Feature audio interview 1,677 in an ongoing series – a marvellous and warm welcome back for Rebecca Downes to Great Music Stories. An artist whose story we have followed with great interest for many years. This is a long interview and it’s about as broad-ranging and spontaneous as you can get with any blues/rock interview. Ralphie turns up, as do Sheba and the rock xylo. We talk nursery rhymes, AI, the power of the niche, desert islands, barbers, pensioners, record shops and the postal service. In between all, that plenty of matrons and the odd mention of new music too – which Rebecca has coming soon. Enjoy the madness and then go and check Rebecca’s music on your platform of choice. If you want to buck the cool-kid trend, you could even be totally outrageous and buy one of Rebecca’s CDs. Marvellous.
