Good day lovers! This week we're talking about life in hotels and the joy that is sharing rooms, among other HOT FUCKING TAKES. Enjoy and then give your significant other a big ol' squeeze and thank the lord you don't have to spend any time in a hotel with either of us.

Welcome back to Talking Touring! This week we are chatting to Punk Rock LEGEND Chris #2 from the politically-charged powerhouse ANTI-FLAG. Chris has had a hell of a career over the last two decades with Anti-Flag and we have a great discussion about touring with Rage Against the Machine, learning to tour with friends and manage relationships at home, along with the usual top tips and favourite venues!

OLA! Welcome back to Sunday Sessions. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the time Craig crashed a van and the tale of when i threw my laminate at him. TRIPLE PROFESSIONAL.

On this weeks episode we talk to the best smelling man in the music industry. The man, the myth, the legend that is Simon Gallacher. Simon is a highly sought-after and well respected Tour Manager and Promoter Rep. Both of us have worked with Simon on events before and has been a huge inspiration to us both. Since COVID stopped the music industry, he has been working on the amazing products at 2204 candles, offering some well-designed and hand crafted candles for your home.

Sunday Sessions! This week we expose ourselves as complete failures who can't book flights or operate correctly in an airport. ENJOY!

It's Independent Venue Week! An annual event where we shine a light upon the unsung heroes of the music industry; the independent venue. These venues provide a space for people to gather, a platform for performers to hone their craft, along with employment for their local community. Without places such as these, the industry would not exist. We decided to talk to 3 of our favourite places about their favourite shows, the modern challenges of running a venue, and what it means to them to be independent.

Sunday Sessions! This week we're talking festival favourites! Enjoyable moments from our careers at festival in the light of Glastonbury cancellation. ENJOY!

In this episode of Talking Touring we are joined by 2 time Superbike World Champion James Toseland! Following on from his career as a rider, James made the move to music, forming the band 'Toseland' where both Craig and Liam met. We cover the differences in touring with a band and as a sportsman, mental health while touring, tips for surviving on tour and some fantastic stories about travelling together.
