We go from the drummer to the bassist, welcoming Craig Walsh on to the show this week. Craig plays in the same band as last weeks guest, Dave Ormsby, and is another who has stood in for us when we’ve needed him. Craig is one of the best bassists that we know and it is a pleasure to have someone that we respect so highly, and who such a good friend, on the show.

We welcome Dave ‘Dormsby’ Ormsby to the podcast this week. Dave is the all round session drummer, playing with bands and artists in the studio, live and under his stairs!

Taking a little break this week

We’re happy to announce that we’ve snagged another guest for the show that we have been trying to snag for a while! Joe Hicks is a songwriter, and artist, from the South of England whom we have bumped in to numerous times, at various Sofar Sounds gigs and gotten on so well with, every time, that we wanted to get in to the good stuff with.

We’re re-united with Tee this week as we get him on to talk about his own artistic endeavours as…well, TEE. His own solo project has always been ticking away behind the scenes, but things are about to get hot and we wanted to chat to him about the process before things get too manic.We talk about innovation through Covid times, how virtual reality is coming into the industry and our usual smegments.

We’re back from holiday! This week we catch up with Val Verrel, an artist and producer from London. We get into the weeds with his music, his process and his latest song, Lightning, which is now more relevant than ever!

EH, WE’RE AWAY!

It’s just the two of us this week as we catch up on what’s happening in our industry today, as well as a reflection over the past few episodes and our usual segments!

This week we are joined by a 17 year-old, Alt-Pop trailblazer, Laurel Smith. Laurel works with our very own Alex as her producer and has been carving out her own path with her last EP, Mortals, and new single, Candy. We talk about the difference between an artist and a singer/songwriter, the dark side of TikTok and how important it is to be in control of your own project as a young artist today.
