Over Our Garden Wall - Music Podcast

After a few aborted attempts, we finally managed to get Kevin McDermott into our virtual living room to record a Live Music & Me podcast.
Kevin is an integral part of Scotlands musical backstory and Glasgow's in particular - therefore it was great to get a feel for how his gigs were part of his musical development. As expected, we got numerous references to the famous Glasgow Apollo ( including the x-ray vision of their bouncers), learning the guitar to Rock Lobster, missing a Clash gig he had a ticket for, and enthusing about being lucky enough to seeing the greatest post punk band ever.
Kevin also threw in a Pete Shelley impersonation for good measure, a bit of gossip about David Byrne’s Dumbarton family - and we also got the first mention ever of Loch Lomond bear park. No, really…
What we didn’t get was a Live Album recommendation from Kevin - however he did recommend a live album we definitely SHOULDN’T own…And to finish we got a wee update on what Kevin’s up to at the moment ( he is very active which is good to hear) Even allowing for a bit of audio bounce, it was a very pleasurable experience.
Big thanks to Kevin - enjoy & stay safe
PS “ If you don’t like The Beatles, you don’t like breathing”

All good things must come to end, even a tribute to the legend that is Mr BowieAnd hopefully, out final podcast pays due respect. However, as per normal, at least 50% of the chat has minimal connection to the great man! We of course do discuss the Final ( Hunky v Zizzy). Plus the panel sharing their own personal fav Bowie tunes ( and Caroline sharing super cool signed merch). And a wee chat about potential future podcast material. To finish, our good friend Skin also gave us an acapella version of a Bowie classic from the winning album ( that wasn't meant to be apacella!) All in all, a perfect way to finish our Bowie chat. Huge thanks to Caroline, Colin and Skin - they are the icing on the dodgy cake! Until next time - enjoy and stay safe.

How much can we pack into a 30 minute music chat? The answer on this episode is...quite a lot! With Colin, Caroline & Skin in top form our chat content included
Bowie Quiz
Lou Reed and New York toilets ( no, really)
Mime dancing to Life On MarsSigned merch And of course, the panels
Final predictions
More importantly, we also took a moment to pay our respects to Brian McFie who had passed away just before our recording. A genuine legend, who will be sorely missed.
Until next time

So we have made it to episode 3 discussing all things Bowie! Thats a surprise, and even more so that we managed to get Colin, Caroline & Skin to all rejoin us again...We went with 2 Bowie trivia questions on this one ( with mixed results from the panel), plus Skin telling us which colours all the Bowie albums are, and reflections on how our rock star friends on X don't always agree, especially on Bowie albums. More importantly, we also did the live draw for the semi finals, and they are VERY tasty...Will we get to episode 4? Ask us this time next weekEnjoy & stay safe

Episode 2 is mainly a discussion about how the last 16 knock out round went ( panel had mixed views!). We also managed to squeeze in chat about taking photos in the 1970s, singing Bowie covers, the most expensive album cover ever (!) and how Cilla Black was such an inspiration to Bowie We also did a live draw for the last 8 - and 4 belting match ups they are As ever, thanks to Caroline, Skin & Colin Enjoy & stay safe
