The Musician's Map Podcast

It’s the third installment of Our Worst gigs - where previous guests of the podcast recount their most terrible, disheartening, frustrating and hilarious gig stories.

This time we’ve got Thai terrorist cells, disgruntled fans, sexual predators, sexual assault, technical difficulties, wardrobe malfunctions, projectile beer, noise restrictions, long drives to empty venues, and a man covered in marmite.

It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s light-hearted and it’s serious. It’s our worst gigs.
