Calling all you Punk Rock Princes & Princesses, Sk8er boys and girls, in fact everyone that wants to be transported back to the glorious 2000's!
Imagine an Avril Lavigne, Hayley Williams BABYMETAL cocktail!!! 

I had the pleasure of interviewing Tilly, who has broken the internet the last few weeks since the release of her debut song "Best Breakup Ever" which has had 861,460 views in just 3 weeks!!!
In fact, it's not just a song it's an anthem every person, from every walk of life at some point in their life can relate to!

We spoke about not fitting in at school when growing up and how that in itself fuels the passion and determination to spread the message that is ok not to fit in.
Having grown up in a live music venue and being from a musician family Tilly eats, sleeps and breathes music-LITERALLY!

For anybody that has ever been bullied for being different this one is for you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

If you are ever in Lichfield, be sure to head down to The Feathers Inn especially on a Tuesday when their Open Mic Night is on!

First things first lets clear up the the fact that this band is actually pronounced BLOOD-MORE-ES, but I bet not many of you knew that!

I had the pleasure of chatting to them about their upcoming performance at Bloodstock, they are playing the New Blood Stage on Saturday 12th August and they have assured me that it's a set not to be missed! I wonder if it has sunk in yet that they have made it onto the festival line up!

We spoke about George and how much his support to the band is valued, so massive shout out to you!!
Massive shout out to James Bennett who is a massive supporter of up and coming bands and reps 0161 Slamchester! Oh and massive thanks for my failed graduation trip to Manchester when we met in TGI's and I didn't even make it out the train station #DRUNKCHESTER

Have a listen and if you are at Bloodstock don't forget to show your support by heading to the New Blood Stage and supporting our bands of the future!!

They say that the world is small, but what are the chances of someone staying in the same hotel as you in Turkey at the exact time? Well....Thats exactly what happened to me a few months back, I had the pleasure of Robs company and his dad, who is bloody awesome!

I had the pleasure of chatting to Rob and Duncan which are 2/3rds of the band Autumn Killers!

We chatted about our holiday which was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and we got to catch up and chat about the music scene and the offerings from the band, what to expect and talks of a new single and also a band rebrand!! 

Go check them out, P.S their cover of Eleanor Rigby even my mum approves of it (she had a sneak preview in Turkey)

I caught up with King Kraken at SOS Fest. Daddy Kraken and his tentical feelers provided me with an afternoon of pure comedy, we had so much fun in this interview!
We talked about their journey as a band, we spoke about their giant tenticals on the stage, how they deal with long drives to and from gigs and general nonsense. Adam also tried to out banter me but he soon got it back haha!

I opened up about the time I shit myself on the way home from Egypt when I was younger, going on a plane for the first time and everything in between.

See how they got on in my general knowledge quiz!

As most of you are probably aware by now Imogen and James "Ducky" Duckworth are having a tough time after having the rug pulled from under their feet.  Their studio that they have worked hard to make their own has been taken from them. They are suddenly without an income, without a place that they have worked hard for.

I spoke to Imogen who gave me the low down on what's been going on, we spoke about UGLY CLUB which is a club that everyone can join ,a club with no judgement and a club where you can be yourself!

Here is their GO FUND ME and if you can spare a pound or two, please send it their way!

To celebrate my 100th episode, I have chosen to release my interview with Dakesis at SOS Festival!

Every person on this planet has the right to feel empowered, Every person on this planet should be allowed to feel comfortable in their own skin.
Much like a flower, every body blooms a bit differently. But are all glorious in their own right!
There is no doubt that if I ever had to go into battle, I'd do so "On Wings Of Steel"

I spoke to Gemma who flew the flag to celebrate body confidence on behalf of her band mates, as an advocate for the LGBTQ+ Community and to empower women all over the world just like Lizzo does each and every time she performs!
"Anyone attending our gig we want to make feel safe,  we try and make all our fans feel like a family" A bold statement which is backed up by their solid performance, creating a safe space for people from every walk of life to hang out and them spending time with their flock of fans queueing next to their merch after every gig!

We chatted about lots of stuff in this episode, and if you are wondering YES!! She did get Taylor Swift tickets, her manifestation did work!!

Have a listen, I hope you like it!

I spoke to Parilla Uk, THE ORIGINAL PARILLA!! 
It's still not clear what the man behind the mask looks like, I spoke to their lead singer  Dani who introduced me into his world of aesthetics!

Once we cleared the elephant in the room up, the current issue they are facing having another band with the same name, we decided that the world would be a far better place if people didn't act like a dick!

We spoke about influences and also chatted music in general! 

Have a listen, I hope you like it.

I thought it was only fair to quiz 3 of the nicest men in the music industry, Martin Short, Jason Samuels and David Wilson. They all took part in my general knowledge quiz, up in the depths of the press area at SOS Festival.
Often reviewers, togs, interviewers, promoters go unnoticed in the depths of our venues and I thought it was only right to include them and to give them a big shout out for all the contributions they have, and continue to make to supporting our live music scene!
See how they got on in my general knowledge quiz!

I'm known for my ability to conduct interviews almost anywhere and this one was no exception. I had the honour of being invited to SOS Festival held at Whittles At Tokyo, Oldham. Not only is this a fantastic venue it is also surrounded with a plethora of reasonably priced car parks to choose from, great for those driving and/or worrying about where to park!

I had the absolute pleasure to accompany Thieves Of Liberty to their car via a cobbled side street where I held them captive whilst I chatted to them about future album plans, upcoming gigs and most importantly where they got their silky, soft shirts from!
P.S I can confirm they are as soft as they look....The shirts that is!

Have a listen to see how they got on in my general knowledge quiz!

I had the pleasure of catching up with Ryan and Lewis that make up 2/3rds of Sleep in Motion.
Ever wondered the reason behind the name? In this episode we reveal all!

They have an album due for release towards the end of the year, November 10th to be precise and their album launch party is at Rough Trade, Nottingham so be sure you get down and show them some support!

Now, any person that likes cats automatically becomes a friend of mine and Ryan instantly got added to that list, especially when he made friends with a cat called Jasper on holiday. Have a listen to our interview to hear the full extent of 5* treatment Jasper got from room #592!
