Stephen, lead guitarist from Massive Wagons, pops in to chat about Promanade Music. Every great City has a cool guitar shop where you can buy (or try) out an axe worthy of your calibre. If you're from Lancaster you generally make the trek to a town also known as the home of rock. Morecambe, rock.

The iconic shop has a long and interesting history, we discuss it. We also discuss Massive Wagons, one of The City of Lancaster's most successful musical exports.

This charismatic chap is an interesting new voice on the #LancasterMusicScene

With the promise of recorded material on the way we chat about what it's like to decide to go out into our City armed only with a guitar and some tunes. Turns out it's quite fun.

Lucas Willaims has a talent that goes way beyond his years. A confident performer in a crowded pub on a Wednesday night, this chat is him right after he finished his gig. The description of his music on his Spotify page puts it in context: "I started gigging at various events and venues at age 12 and more recently I've been out on the streets busking." His studio work is excellent, we suggest you suppliment this podcast with a binge.

David Frederick wears many hats, but we think "Jackson and Young" might end up being the thing that propels him to an even larger audience than his work already commands. Make sure you check that out, link at the bottom of these notes.

Engaging company, as you'll hear, David has made a name for himself by both doing unusual and eclectic work online, while in real life frequently showing he can entertain and please any crowd he likes.

Applause also for the work he does at the local open mic and his solo work, which gets a mention in the podcast. And the Soundcloud account he uses to document the live music sessions he hosts, that's here: https://soundcloud.com/dfsoundwaves
