WILL AND THE PEOPLE stopped by for a chat ahead of their performance at BOARDMASTERS….

August 23, 2021

When you’re preparing for interviews at BOARDMASTERS festival, I always used to start towards the bottom of the bill and work my way up, sorry to say that it’s just easier to attract bands and artists this way and makes my weekend a lot more fun chatting to people that I’ve never met before. This year, I thought I’d try a different approach and request some face time with bands at the top of the bill instead…..it paid off as a few bands did come back to me with days and times to chat.

One of these was WILL AND THE PEOPLE, we got comfy ahead of their set on The View stage and chatted about their forthcoming single ‘Animal’, their UK tour and how it feels to be out there once again, playing in front of a real audience once again….

Press ‘Play’ below to hear the entire interview.

BAILEY TOMKINSON was on fire at BOARDMASTERS, I chatted to her after her set….

August 22, 2021

Having chatted to Bailey Tomkinson at Chagstock just a few weeks ago, I thought it was rather assumptive of me to expect her to give up her time and come and do the same all over again! I told her that I really wanted to chat to her about BOARDMASTERS, a festival that she has ben attending for a long time and has always longed to perform at. We missed each other on the day of her set as she was off galavanting with her friends and having far too much of a good time to come and speak to me so we left it until the next day and agreed to meet up.

I caught YAZZY moments after she performed on The View stage at BOARDMASTERS….

August 22, 2021

Having spoken to North Devon based singer songwriter YAZZY a few months back on the musomusofm radio show, I thought it was high time that we got together again to have a catch up.

I saw that she was performing at BOARDMASTERS this year and managed to time it perfectly, I arrived to The View stage as she was just launching into the final two numbers from her set.

It was incredible to chat to MISTAJAM ahead of his headline set on the Unleashed stage at BOARDMASTERS….

August 22, 2021

I’ve just got back from London and between Boardmasters Festival coming to an end and me and the family shooting off to the nation’s capital for a bit of R&R, I just didn’t have time to edit the interview and get it uploaded to the site. Whilst in London, just wandering around, my son shouted out that there was a picture of someone on the side of a double decker bus that looked JUST LIKE someone I had interviewed at Boardmasters the weekend before, I looked up and there he was , MISTAJAM, on the side of the number 29 on the way to Camden Town!

We caught up with a bonafide 'long haired lover from Liverpool' in the form of Jamie Webster at BOARDMASTERS last weekend....

August 18, 2021

There was a bit of a commotion in the media tent at Boardmasters Festival over the weekend, the 3 young ladies who were running the tent were squealing like school girls as JAMIE WEBSTER had come in for a chat. Not being from Liverpool and not being a massive fan of the footie, I knew very little about this plucky singer songwriter but I soon found out that he’s the guy who does the ‘Allez Allez Allez’ song.

He also released his debut LP ‘We Get By’ last year which resulted in him topping the newly created Official Folk Album chart!

He was there, I was there, 3 giggling PR managers were there, what could possibly go wrong!

I was asked if I’d like to interview RUDE KID whilst I was at Boardmasters Festival last weekend, after a bit of googling, I learned that he is a very well respected DJ and producer who has collaborated with royalty from the world of Grime including GHETTS and SKEPTA.

After a little more digging, I saw a post from David Beckham saying how much he enjoyed his new track….

August 16, 2021

From time to time, a new musical act comes along, sometimes, they sound and look just like any other band and have to fight hard to get noticed and build a strong following. May I introduce you to a London based duo called Bob Vylan who fuse the modern day values of rap/grime and the raw power of punk to create some of the most hard hitting music I have heard in a long time.

The Lovely Eggs "Smashed It" with an "Egg-cellent" performance in Bristol - Read our "Egg-citing" live review

August 2, 2021

After having to reschedule their tour seven times owing to the pandemic, not even a fire at the original Bristol venue (SWX) was enough to sway THE LOVELY EGGS and make them throw in the towel as many other bands would have done!

Thankfully, the BEAUTIFUL people at The Fleece offered their venue so the show could indeed go on and go on it did, Glenn Morrison was on hand to attend, take photos and tell us how the evening panned out, take it away Glenn….

We caught up with Cornish superstar BAILEY TOMKINSON at Chagstock Festival - Listen to the interview here

August 1, 2021

Since I heard Bailey Tomkinson’s track ‘Movie Scene’ being played on BBC Radio 2 by Brad Paisley goodness knows how long ago, I’ve wanted to find out more about this super talented singer songwriter from St Ives in Cornwall. After spotting her on the bill for Chagstock Festival in 2021, I took aim and got in touch with her manager and after a couple of emails, I had managed to secure some time to chat to her after her set.

The Lost Gecko return with new single: "I Can Hear Echoes" on August 6th

July 30, 2021

The Lost Gecko are a Cork-based trio who set out to develop a distinctive and one-of-a-kind sound by embracing a wide range of musical influences, whilst still retaining their personality and style. From the immediacy of indie-folk down to the unique flow of modern acoustic music, anything goes. The mix of influences is truly spot-on here, allowing the audience to get a deeper glimpse at The Lost Gecko’s creativity. "I Can Hear Echoes" is an excellent calling card for this band, and a great way for the performers to set the bar higher in terms of amping up their presentation with a particularly striking video and adding a perfect musical moment to their discography.

July 30, 2021

As someone who is always on the lookout for new indie music, I was thrilled to see that a longtime favourite of mine, Cross Channel Music, had a new single. The single is titled “Bygone Days” and it has everything that originally got me hooked on the band’s music in the first place: rhythmic guitars, a thumping beat, and front man Pierre Lassegues’ personal lyrics and warm succinct vocals.
