FEATURE INTERVIEW: IDLEWAR – CEDE PREVIEW
The first two parts of an interview series with Pete from the band on the new 2019 album. Here, Pete talks about the creative process and the new album artwork. We also talked about rock biscuits, not added here as that’ll be airing again before going online. A bad that embodies individuality and authenticity in […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: SCARLET REBELS – INTERVIEW SERIES PART 1
In August 2019, Scarlet Rebels were our band of the month and also scooped album of the month – the first time with us a band won both in the same month. To mark the new album ’Show Your Colours’ I did an interview series with Wayne from the band on the stories behind the […]
THE QUIREBOYS: HOMEWRECKERS ANNIVERSARY AT KENTISH TOWN
Full band interview backstage ahead of The Quireboys 10th anniversary show for the Homewreckers and Heartbreakers album in September 2018. Originally aired as an hour special just after the show, this feature really captures well the engaging personalities that make up the band. A cameo appearance also from Guy Bailey, as the band prepare to […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: BONAFIDE AND TEQUILA MOCKINGBYRD – LONDON 2017
From the archive a feature hour from early 2017 from the Bonafide 2017 UK tour. As well as a full-band feature interview will Bonafide – a funny interview also with tour buddies Tequila Mockingbyrd talking blueberries and cake – with some controversial comments on Lemon Drizzle during the early days of this ongoing GMS interview […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: PISTON AT THE 100 CLUB – 2017
An archive feature interview with rising rockers Piston from London in 2017. Given the success the band has had in 2019, for fans this offers a nostalgic reminder on the band’s journey to success. The full band interview covers the band’s genesis, ambitions and their desert island album choices. A good insight into the people […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW – THE SCARLET REBELS
August was quite a month for The Scarlet Rebels – we called their new album ‘Show Your Colours’ as our ‘Album of the Month’ – and days later around 3,000 people voted the band as listener choice ‘Band of the Month’ in a 48-hour snap poll. We’ve never had a band win both in the […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: 4TH LABYRINTH
My first of two features with 4th Labyrinth this year was a phone interview aired in two parts over two weeks. We cover a lot of ground and tackle some pretty big issues, but with a playful sense of fun. No matter how serious the industry issues, we never lose sight of the fact that […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: SUMMER WITH LYNNE JACKAMAN
A collection of two interviews with Lynne Jackaman done at the start (May) and end (August) of summer 2019 – put together for the first time. After many serious chats putting the world to rights, for these two we get a bit silly – a sign perhaps that we know how to do an interview […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: VERITY WHITE AT WILDFIRE
Following up on a number of interview shorts in early 2019, I caught up with Verity White at Wildfire for a fuller, feature interview. Playful fun mixes spontaneously with serious discussion on some big issues. A feature that captures well the energy, life and character of the artist behind the music.
FEATURE INTERVIEW: WHITE RAVEN DOWN – GUILTY PLEASURES
The second of two features I recorded with rising rockforce White Raven Down at Wildfire in June 2019. As a bit of fun, the band were picked to come up with a list of guilty pleasure tracks to include for a rock covers album. It all got a bit silly. Guest appearances from Keith Lamley […]
