedication to the band, a whole host of unbelievable occurrences have taken place over the past 17 years; from playing onstage with a member, being signed to the same label, even having one of the band produce his album, and finally reaching career equilibrium as touring musicians respectively for chart-toppers Bastille and Biffy Clyro.

As well as a hell of a lot of ‘pinch me’ moments, we explore the profound effect fan and band have on each other, still to this day. Turns out sending that letter to your idol could actually change their perspective on a song, and getting that tattoo of their lyrics might just end up making their day 15 years later, while they watch you on-stage at Glastonbury... Wild!
