This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome actor, director and horror fan Dominic Brunt to the show.

We also chat welding and drama school, life on a long‑running soap, making low‑budget horror and zombie films, Romanian bear rescues and accidentally saving a lion. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to Oh! Brother. This week we are thrilled to welcome friend of the show Daren Garrett through our virtual doors. A whistle-stop tour through some iconic post punk bands, the guys discuss Daren's time with Pram, The Nightingales, The Fall and his current projects, including the coining of the phrase Dubabilly (exact spelling tbc). Perhaps the only man to turn down 2 invitations to join the group, Daren was a member of the Fall from 2013 - 2015, and featured in the now iconic Glastonbury performance and was part of a brilliant 2 drummer line up with Keiron Melling. Big thanks to Daren for joining us this week, hope you enjoy!
