50 - Motherless Child
Jul 5, 201900:33:44Tap to summarizeHard Rock - THE RETURN OF THE PROC-CAST! I'm so happy to bring you the first episode of the show in over a year! As some of you may know, I've struggled a lot over the last few years with my mental health. The podcast is something I love doing and as with anything like that, it's a real struggle to keep the motivation when you don't feel like yourself. As a part of my rehabilitation and rejoining the world, I felt that it was time to bring it back. There's no easing you folks back in either, you've got a double dose of me. Sorry, not sorry. I'm on both sides of the microphone this episode as Motherless Child is my band! I'm joined by Abi, Arron and Martin and we tell you about how the band was kick started by Abi's arrival, people we're fans of and about people who eat pencils. The music is dirty, riffy, hard rock and I really hope you enjoy it!

49 - Glen Boden
May 10, 201800:31:46Tap to summarizeI took the opportunity to catch up with an old friend for this episode of the show. Glen and I spent a year of college studying together until he transferred up to Leeds and we were pretty much out of contact for the next ten years. Fast forward through that time and Glen's music has progressed a long way and he's putting out some truly awesome work. It was great to see him after such a long time and it makes me really happy that he would take the time to drive over from Birmingham to Nottingham to make the live session and interview happen!

48 - George Gadd
Apr 20, 201800:24:58Tap to summarizeGeorge Gadd is a name I'd heard many times from Nottingham musicians that have been on the show as well as from friends who are clued into the Nottingham scene. He'd been recommended to me a few times and I hadn't gotten around to inviting him onto the show. Until I bumped into him randomly one day and we got chatting about guitars and he ended up coming and doing an interview. I really enjoyed our interview, he's a character and not afraid to speak honestly. A quality that I admire in a person.

47 - John Craigie
Feb 2, 201800:29:00Tap to summarizeI was introduced to John Craigie, known to some as a modern day troubadour, by last episode's guests Rainbow Girls. The group of friends from California has produced both of these excellent acts, as well as Marty O'Reilly and The Old Soul Orchestra. A truly talented bunch! Talking to Craigie you can get a picture of this calm guy with a great observational sense of humour. It comes across in his live shows both in the music and the audience interaction. Although you can't let that detract from some of the wonderfully emotive sentiments present within his songs. If you have a chance to go to a show, it's a chance not to be missed. I was lucky enough to see his first ever UK show on his first tour over this side of the pond. I hope he comes back again soon because I want to see it again!

46 - Rainbow Girls
Jan 5, 201800:31:46Tap to summarizeNottingham continues to blow me away with the quality of musicians that originate here and come through this city when on tour. The latest ones to do this are Rainbow Girls. All the way from California they bring a blend of great songs and beautiful harmonies that stay in your head long after you've heard them. Take a listen to this episode to find out about how and why Rainbow Girls came to be in their current guise. The social and political themes in their music and their desire to spread unity within all the communities that they visit.

45 - Kate Auburn
Nov 10, 201700:23:41Tap to summarizeListening to Kate's haunting voice performing 'Don't Blame Me' was the point at which I knew I wanted to get her on to the show. It was at a show in Nottingham that I heard her first, after hearing of her a few times previously. She's a big fan of the Nottingham music scene and had plenty of good things to say about the people organising events and the musicians that she's played with during her time gigging here. I really hope that she manages to get some more music recorded soon because she is a lovely songwriter with a beautiful voice that suits what she is doing perfectly. She's aiming to do this in early 2018, let's hope it happens! In the meantime, you can hear four of her songs in this episode!

44 - Christopher Paul Stelling
Sep 28, 201700:29:43Tap to summarizeFolk - Another excellent episode with an awesome musician and throughly nice chap, courtesy of Rob at The Running Horse. A little late notice on this one but it was definitely worth the trip out! I had a great time watching North Carolina resident Christopher Paul Stelling belting out some fantastic songs that evening. His voice is a phenomenon, so powerful yet raw and full of passion. It brings his songs that are great on record, to life in a way that leaves you mesmerised. We spoke about a lot of things that evening. The interview was great fun, but possibly my favourite part was the story of a crazy dream he'd had previously which eerily related to the music playing in the background in the venue that night. Maybe if enough people want to hear about it I'll post that too...? Get in touch if you want to hear about strange dreams!

43 - Marty O'Reilly
Aug 23, 201700:35:06Tap to summarizeAmericana/Singer Songwriter - After interviewing Laura Cortese at the Running Horse way back when, I got chatting to Rob, the landlord and generally nice chap in charge at the venue about coming down to some future shows to talk to the musicians that he had playing. The next one after Laura was Thomas Leeb and following that, came this chap, Marty O'Reilly. Being a long way away from his home in California, on tour in a relatively unfamiliar place, Marty singled Rob out as one of the good ones. He praised him for putting him and his travelling companions up and feeding them well, all to help keep music live and upcoming musicians touring the world. In my opinion, it's all about working together. Marty echoed this during his interview. He spoke to me about his life, music and music in California. I particularly enjoyed listening to his 2014 album 'Pray For Rain' after the show. If you haven't already, check that one out.

42 - Abi Moore
Mar 8, 201700:30:33Tap to summarizeSinger/Songwriter: I met Abi Moore after she'd been into my workplace to buy a guitar amp. She spoke to a colleague and as we're all interested in music we decided to have a listen to her stuff after she left. I was really impressed by the songwriting on offer so I approached Abi with an offer to come on the show, which she graciously accepted. I was really interested to hear about how she's managed to forge a meaningful career out of music and about her will to succeed doing what she loves. There's some interesting bits in there for anyone that wants to follow a sustainable path into music, I recommend listening to it! (Well I would, wouldn't I!)

41 - Faitala
Feb 17, 201700:29:26Tap to summarizeIndie-Pop - Electro-Pop isn't something that I'm really familiar with as a rule. However, I'll listen to everything and anything on the quest for new music to put on the show. So when I mentioned that I run a podcast about new music and was searching for talent on a Facebook group run by EV from Faitala, she was quick to mention that she played in a band. I had a listen and heard some great stuff from her and fellow band members, frontman David (Faitala) and Drummer Oli.
