Scotch Sessions

Our first session in 2.5 years sees us joined by good mate from England, Jon Kidd. Despite being a Man United fan, he has great taste in music and loves the podcast so what better way to reward him by having his show us his ten best for his life’s journey. Enjoy!

With a decorated career in Commercial Radio, Ian Skippen has had a life surrounded by music. As an Uncle of mine (who always was King of Dad-jokes) I always felt he would be one to really enjoy doing a Scotch Session of his ten most memorable songs of his life. It’s a rare candid glimpse...

Recorded across some dodgy communication lines between Copenhagen and Sydney in 2017, Stuart Cox and Peter Curtis had been talking this session up for some time, as the eighties represents the glory of our childhood. The bigger question which songs to choose? Get your leg warmers out, crimp your hair and put on a fluoro...

Some people are loud. Some people have opinions. Some are simply from Long Island. This one guy called Dylan is a music boffin who I am glad has joined my group of friends to add a bit of colour and the best mane of grey hair one has seen. A former frontman himself of bands...

Twas very wet for our second session of the Way Out West 2016 excursion and due to the restrictions around getting alcohol in Sweden, we failed to get Scotch. Never mind, since we had other supplies and always plenty more tunes to share. Strap yourself in as the dribbling duo do their best to keep the weather demons at bay. Ten tunes like the old sessions, I promise.

Formerly known as session 13, ’twas the year 2013 and Pete decided to commence proceedings with Patron Tequila while Stuart claims to have the best five tracks of the year following the Strugglers AGM. Listen out for the falling chairs, the dropped glasses and general looseness that insued in one of the all-time great sessions....

It is here, the Big Daddy,  the Grand Poobah, the songs that shaped the life of a manchild from Brisvegas called Stuart Cox. Hosted by Pete Curtis in Gothenburg on the weekend of Way Out West festival, expect an in-depth exploration of genres and scotch flavoured banter. From the suburbs of North Brisbane to the...

This twelfth Scotch Session was long lost and only created from metadata hacked off the governement’s spying computers with the help of Ed Snowden. With Pete still firmly in married mode and the Coxinator sacrificing major social time to get to the Bronte pad they imbibe the fine Bowmore smoky goodness and Glenfiddich 18...

Today we are joined by Peter Curtis’s Canberra childhood friend and face of eternal youth, Michael Rossiter. Unfortunately that also meant a group of noisy hangers-on who care not for microphone sensitivity in the Tamarama pad. So we let Rossy go through his most influential tracks while accompanied by a very fine drop in Ardbeg...

As we delve into songs that define your lifelong musical journey, it’s time to turn the focus to our host sometimes DJ and musical guru Peter Curtis. Recorded in May 2015, this podcast preceded his relocation to Copenhagen and the streamlining and migration of our site.  The restriction for Pete was a ten-song Scotch Session...
