<p>Billy McLaughlin has been one of my favourite finger style guitarists for many years. To my delight, I was able to hang out with him for 3 or 4 days when he came to Australia. What an incredible story he has, overcoming massive challenges to continue playing music. Things are not always easy, but the willingness to stick with it will take you far. </p>

Scotty B is a professional musician from Sydney, Australia. He's had his 15 seconds of fame, but most of the time he has been the guy making a living as a guitarist standing to the left or right of the spotlight. He's also played thousands of gigs in pubs, clubs, weddings, private functions, and more.  
He's seen a lot. Some good, some great, some awful, and some downright hilarious things that make people laugh when retold. 
As a musician, Scotty has worked at all levels of the industry. Professionally he has played rock, pop, jazz, blues, folk, country, classical, funk, ambient music and more. He has also been involved in hundreds of recording sessions that have ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. 
The podcast will be a reflection of all his experiences and stories. Whether you just want to be entertained, or want to learn more about making a living out of music (and not being a star) this podcast might be just what you are looking for!
In 2018, Scotty made international news by playing guitar continuously for 125 hours. he did this to raise money and awareness for the charity "Musicians Making a Difference". In 2023 he is planning to set the world record for the longest busking session, and in doing so, raise money for the Sydney Children's Hospital.
