Issytunes (aka Issy) has been on this podcast before, but consider this her proper introduction to the SADDESTNIGHTOUT family. On this episode she tells us how she started out in music, how she made her way to London, and leaves us wanting more with the promise of new music in the near future. To be the first to find out about that new music and more, you can find her online at -- https://www.instagram.com/issytunes -- https://www.facebook.com/issytunes -- and on pretty much all social media and platforms as @issytunes. Thank you Issy for talking to me and thank you all for listening. -- Take Care --

223 | Introducing Issytunes

Classic Yellow had just played in London for the first time before talking to me. I'm not a betting man, but the smart money tells me it won't be the last time they play here. Enormous thanks to my friend Shane for bringing me to this show, and thank you to all of Classic Yellow for talking to me (and Samuel for getting the last word in). You can, and must, find them online at -- https://www.instagram.com/classic_yellow -- https://open.spotify.com/artist/4VnF6b0grdHxi7HJ03yGMk -- Thank you all for listening. -- Take Care --

Thumper are absolutely doing it right. There's was the type of headline show that made me take a second look at what I've been doing with my band. I'm very grateful to my friend Shane for getting me to come to this show - he is clearly a man with great taste - and I am very grateful to Thumper for putting on a great show and being kind enough to talk to me afterwards too. After listening to this, you're gonna want to fill your boots with as much of this band as you can get, and you can do that here -- https://open.spotify.com/artist/1iMsLpQB3kldZ9s7pne7gP?si=N3UOJyo1QdWbgeodJY-CvA -- https://www.facebook.com/hellothumper -- Thank you all for listening. -- Take Care --

231 | A Brief History

One step at a time, but what are the actual steps?

232 | The Plan

Welcome to my daily podcast. It's all about music and creative culture in London. I talk to performers both new and established, as well as the promoters that put on shows and the people behind the venues, to paint a picture of what's happening in London's live music scene as it happens. If you like the books Please Kill Me or Meet Me In The Bathroom, then this podcast is for you.
