MY 90s MUSIC PODCAST

This week I talk to Iwan Gronow, solo artist and band member with Johnny Marr, Sea Fever and Haven

Corduroy are an English four-piece acid jazz outfit based in London, formed around twins Ben Addison (drums/vocals) and Scott Addison (keyboards/vocals), who were previously in Sire Records act Boys Wonder (Scott had been guitarist with Boys Wonder, while Ben had been the lead vocalist).[1] Joining the twins in the band are Richard Searle and guitarist Simon Nelson-Smith. Searle had been bass player with Doctor and the Medics, who topped the UK Singles Chart in 1986 with a cover version of "Spirit in the Sky". Searle had joined the Addison twins in the final incarnation of Boys Wonder, before the band gradually evolved into Corduroy in 1991, initially forming for a one-off New Year's Eve party.

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - the podcast where I talk to the people who lived, loved and were in the eye of the storm of the best decade ever - the glorious 90s.

Today I speak to a real special guest - Mark Bedford who is a founding member and bass player of Madness

Coming into the 90s was a really interesting time for Madness as they approached the decade differently which had great results. They found a new passion, new energy and new fanbase by pioneering the all day festival which was called Madstock in Finsbury Park. This was one of the first of its kind and we have them to thank them for any day or weekend festival we go to for laying out that blueprint. Madstock 92 saw Madness headline but had huge supporting acts such as Flowered Up, Gallon Drunk, Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Morrissey.

Madness also released a host of live albums and compilations which further embraced them into the bosoms for Indie Kids, 80s kids and all music fans across the world.

OUTRO

Wow - imagine one of the founder members and bass player of Madness taking the time to chat to us. What an honour. A real gent. Thanks to Mark Bedford for sharing his 90s experience. And a huge shout out to Katy M for connecting us also. Massive thanks.

Do follow @madnessnews on twitter to see what they are up and do yourself a favor - grab a drink tonight and get some Madness on - maybe the Madstock Live album - you will feel 100% better for doing that.

Thanks so much for listening to this episode. I hope that it filled you with as much joy, nostalgia and happiness that it did for me.

Today I have the pleasure of being IN A ZOOM with Nigel Clark from Dodgy and who is an incredible singer, songwriter and solo artist in his own right (sorry I nicked title from something Nigel is doing as a virtual Q and A).

I had a great time chatting to Nigel and we cover his 90s experience all the way to talking about punk, the 60s bands of Laurel canyon and playing guitar soon with Toyah who lives across the road from him.

But, we kick off getting settled into the interview talking about the times we are living now and why the 1980s and 90s were a simply, possibly better time for so many reasons.

General of The Boon Army, DJ, Podcaster and Inspiral Carpets keyboard hero is in the house.

A superb and insightful chat with Composer, ex Stone Roses, ex Ian Brown collaborator, ex Simply Red and ex Asia and one of the greatest guitarists of our generation Aziz Ibrahim. I am stunned at Aziz's savvy and the career he has had and still plenty of adventures for him to experience including his first foray into Merchandise through his M13 label.

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - the podcast where I talk to the people who lived, loved and were in the eye of the storm of the best decade ever - the glorious 90s.

Today I speak to Scottish and Indie national treasure Duglas T. Stewart who is the founding meber and frontman of BMX Bandits. It is a lovely hour of chatting through Duglas’s 90s and what it meant to him including having a full Japanese backing band and touring Japan, getting signed to Creation Records by Alan McGee, Having Oasis as a third on the bill support band and what he thought of them when he saw them in live action, collaborating with the members of Teenage Fanclub, Soup Dragons and Superstar. We also chat about what Duglas is up to now - from being a quiz master on his weekly online quiz (which you can find at www.facebook.com/GlitteratiShow/, new single with Anton Newcombe and Hifi Sean
