EP 5 Peace, Love, Mustard (& Home-grown Courgettes) w/ JOHN MCMUSTARD 

In the fifth episode of the Sonnet Youth Podcast, Cat Hepburn (@CatHepburnWrite) and Kevin P Gilday (@KevinPGilday) chat to their pal JOHN MCMUSTARD, a musician, addictions nurse and frontman of the country’s favourite festival band and Barrowland Hall of Famers, COLONEL MUSTARD & the DIJON 5 (championed by 6 Music and Radio Scotland).

-----------------

Glitterballs, yellow suits and not taking yourself too seriously - expect the unexpected in the Dijonverse! From John’s work with the NHS, to playing to crowds of adoring fans all over the world, fun, laughter and making people feel good are at the heart of everything that he does. The trio discuss John’s life-long love of music, his messiest festival stories and his career highs. His unique journey to becoming the Colonel involved drafting in musicians and friends he’s known since primary school and experimenting with themed nights, face paints and different styles. John’s one of a kind, and their conversation will leave you with a smile on your face - not least because of the three tracks he shares: ‘Ted Danson (Colonel Mustard & the Dijon 5)’, ‘Sun Goddess’ (Shelltoe Mel feat John McMustard)’ and ‘Scottish Swimmer / German Efficiency (John McMustard)’.
