Time For Heroes

Episode 11 is here and it's my very first female guest, I'm delighted to be speaking to Gemma Clarke.

Gemma was the original drummer of Babyshambles, we spoke about her time with the band, as well as The Suffrajets and The Krak, and, after a decade out doing the school run she's back banging the drums with JW Paris!

Gemma was an amazing guest, and we spoke about so much more and as always, she picked her heroes, she went a little over the limit, but because she was such a fabulous guest I've allowed it!

Hope you all enjoy

Chris came to prominence as the lead singer of The Seahorses, who if you're not aware, were John Squire's band after The Stone Roses split.

As usual, we found time to pick his 4 heroes to come for a dinner party.

I hope you enjoy!

Episode 5 of the podcast is here and this week I am speaking to Jay McAllister AKA Beans On Toast.

He describes himself as a drunk folk singer!

Starting out in Braintree, Essex, he moved to London where he ran FROG, one of the most successful clubnights in the indie music scene in the mid noughties.

On the 1st of December 2009, he released his first album and he has continued to release an album every year on the very same day, in fact in 2020 he released two!

On top of that he has a book called Drunk Folk Sories.

We spoke about all this and more and we still found time to pick his four heroes to come for dinner.
