Game Changing Podcast

“There should never be a barrier between making music and not making music.”

For the last ten or so years, the words This Is The Kit have meant the inspirational songwriting, rewarding albums and endlessly listenable vocals of Kate Stables. Together with bassist Rozi Plain, Kate sat down to talk to Tim in the summer of 2019, a few days after a great Glastonbury performance. They discussed gigging, recording, writing and the burning question of which other countries they might like to hail from, if not from the UK. Contains one very small swear word (entirely Tim's fault).

Here's a playlist of some great TITK tracks and a couple of Rozi's too

“If Paul and John can be in the same band, then me and you can be the same band” - Dave Brewis

This episode of Game Changing features a conversation between Tim and Sunderland-based band Field Music.

Brothers Peter and David Brewis have been trading under the name Field Music since 2005, when they released their debut, eponymous album for Memphis Industries. Since then they’ve released a further five full studio LPs, including 2012’s Plumb, which was nominated for a Mercury Prize. In 2018 the band were commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to make a sound and light show to commemorate some aspects of the end of the First World War; this project formed the basis of their upcoming 2020 album Making A New World.

Here's our Field Music playlist
