In the Art of Longevity, a new podcast from The Song Sommelier, we take a whistle stop tour of a classic band or artist’s career, but we break a few of usual ‘media interview’ rules (well, we break all of them). Ultimately we reflect on learnings, wisdom, battle scars and wounds and ask “what really defines success”. It’s a question many fans and fellow musicians and all aspiring musicians want to know answers to.

Brett Andersen from Suede once said that all successful artists have followed a similar journey, comprising four stages: the struggle, the stratospheric rise, the crash, and then the renaissance.  In this first episode, Keith Jopling talks with Olly Knights of Turin Brakes about the band's two-decade career: their beginnings, early success, creative peak and commercial crash, and the slow but steady rehabilitation of the band as they prepare for album no. 9.
