I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing one of York’s finest bands, City Snakes last week. Click here to check out the interview and discover so much more about the City Snakes lads. from the name of the band to musical influences and some fun stuff too, it’s all there! I should point out that owing to a couple of technical issues (damn those gremlins to hell and back) there are two points in the interview where the microphone cut out, so apologies for two little clunky moments. After you have listened to the boys chatting with me why not check out some of their tunes on Spotify.

Back in October last year, in the middle of her first tour, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the uber-talented Delilah Bon, which anyone reading this probably knows is the (not so) secret identity/ alter ego of Lauren Tate. Music fans will also know her as the firebrand who fronts one of Yorkshire’s finest bands, Hands Off Gretel. I interviewed Delilah once before, in late 2020 and the following year she released her eponymous first album. That album became the Mayhem album of the year for 2021. Since then she has released an EP and a couple of stunningly good singles, completed her aforementioned first solo tour, and made a few great TV appearances! Those include a stunning performance of “War On Women” on Live On Le Late Show With Alain Chabat (TF1 France). Why has it taken so long to post? Well, there were a number of technical issues with the sound, which have mostly been fixed, and on top of that my mental health had been a little flaky but I am back to fighting fit now! I chatted with Delilah recently and she is happy for the interview to be shared. So take a listen and I would love to hear your thoughts on Delilah Bon.

Last week I had the pleasure of catching up with two very important people in York’s music scene, Chris Tuke (Owner) and Steph Collinson (Manager) of the fabulous Fulford Arms. Click here to listen to the interview. Turn your volume up loud, at least for the first few minutes as I had some tech issues with the sound, which was entirely down to user error. The interview was done in two parts, and I have joined them together at around 16 minutes in, can you find the join? No prizes! I really love the Fulford Arms and I had great fun speaking with Chris and Steph. I hope you enjoy listening to it. There are a couple of videos below that were filmed at the Fulford Arms and one that wasn’t. Why is the third one there? You will need to listen to find out. I look forward to speaking to more of the people behind great venues soon!

A couple of weeks back I had the pleasure of catching up with a magnificent and extremely talented band, the Dead Zoo. It was around the time of the release of their cracking new single “Do Clean/ Do Dirrrty”. The band spoke about the single, gigging after covid, what comes next for them, and many other things. Click here to listen to the interview. Turn your volume up loud as it was a Zoom to mobile call and you know how temperamental tech can be right? I really love this band and I had great fun speaking with them. I hope you enjoy listening to it. This post also gives me the opportunity to share the fabulous official video that accompanies the single, a song that I believe is the band’s best so far.

A couple of weeks back I had the pleasure of catching up with Pennine Suite front man Nick Aldous, that was on the eve of the release of the band’s rather excellent new single “Pass On You” which reached 5,000 streams in its first week in the wider world. Nick talks about band names and gigs, spills the beans on his band mates, muses about merch, T-Shirt designs (check out a rather infamous T-Shirt sported by Hugh Cornwell back in the 70s in the picture below) and chats about some of his favourite music among other things! It was great to catch up with him, click here to listen to the interview on Buzzsprout. I hope you enjoy it!
