Luke Bentham - The Dirty Nil

I caught Luke spreading the word of Rock n Roll after his band finished soundcheck (on tour now in America).

We get into his band the Dirty Nil and what they do and how they do it.

There’s also a healthy amount of talk about, Les Paul guitars, gear, songwriting and the magic and mystery of performing for an audience.

The Dirty Nil - New album “The Lash” Out July 25
