FEATURE INTERVIEW: TROY REDFERN

FEATURE INTERVIEW: MARSHALL POTTS
A wellbeing tonic for troubled times, spoken word audio here from a feature hour we did with Marshall Potts as his album bagged Album of the Month. In uncertain times, the story of an artist that has reminded us that, together, we can come together – and, yes, we can be the change.

A wellbeing tonic for troubled times, Marshall Potts delivers an album of musical sunshine that will brighten your day.
MATT MITCHELL & THE COLDHEARTS – ‘MISSION’
Third time lucky, I guess. The 2015 Colour of Noise album I still play to this day and class it as one of the top 10 albums of this new rock revival – although, for some reason, I never reviewed it.

AMONGST LIARS
Gravity defying. The self-managed band from the sleepy south coast town that is re-writing the rock’n’roll play book for a new age.

This interview is taken from an Marillion hour special I aired during the month; bass maestro Pete Trewavas talks about […]
