Me and these guys go back many years and i'm extremely proud to share such a wonderful band from my hometown of stoke On Trent!! I chatted to my good friends Charlie and Scott from Black Coast.
I was extremely keen to chat to them about their Bloodstock Festival performance a few days earlier, and by the sounds of it they had an awesome time!
I chatted to Charlie about making ends meet and to allow him to do what he enjoys he works 3 jobs to fund this. There's a common misconception that bands that play lots of gigs make lots of money and this is not the case. Any up and coming band will tell you that it is an extremely costly hobby in terms of travelling to gigs, buying merchandise and then of course you also have the cost of recording albums and making music videos!
This is why it's extremely important that we do all we can to get behind these bands, they are the bands of our future!
Any promoters/festival organisers hit these guys up.. I PROMISE YOU THEY WON'T DISAPPOINT!
P.S Charlie might even trim your hair in return!! How many bands can play a gig and cut your hair all in the same show?

Lets rewind to Sav Fest 2022 where I collared these guys on the stage after their AWESOME performance, I even leant them a £5ver which I did later recover!
Blitz!!! Now these guys are a huge part of the music scene, they are fantastic musicians and are absolutely wonderfully kind humans.
We spoke about the importance of reaching out if you are having a bit of a tough time, we chatted about their plans as a band and what we can expect from them and I CANNOT WAIT to see their video they filmed live!!
We also discussed the mysterious stain on the pool table, answers on a postcard as to what it was!!

Isn't it amazing how small the music scene really is? I travelled all the way to The Victoria Bikers Pub for Sav Fest only to bump into a band called Bang Bang Firecracker from my hometown of Stoke On Trent!
We had a good old chat about Stoke On Trent and the music scene in general, after a logistic nightmare we had to take refuge in the doorway of the venue which was the quietest place I could find to interview especially as it was torrential rain outside!
See how these lovely lot from Stoke got on in my famous general knowledge quiz!

After getting absolutely drenched interviewing outside I took refuge under the cover of the covered outdoor stage at Sav Fest and chatted to the guys in The Outlaw Orchestra. Not only did I make new friends with these guys we had a right laugh chatting about lots of things including old mens bollocks, gaining weight and their newly named by me their "Prison Break Tour"!
We even had a full crowd Sing -a-long in the quiz to thank them for keeping the noise levels down a bit so I could interview.
If you haven't already then don't forget to check these guys out, I promise you that you'll thank me afterwards ive been humming their tunes for days!!

This is a special episode for me as I'm back in the place where my podcast was born, exactly a year ago on the first day of Sav Fest I turned up and Wendy and Alan very kindly let me come in and cover their event...Fast forward a year and I'M BACK! Back with Adam in the EXACT spot we stood when we had our first interview for my podcast...theres just one thing missing....it's very quiet..there are no Hellcats with him!
I love catching up with Adam and I take every chance possible to have a chat with him about his various projects, his life on the road and life in general!
I'm honoured to call him a good friend of mine, him and his dad are AWESOME!!!!

This band are well known for a lot of things, most recently they even got Skindred to sign a contract to take them on the three additional dates they added to their UK tour, now that would be awesome!!
I sat down with Ward XVI (16) for those of you rubbish at maths, on a soggy bench in the pouring rain to chat to them at Sav Fest 2023.
This theatrical bunch of rockers will leave you wanting more after each show, their unique performance has allowed them to recruit their ever faithful inmates and if you are lucky you might even get called up to join in their show, think of these as magicians of the music scene.
They are gagging to get out and about and play every venue out there so if you want an immersive stage show as well as being taken on a musical journey then this is the band for you!
In 2017 their first chapter was opened and since then they have gone from strength to strength and in 2021 they created the first ever CIRCUS PIT at BLOODSTOCK- I was there and the Sophie Lancaster tent was packed to the rafters and many of the newly recruited inmates were mesmerised by the show.
Have a listen to our chat where they describe their perfect sugar daddy or sugar momma and are actively recruiting...Think you've got what it takes, then get in touch. They talk about their inmates and their journey to get to where they are today and of course many other things, including my famous general knowledge quiz featuring two exclusive sing alongs!
Go show them some love, and if you do then PsychoBerrie might go easy on you with her chainsaw.

Warning- This episode contains at least 50% of Bumhole- As stated by Kev Baker!
With the chance of a heatwave looming this weekend, I thought it was only appropriate to release my chat at Sav Fest with The Hot One Two! Also now known as The Hot One Poo!
Although they aren't responsible for the weather, they certainly left me feeling hot and bothered and exhausted from all the laughing, if you could measure funniness then i'd say the amount was around Ha⁵ ⁶
Exhausts being left in places they shouldn't, D5 you sunk my battleshit, best tv programmes, trips to the toilet mid interview, beer pong and many other topics.
These guys are absolutely awesome and their loveable personalities have multiplied their fan base simply because they take so much time for their fans.
Make sure if you get the opportunity you go and see them at a gig or festival, THEY ARE AWESOME- You have my word!

I'm sure you'll all agree when I say that SKAM are one of the most handsome bands! Not only are they handsome they are extremely hard working, great musicians and great company...They really are the full package. I caught up with them at Sav Fest and we had a lot of catching up to do.
Every band deserves to make it and these are no exception, they are ready...BORN READY they are just waiting for the opportunity to arise.
We spoke about the challenges and obstacles faced when trying to progress in the industry.
They are one of THE most reliable bands out there, punctual, professional and that was exactly how I described them back in 2016 when I first had the pleasure of meeting them and hosting them at a festival and nothing has changed, except their music has got better and better!
These guys deserve every opportunity available to them, they have worked their way around the country building their fan base!
Please go and show them your support, I promise it means the world to them and any promoters, festival organisers et al. these guys would be a great addition to your line up!

I had the pleasure of chatting to these Good Time Rollers, A.K.A Trident Waters! Sitting outside the Victoria Bikers Pub, Coalville before their set at SavFest we chatted about their plans as a band, what they've been up to since the last time I saw them, we chatted about what they get up to when they aren't on the stage and life in the big smoke! Aren't they just wholesome human beings, I could have chatted to them ALL night.
We even had a little sing along of a few well known songs!
Listen now to find out which band member has an "Anaconda"!!
If you haven't already I urge you to check these guys out!

I go back years with this band, they played our very own Lostock Festival back in 2017 and from that moment I knew as a band they would be going places!
We talk about how hard it is in the music industry in terms of competition and how important it is to support bands by buying merchandise at gigs etc.
We spoke about the importance of supporting local venues and helping to keep live music alive and how wonderful it is when you have great hospitality at gigs from the venues.
FLEISCH are campaigning to represent the UK in the EUROVISION so lets get behind them and show them some support!
