This week on Rockonteurs, we are delighted to welcome Luke Pritchard from The Kooks to the show.

The Kooks were formed in Brighton in the mid 00s and their 2006 debut album ‘Inside In, Inside Out’ sold 2 million copies in the UK alone. Their follow up ‘Konk’ was another UK No.1 album and they are enjoying a new resurgence as social media has made them a generations new favourite band again. Luke joins Gary and Guy to talk about his influences from Dylan to the Stones, how success so early on in their career was a double-edged sword, how he once kicked Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkey’s in the face at a gig and embarrassed himself in front of a Beatle! 

Never / Know is the new album from The Kooks and is out on May 9th. 

Find out more about the album here: https://thekooks.lnk.to/NeverKnowAlbumSR
