Here is Part 2 of 3 of Michael talking to and asking my thoughts and questions of my live and views on what ‘music means to me’…an insight on what’s ticking over in my head..I was even surprised by some of the thoughts and responses I gave. My views on the Eurovision Song Contest and the spirit of Christmas songs amongst other things that were discussed, might divide opinions.

:In this episode, I sit down with Craig, someone I’ve known for several years. Having grown up in the Poole, Parkstone area during the ’90s, I was curious to hear his reflections on what it was like back then—especially the music that shaped his youth. We dive into memories of growing up during the Britpop era, a time that really takes me back to that ‘golden age’ of New Labour and everything that came with it. It was a thoroughly enjoyable chat—nostalgic, insightful, and a great listen for anyone

This episode is a bit of a turnaround for me… Instead of me doing the asking, interfering, and being my usual nosey self about what music means to others, the tables were turned!A good friend of mine put me on the spot and kicked things off with:“Rich, what does music mean to you?”Well… I had a lot to say!This is Part 1 of a 3-part series where I reflect on my own journey and deep love for music. It was honestly wonderful to pause and look back at what it’s meant to me over the years.Tune in and

This episode of me having a chat was with a wonderful person called Chris, a lead singer with a local band called Cole & The Bakers. His knowledge and reflection of his youth when it came to his music memories was really quite fascinating. How he came to love Thin Lizzy, his involvement with the band he’s in, a chance to see Bruce Springsteen was just a few of the stories he told. An absolute pleasure to be with.
