The endlessly fascinating Oh Brother chats continue with Daren Garrett who’s first band was with my old acquaintance Alex from the Neds !LOL moments when he found out he’d “resigned “ from the Fall and how a he was somewhat late to the Glastonbury gig 😂 #fallfriday open.spotify.com/episode/5Xvb...

OK you lot…. A word of warning. Jase is going to be turning down clients before long. His student list has flown up - and who could be surprised! He’s a bloody genius! I’ve come on leaps and bounds from technically inept to technically adept in a month. BOOK EARLY! 👍🏻

Great listen again from the Oh Brother podcast - Jim Glennie from James tells us how nicking drinks led to a fortuitous meeting with singer Tim Booth, how Chesney Hawkes probably is the nicest man in pop and how a van full of vegetarians has it’s issues #fallfriday open.spotify.com/episode/54yG...

If you're an OG fan of the Bunnymen you'll love this episode with Will Sergeant- gasp at how Echo the drum machine cost a weeks wages (£30) and laugh about how lead singers only carry grudges - never equipment, maybe inspiring dressing room graffiti ? #fallfriday open.spotify.com/episode/4J9U...

With hands across the East Lancs road divide, Bunnyman Will Sergeant is the guest on the new @OhBrotherShow podcast. There is a celebration of cynicism and a rejection of all things cheesy, which is a fine line to tread when your singer is called Mac. Or maybe not.

OTD in 1981, The Fall were in Hljóðriti studio, Reykjavík. They recorded three songs 'Hip Priest', 'Look, Know' and 'Iceland', the latter improvised on the spot. Here's Paul Hanley talking about the session. The 'Hip Priest' and 'Iceland' recordings are down thread.
