The Old Market Podcast

The Old Market Podcast (TomPod) returns with host Chris Thorpe-Tracey. Our autumn/winter season kicks off with composer Julian Deane, of Woodchester Piano Company, who performed at The Old Market's recent Feel Good Festival. Julian Deane has been a bona fide pop star in Toploader, and then had a successful career in music management and running record labels. Covid and a burst appendix inspired him to switch back to the music-making side, developing his beautiful, literate, ambient multi-media project Woodchester Piano Company.
