Imagine having the voice of an angel? Nope, you don't have to imagine...Georgina Wilson who is currently studying in Brighton has a voice that effortlessly soothes your soul. 
She's a newbie when it comes to the music scene and is patiently waiting to be discovered. That's where I come in handy. I have the ability to share this hard working young musician far and wide, all over the world where my podcast is being streamed. 

She's desperate to get out around the Brighton area and share her songwriting so if there's anybody that can help her whether it be venue owners, promoters, fellow musicians then this will be  gratefully received. 

When I'm listening to her music I'm imagining I'm sipping on a cocktail or two in a bar somewhere in the Mediterranean!

Her main influences are Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Billie Marten , Joy  Crookes, Pip Millet, Caroline Polachek just to name a few. 

Lets do what my podcast is all about and do our bit to support up and coming artists and help them on their journey.

Those of you with a beautiful music taste may recognise the name of this band! Born In Dissonance are a metal outfit mainly hailing from Bristol/WSM but scattered along the South West like a confetti cannon. 
We had a little fact exchanging session, we talked about bad driving, bad teeth and slow moving traffic. They told me about the last time they played Stoke and how much of an eggselent time they had!
There is lots of exciting stuff to be expected from these guys over the next few months and what makes it a bit more exciting is that they are a totally DIY Band!
They are such excited puppies and considering this interview was one of their first proper interviews I think they conducted themselves wonderfully.
I even let them have a crack at my new "Guess the lyrics and sing the wrong ones" game! I had a wonderful time talking to them and I'm pretty sure they had fun too!
Trust me, this band are going places they just need your help and support!

**T/W STRONG REFERENCES TO BPD, SUICIDE, MENTAL HEALTH**

As most of you know I am a proud patron of Ian's Chain Charity and I take great pride in playing my part in helping people on their Mental Health journey.

As part of my Mental Health and Me Campaign I am honoured to be able to share Dan Baileys personal journey through his childhood all the way up to now, I would just like to take this moment to say how lucky we all are that he is still with us today.

It takes a lot of bravery to open up especially on a globally charting podcast but we hope that by sharing his story it may help other people, even if it's just letting people who have struggled on the same path, know that they aren't alone, think of this episode as an audio cuddle!
Dan offers some wonderful advice and I took this opportunity to thank him for all that he did a few years back with the  #SmileAgainstTheStigma campaign.

The #SmileAgainstTheStigma campaign was formed by 'Smile Mental Health' which is an independent campaign, aimed at empowering people to disspell the stigma's surrounding mental ill-health, and to talk about these illnesses. The song focuses on 4 real-life stories of people battling with mental ill-health, as shared by people during 2015's #SmileAgainstTheStigma campaign. Remember a smile a day, keeps the psychologists away!

Listen to it here:

How often do we neglect our own mental health? 
How often do we burn ourselves out trying to please others? 

we spoke  about the importance of looking after our mental health and his journey on how he has tried to banish the stigma surrounding mens mental health. 

Some men still feel as if people expect them to hide their emotions and “man up,” or be strong for others. Having or acknowledging a mental health condition is still seen as a sign of weakness or lack of masculinity among some men. 

It absolutely isn't a sign of weakness and EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET will experience mental health problems at some point in their lives.

Have a listen to our chat and I'm sure most of you can relate to this and just know two things, 

1) YOU AREN'T ON YOUR OWN

2) IT IS OK NOT TO BE OK

We're all in this together so let's reach out and help each other!

You have to give it to this band Promethium, for all their dedication and hard work. Daniel Lovett-Horn basically spammed my inbox until I featured him on here!! His kindness and generosity really does go a long way and I would just like to say thank you for being such a wonderful person...The rest of the band are alright too, when they could get a word in edgeways!

Not only are these musicians wonderful at what they do, they create fantastic music to accompany you on your road trip whether it be commuting to work, just popping to the shops or travelling a bit further a field...theres a song on their new album for every occasion.
Buckle up and strap in tight, you re in for a treat with this episode...

P.S As you can probably tell by the episode photo, they definitely completed the challenge I set for them!

"Hell’s Addiction are a 5-piece balls-out hard rock band from Leicester UK, described as the bastard child of an illicit three-way between Skid Row, early-Guns N’ Roses & AC/DC."

How many bands are confident enough to introduce themselves like this and ACTUALLY sound exactly as described?
The answer is not many, and Hells Addiction are parachuting back into the music scene with a bang!!! Having Natalie Taylor at the helm of the ship, she will sail them into many fantastic opportunities, so if you wanna book the guys then she's the woman to speak to!

They are having an album launch party on 7th October at Nottinghams newest club GHOST!
Their album "9' O Clock Horses" is available for pre ordering from their website prior the the Album release.
Be quick because I know this album is too hot to handle and I have no hesitation that it will be flying out once its released, that's if there are any available after the pre-orders!

It has to be said that these guys truly are the most down to, salt of the earth kind of people and I could spend hours chatting to them....well we could have if you knew how to turn the microphone on hahaha!

Oh and lastly, Jay Mcguire is DEFINITELY to blame for the Dirty Ballerina, sorry mum!

After Simon Gee stood me up the first time, I'm honoured to have finally caught up with him. Ever wondered what it feels to be in such high demand? Well wonder no more!
First things first his band Molly Karloff are on the hunt for a new bass player and we all know how hard it is at times to find the right person...Well that's where I come in handy, just call me the Cilla Black of the music industry, let me help find the right person for your band!
Simon talks about what they as a band are looking for and if you think you tick the boxes then get in touch!
We had a good old natter and I for one really enjoyed myself, we spoke about fond memories we share of Tina Sherwood and I'm sure most of you reading this would know how fond she was of this band...The age old debate continues what came first the van  name or the band name ?
Picture this, You're at a festival, Tina is proudly lying in her van watching the world go by....

I reckon that it went along the lines of :

Simon: Hey Tina, nice van what's it called?
Tina: She's called Molly Karloff
Simon: Woahhhh, what an awesome name, i'm having that for our band!!!!!!

Simon talks about the people who have supported the band since the early days and how grateful he is for YOUR support.
We gave a BIG shout out to Alison from Swansea, I need to chat to you...We all need an Alison in our lives!!

I would like to dedicate this episode to Tina Sherwood who we all miss dearly, until we meet again our friend, may you rest in eternal peace.

I last caught up with these exactly a year ago at Sav Fest 2022 and I made them go off and brush up on their general knowledge!
Last of the Misfit Heroes are back this year with a different line up and a newly improved knowledge base!

These are some of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met and just like last year Andrew didn't hesitate in offering me his coat!
Whenever I see their name on a line up, whether it be a gig or festival I always have a little smile to myself that they are doing well. 
We need to treasure bands like these, if only there were more people like this in the world it would be a much more wholesome place.

Musically they pack a punch and their performance oozed energy, it was contagious and everyone in the vicinity of the stage just couldn't seem to stay still. 
Please go and check these guys out and when you do, don't worry about taking a coat with you, Andrew will be on hand making sure you are well looked after!

You haven't got to worry about this band not turning up, Tyler arrived for our interview a day early!
It did cross my mind whether to stick to our original plans but if there's one thing I do well it's accommodate people wherever I can at the drop of a hat.

We chatted about life outside of Black Water Redemption and how Tyler juggles work, fatherhood and the band. The lengths these up and coming bands go to make ends meet to allow them to play shows for our enjoyment, really does hit home especially when he "Plays a gig on a Friday, then lays a patio on a Saturday" 
It really is an honour to be able to take a deeper look into the faces behind the music and see what really goes on behind the guitars, drum kits, microphones etc.

I bang on all the time about buying Merch at gigs and in fact my living room is littered with random bits of Merch I've purchased over the years. My wardrobe is full of random T -Shirts and if it means Tyler can have the winter off laying patios then why not add to your collection by getting one of theirs!

P.S Great photo btw haha

Whilst on car park patrol I found a few lads knocking about with a guitar in hand, I knew by their style they weren't ordinary lads...I found Zac and The New Men on their way to breakfast club at RockWich before their performance. 
Armed with a family carton of OJ I had to warn them about the side effects of drinking too much! 
I guarantee you that this could be the best 3 minutes 30 seconds that you've ever listened to! 
These guys are on to big things so check them out whilst you can!

It's a very special moment for the She Burns Red boys! Not only is it their first visit to RockWich it is a nice welcome back to the old stomping ground of Northwich!
Kitted out with a Witton Shirt, they really did look the part, especially as Witton's stadium is a nice shade of red!

If you have been lucky enough to catch these guys you will surely agree with me that not only are they extremely talented musicians they are absolutely wonderful people to boot!
I'd even go as far as saying that James and Scott are the music scenes very own BFG's!

They are definitely a band that are gaining momentum wherever they go, perhaps due to their addictive stage show, catchy riffs and expertly executed songs!
Their new album "Out of Darkness" is an album that belongs in everybody's possession and if you haven't already purchased it then you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why?

They are supporting South of Salem on their "The Samhain Supernova Tour" which is on for a sell out so make sure you get your tickets now to avoid disappointment.

I had the pleasure of testing their knowledge in my famous General Knowledge quiz, they even had a little help from their friends in South of Salem!
