Nicole's art form of choice is her dancing, but she isn't looking for an audience to watch her work. For her it's much more personal, and considering this podcast is mostly filled with people who have something to promote, I thought it would be interesting to hear from someone who isn't looking for a stage. Thank you Nicole for your time, thank you all for listening, and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care --

Moon Williams graced me with his presence once again, this time to continue his story and also to ruminate on his career as a whole. I remain enormously grateful to Moon for his time and his candour, and I look forward to seeing many more of his performances in the future. Thank you all for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one -- Take Care --

Gimel Hooper was the surprise headliner at last night's open mic, and since he was only in town for a short period of time I simply had to seize my chance to talk with him. This is a talk with someone who has spent a lifetime honing and appreciating their craft, which is why they can speak in such riveting detail about what it is they do. You can find Gimel online at: -- www.instagram.com/gimels_media/ -- as well as: -- www.instagram.com/friday_night_live_comedy/ -- Thank you Gimel, and thank you all for listening. -- Take Care --

Mary C. Parker performed her comedy at one of my open mics for the first time maybe an hour before we had this chat. After seeing her perform, and talking to her for this episode, I really hope it won't be the last time we cross paths. You can find more of her online at: -- www.instagram.com/maryc.parker/ -- and her improv group at: -- www.hooplaimpro.com/BAME -- Thank you Mary for your time, and thank you all for listening. -- Take Care --

Pete Buckley's enthusiasm for performing is growing exponentially, and I'm very grateful that I could play a part in his return to music.

Dan Caleb is a London-based singer-songwriter ( -- www.instagram.com/dancalebmusic -- ), Rob Comba is the host of the podcast "My Favourite Elliott Smith Song" ( -- www.myfavouriteelliottsmithsong.com/ -- ), and by their powers combined they put together last night's celebration of Elliott Smith on what would have been his 50th birthday. The night was also a fundraiser for the charity Help Musicians UK ( -- www.helpmusicians.org.uk -- ) These two folks are amazing, the whole night was amazing, and I'm terribly grateful that I could be part of it all. Thank you Dan and Rob for everything, and I hope you all enjoy this chat. -- Take Care --

Joss, Matt, and Tom first crossed my radar at my Monday open mic in Camden back in around September 2018, so it was a very pleasant surprise to find them at this show too. I'm glad they also remembered me, and I'm glad they agreed to have a little chat with me for the podcast too. Their's is a slightly different approach to assembling a band, but it is definitely working for them. You can see more of what they get up to at: -- www.instagram.com/jossmogli/ -- and there is a clip of their performance at the end of this episode. Thank you all for listening, thank you to Joss Mogli for joining me, and I'll catch you all on the next one. -- Take Care --

Rose White & Jack are long awaited guests on this podcast, and they also happen to be playing my next live event at Roadtrip and The Workshop on Tuesday 20th August. I travelled to west London for this chat, The Half Moon in Putney to be precise, where Rose White & Jack were performing as part of the New Moon Mondays that they have there. This chat was a great chance to find out how Rose and Jack both came to London, and how they found each other. If you want to see more of them you can find them at: -- www.facebook.com/osrodkaaa -- and there's a clip of their performance at the end of this episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, feel free to let me know what you think, and I'll catch you all on the next one. -- Take Care --

Last week was all about my 2nd show and my podcast appointments. This week is all about getting online, preparing for the next show, and having plenty of people to talk to for the podcast. There's also a look at the numbers for last week, which are very different considering we have entered a new month. And I actually remember to talk about other people's shows and releases too. Thank you for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care --
