Welcome to volume 1 of The Sound of the Bar with JB, Matt aka Brownbear and special guest Mark Sharp and the Bicycle Thieves.

Let's get nostalgic and go back to a time where we played Snake on our phone, sent text messages and didn't express ourselves with emojis.

We chat about the current state of the music industry, accessibilty requirements for people to be able to attend all venues and more.

There are exclusive annoucements from Matt regarding an upcoming gig in June and other interesting info too.

Sharpy advises that there will be more new music in 2026 and some gigs too which are TBC.
