Riding solo again on this one, and giving you a tour of the "studio". It's been a very long time since I recorded some actual music, so on today's episode I break that drought. It's a bit of a detailed tour through my tools and my process but hopefully it makes sense. And who knows, maybe someone who listens to this might learn something, or even better someone might be able to teach me something. Oh, can't forget today's shout outs: Joshua Lloyd and his mission to amass a #JLArmy: -- https://www.twitter.com/realjoshualloyd -- Factory Seconds have released a new single called "The Sleepwalkers", and they are playing The Waiting Room on Wednesday 27th June: -- https://www.twitter.com/factory2ndsband -- Thanks for listening.

Sigh.

This episode would not physically exist without the generosity of Starcrawler, hence the title. I saw them support Foo Fighters at London Stadium as part of their guestlist. It was the most surreal live music experience I've ever had. I mean, Shaun Keaveny was there! I ramble for what is quite possibly my longest intro yet, so skip to 19:00 to get to the conversations. The first of which is with Jo and Cath who are two very enthusiastic fans of Foo Fighters, and then with Shaun Keaveny who hosts the breakfast show on BBC 6 Music. Thank you to Cath ( -- https://www.instagram.com/lady_catherine_turner/ -- ), Jo ( -- https://www.twitter.com/jojotomo -- ), Shaun Keaveny ( -- https://www.twitter.com/shaunwkeaveny -- ), and of course: STARCRAWLER ( -- https://www.starcrawlermusic.com -- ). Also hello to Slaves ( -- https://www.youareallslaves.com -- ) and Free Money ( -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/FreeMoneyLovers/ -- ) who I managed to bump into at the show as well.

Today's episode was recorded at Harry Quinn's show at The Courtyard. I loved the performance. I'm in love with the venue. I'm in love with the neighbourhood. And I'm very sleep-deprived and excited, so before I ramble here as much as I ramble on this episode, let me list what you have to look forward to: Today's shout out: Hoxton Fish House on 59 Pitfield Street Today's guests: Paul Quinn: Harry Quinn's dad Dan Caleb: -- https://www.instagram.com/dancalebmusic -- Adam Kay: ukopenmic's Number One Fan Justin Grealy: -- https://www.soulsound.co.uk -- Harry Quinn: -- https://www.harryquinnmusic.com -- Ali Ajel: -- https://www.instagram.com/aliajelmusic -- Thank you to everyone I spoke to, both on and off the mic.

Today's episode was brought to you by Ken. He made me aware of the artist Loux, and it was Loux's performance that brought me to today's event. That event is part of Soho Music Monthly; every Thursday in June there is live music happening outdoors just off Carnaby Street. And today you'll hear me talk to some of the artists that performed (Loux and Effie), some of the people involved in the production (Isaac Charles and Scully), and some of the fans of the music (Delaney, Cee, and Jorge). Shout outs on this episode (courtesy of Delaney and Cee): -- https://www.instagram.com/ninaalexisofficial -- More on today's guests: Delaney: -- https://www.instagram.com/delaney1299 -- Scully: -- https://www.twitter.com/isthatscully -- Loux: -- https://www.instagram.com/louxsr -- Effie: -- https://www.instagram.com/effierecords -- PlatformLDN: -- https://www.instagram.com/platformldn -- Thank you to everyone that talked to me for the episode, and everyone that came out to support Loux. There was a lot of love in the crowd, and a lot of talent on the stage. I look forward to seeing what comes next. And of course, extra special thanks to Ken for bringing me into this in the first place. Thanks for listening.

Tuesday night's open mic brought some formidable talent, and today's guests were very much part of that. All of them were performing for this open mic for the first time, two of them are orignally from the USA (Chicago and New York), and I hope it won't be the last time I see them. Today's guests are: Craig Donovan -- https://www.craigdonovansongs.com -- Joey Costello -- https://www.joeycostello.com -- Ryan Barquilla -- https://www.soundcloud.com/ryanbarquilla -- Thank you very much folks!

I am my sister's number one fan. And she is a pretty big fan of Beyoncé. I've been wanting to talk to her for the podcast for the longest time, and getting her review of the Beyoncé and Jay Z show was a perfect opportunity. Many a laugh is shared as we reminisce on our histories with music, both shared and individual, so much so that the beefed up runtime of this episode is more than justified. Thanks Whitney!

A short and sweet episode today. On Sunday 10th June I actually dusted off my guitar and brought it with me to The Plough. So today's episode is me playing at the open mic with my own guitar for the first time in ages. It's a song that I have played numeroues times on this podcast, and the one that I want to be the first that I record and release in an official manner, so here is yet another incarnation of it.
