The fifth episode of What Goes on is here (and also there. Kind of everywhere really. The internet's strange like that)! For this positively penta-temporal episode, we are joined by the one and only Earl of Daneland, Mr Peter Honoré himself. Known by his legions of adoring internet followers as Danish Pete, he is a presenter on (and the brains behind) the fantastically successful Andertons TV. He has also had an illustrious career as a session guitarist, playing stadium tours with some of the biggest artists in the music industry, and he now enjoys a substantial social media following in his own right.
Check out Pete's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/peterhonore and his Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mrpeterhono...
What goes on is a podcast/video series about life in the music industry. Through a series of interviews with some rather spectacular human beings, we want to provide you with an insight into what it means to live and work in the music industry. Each of our guests have contributed their immense talents to this industry, and we are delighted to help share their stories, insights and words of wisdom.
