As the title suggests this is part one of the long awaited interview with an amazing musician, composer and someone I am proud to call a friend Mr Marvin B Naylor.

This part charts his emigration to Canada, early childhood, return to the U.K., his first forays in the world of professional music and his insights into composing music. Peppered with the tunes that have inspired film makers and musicians including myself. A must for any aspiring musician and lovers of a good yarn,

Just like that, this weeks podcast and it’s a corker.

After a new track from me it’s my tip for 2015, powerful and evocative Little Brother Eli – Who Do You?, picking up where Eddie and the Hotrods left off and bringing it right up to date The Silver Bayonets – Schemes. If Peter Gabriel had stayed with Genesis and listened to a few Jacques Brel records he would have come up with something like the enigmatic Marvin B Naylor‘s new single Brief Encounter. My last two tracks Wolfe Sunday – Botany Bay (if Axle Rose had picked up an acoustic guitar and wrote folky punk songs) and ending with my number one and number 2 French punk band H.O.Z. and one of my favourite tracks from their album Ain’t Got No Woman. What a show!

Is This Thing On Podcast 100!

So here we are, episode 100! Recorded live at The Cellar Southampton and what an afternoon Paul (Unplug the Juke Box) and I had!

Sadly no live video stream ( I broke the internet!) but some great live performances from Anja McCloskey, Marvin B Naylor, The Lost Boys, Mike Vaughan and Gideon Towers from Gideon’s Demise. I filled in with some amazing tracks from Tim Farrell and Matt Stevens ( the remixed one by Pseudo Ambient) . I chatted with Guy Sivour from Sand River,  David Simnell, and Mark Lawrence from Broken Links. It would have been mean not to play one of their tracks so I did that too!

In time honored fashion I finished of with one of my tracks Be Like Your Friend.

Thanks to everyone that came along and especially to Mark & Kev from The Cellar for letting me shout in their bar for a few hours!

Is This Thing On Podcast 86

A tired and slightly hungover podcast this week. The first three tracks were Mailman ~ The Ones That Got Away, Nen.TE. Psudo ~ Doucement, The Cherry Bluestorms ~ Her Mirror Cracked.

There then followed an interview with the fantastic Anja McClosky, who spoke about her recent tour of America as well as other bits and pieces of her musical life.

Anja was also kind enough to perform an amazing new song ~ Kiss.

After that I played stunning tracks from Marvin B Naylor ~ Alice & Maryanne.

I shot the breeze with Paul Lane from Unplug the Jukebox about the band Something Beginning With L. I then rounded of proceedings with Eastern Conference Champions ~Bloody Bell and a track of mine with Anja accompanying  me on accordion ~ The Day After The Night Before.

Nice!
