After a week's hiatus where I swam in the sea every day and ignored all electronic communication, we are delighted to announce that Vicky Warwick joins us on @whatgoesonpodcast this week. Vicky is a session bass (and other assorted instruments) player for the likes of Charli XCX, Rod Stewart and Cee Lo Green to name but a few. We cover studying at Bass Tech, the first proper, job, setting fire to a chap who was trying to chat her up, whether that @radvxz song is about her and moving to the U.S. as a cure to post-tour blues.

Enjoy.

Nalle Colt is a Malmö-born guitarist who plays in LA R&B band, Vintage Trouble. The teen skate phenom took up guitar after an injury at age 13 and years later, despite running a thriving skatepark and shop in Malmö, decided he needed to move to LA to pursue his musical aspirations.. Enjoy.

Andy Sneap, ladies and gents! He has been at the forefront of metal since he co-founded Sabbat at 15 years old, has also played with Hell and is currently depping for Glen Tipton in Judas Priest. With over 100 album production credits to his name ranging from Napalm Death to Megadeth, Saxon to Opeth, the breadth and depth of his knowledge and expertise in the studio are A++. Enjoy.

A bit of an epic journey this week. Radiohead guitar tech Adam 'I quite like danger' Cummings is someone who I have had the great pleasure of working with on various projects over the years, but his main gig these days is as right hand man to Ed O'Brien. His path into the music industry was not actively sought, but once hooked, he has worked his socks (and various limbs and joints) off. Always looking for the next 'thrill', he decided to pick up 'Teach yourself Climbing In A Weekend' as he was recovering from a compound fracture of his leg. A broken leg sustained after falling off a moving car, or something equally responsible. In Adam's words from this episode - "It gets worse..." Enjoy.

Erin Davis, Miles Davis's youngest son and one of three executors of the jazz legend's estate, is someone I have been fortunate to call a friend for a few years now, and it was a joy to catch up in this episode. We get into how it was growing up as the son of a living legend, playing in a band (Bloodline) with Joe Bonamassa, being out on tour with Miles and his band at 14yo, being taught the Minor Pentatonic scale by John Schofield, and chords by Robben Ford. Enjoy!

Another pre-COVID recording!

Kev makes wonderful guitars these days (find his insta below), and if you have broken yours, he's the man to bring it back to life. Growing up in a very Goth-y Bedford he veered towards and became super-involved in the DIY-heavy skate/punk scene. Made a guitar and then learned to play it. The first gig was impromptu, on a front lawn. School bands progressed, evolved, came and went, he became a DIY-promoter in his teens and actually called the numbers on the back of his fave band singles and convinced them to come and play gigs where his band could support. That was a launchpad for his own career, John Peel sessions, being at the infamous Fugazi gig in front of the Whitehouse, and hanging out with Rage Against The Machine. Enjoy. scx

Freddie Cowan, ladies and gents! Vaccines guitarist, clothes-lover and creator, all around considerate chap who clearly thinks deeply about the motive forces in both his own life and the lives of the broader population of our country/ planet. Enjoy. We did. scx
