Short interview: Simo plays Brighton

As a short follow-up to my interview with JD Simo at Ramblin’ Man Fair – one of the stand-out Great Music Stories’ interviews from the summer – we spoke again briefly on the phone ahead of the band’s November 2016 show in Brighton. As with his music, JD comes across for interviews as authentic, socially aware and with an infectious sense of fun.
