LIVE MUSIC & ME - ROBERT HOWARD. EPISODE 19

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/04/18

We have now recorded around 20 episodes of Live Music & Me, and every one of them has been very enjoyable. However, we were extra excited for this one, as our guest was the musician and singer/songwriter Robert Howard ( we have been Blow Monkeys fans for a long time) It was also the first time we had attempted a pan European podcast with a time difference ( Robert lives in Spain now) ,and thankfully the technology passed the test ( and the time difference) We never know where the guests will

LIVE MUSIC & ME - COLIN McCREDIE. EPISODE 18

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/03/28

Although we love having guests from some of our favourite bands on the Live Music & Me podcast, its extra special when we welcome an actor as a guest. And, even more so, when the actor is the Scottish legend Colin McCredie.Colin is well known for his acting prowess - however, from an early age, music has been an integral part of his world. Therefore, the discussion we had on his gig memories was full of cracking bands that he saw, and some brilliant stories connected to them. From a first gig

NOTHING ELSE MATTRESS. 100 GREATEST ALBUMS. EPISODE 21

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/03/15

In 2023, we spent 12 months reviewing the Rolling Stone magazine 100 Greatest Albums list. After 20 podcasts, we had agreed that 66 of these albums were worthy of inclusion on our own 100 Album list. So....we then decided to get nominations from our podcast panel and our music friends, and held 20 Voting Party's on Twitter/X that voted on circa 100 more albums. ( they were very good fun, thanks to everyone who took part in them) When that was done, we had voted another 40 albums onto our

LIVE MUSIC & ME. PAUL SIMPSON. EPISODE 17

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/03/05

If you have been lucky enough to see/hear our guest Paul Simpson in other conversations, you will know that he is very good value for money ( and why his book Revolutionary Spirit is so well loved!) No surprise then that our podcast conversation about his live gigs covered a lot of ground! In between Paul telling us about how his first gig actually wasn’t his first gig ( and also how he managed to ‘invest’ the bob-a-job money he had been keeping for his scout troop) – we were also treated to

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/02/17

We love The Pearlfishers, and therefore were absolutely delighted that Davy Scott agreed to join us for this latest recording of Live Music & Me.Davy was honest enough to admit that some of the first gigs he went to was nothing to be proud of ( eg Clapton) - however we all did stuff when we were young we later regret! We quickly moved on - and Davy then took us through his gig memories, talking with fondness about Macca/Wings ( Davy played a small part in him having a US No1 single) , the

LIVE MUSIC & ME - DANIEL WYLIE. EPISODE 15

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/01/28

The guest for our latest live music podcast was the singer, songwriter, musician & producer, our friend Daniel Wylie. Daniel took us on a very varied musical journey, from Nana Mouskouri to Elvis Costello, and pretty much everything in between! We also had Daniel giving us a rendition of the Stripper tune ( but not the dance) and name-checked a whole bunch of his musical pals along the way. In between the name-checks, Daniel talked about the time he NEARLY met the Thin White Duke in 1978 at

LIVE MUSIC & ME - MARTIN METCALFE. EPISODE 14

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2024/01/05

The great thing about doing Live Music & Me podcasts is that every guest we have on always takes us down their own personal musical memory lane. Going down this episode's lane was the Scottish singer/songwriter/musician & producer Martin Metcalfe, and he was on top form. Martin's musical memories started in 1977, with the Rezillos at the mighty Glasgow Apollo, who supported The Ramones (and were better!) This started a run of Fay Fife/Rezillos/Revillos references, so much so that

NOTHING ELSE MATTRESS. 100 GREATEST ALBUMS. EPISODE 20

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2023/12/22

When we started this podcast over 12 months ago, we weren't entirely sure if we would ever be able to podcast review the top 100 albums from the latest Rolling Stone magazine. Therefore, our podcast panel was especially happy on this recording to be reviewing the final 5 on the Rolling Stone list. And, as luck would have it, this coincided with our podcast Xmas party - cue lots of parallel conversations and wine consumption ( just like any Xmas party) Somewhere in amongst all of the fun - we

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2023/12/09

A momentous day in the life of our podcast - when we finally got to the Top 10 albums on the Rolling Stone's list! Being the top ten - we expected, and got some' big' albums to discuss from: Lauryn Hill Bob Dylan Prince Fleetwood Mac Nirvana We proved by voting out Thriller on our last episode that reputation counts for nothing with our podcast panel & guests. And this episode maintained that tradition - when another 'iconic' album didn't make the cut. As well

LIVE MUSIC & ME - EPISODE 13. JOHN DOUGLAS

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2023/11/28

Question. What do you do when you have recorded a great guest interview on Zoom but the video is buffering throughout? Answer. Convert the file to audio and put it out without the visuals! So, in yet another first for us, on audio only.....we welcome our guest for this episode, the Scottish singer/songwriter/musician John Douglas. Probably best known as a member of the wonderful Trashcan Sinatras, however John has also recently released his self-titled debut solo album, and a mighty fine record

When we ran our Twitter/X polls for this episode, it was the first time that all 5 albums were voted as a yes! So the big question was - would our podcast panel also go for the full house?! The artists on this episode were all strong enough to easily support the idea that their album is one of the best 100 ever, with albums reviewed from :Public Enemy The Rolling Stones Aretha Franklin Michael JacksonThe BeatlesHowever, even allowing for this heavyweight line up, one of them didn't make the

Our last podcast episode was all about surviving the logistical challenges from Storm Babet. Nothing as biblical as that when we recorded Episode 17 of our 100 Greatest Albums music podcast. However, the recording didn't go as planned.... For this Episode we had reached the Top 20 of the Rolling Stone Magazine Top 100 list - and it did give us a super-eclectic list to get our teeth into. Over 90 minutes we discussed/debated and voted on albums from Radiohead ( second one on list) Kendrick

Storm Babet tried it's hardest, however our podcast friends are a hardy bunch! And, after having to re-arrange our recording on two separate occasions, Episode 16 is now available in all its glory! Episode 15 was an all male affair. Episode 16 on the other hand brings together one of our resident panellists Lisa with our special guest, the PR expert, music loving, fanatical gig going, Velvet Underground superfan, Caroline Binnie.

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2023/10/14

For our latest episode of Live Music & Me - our guest was the cultural commentator and host of the cracking Scots Whay Hae podcast, Alistair Braidwood. Alistair is normally the one asking the questions, therefore it was really good fun to have him using the old grey matter recollecting his own musical memories! From a stellar first gig at Ibrox 1986 ( a sold out stadium gig that had lots of room down the front!) , to Grace Jones walking down a staircase at the Barrowland, to missing an early

Over Our Garden Wall ·

2023/09/28

Our latest guest on our occasional series of podcasts on live music memories was the singer/songwriter/musician from The Bluebells & The McCluskey Brothers - Ken McCluskey. Ken's live gig chat ranged from The Damned at the height of punk, to the Young Fathers in Brighton, to U2 in Dublin. There was also chat about playing to 300,000 people in Barcelona with The Bluebells, getting arrested trying to buy a fish supper, and his brother David getting his tent ate by a cow at a festival.

It would be great if all our podcast friends and guests lived on the same street in the same town. However, when they don't, you need technology to be your friend, and so far it has played a blinder. The panel this week was all about quality over quantity. In addition to John Welsh, our guest was Ian Smith, who has been working wonders at our favourite record label, Last Night From Glasgow for a number of years. We reviewed 5 more albums on this episode from Jimi Hendrix ( 3rd album on

Welcome to the latest of our occasional video shorts, where we get some of our friends to talk about their Live Music memories. Our guest for this episode was the writer & musician Chris Thomson from The Bathers. ( who we love!) We covered a wide range of bands, artists & venues with Chris, ranging from first gig recollections ( Bowie at The Glasgow Apollo, cool or what?!) - to most surprised gig ( Van The Man in a stookie) to the bucket gig artist he is still waiting to see ( Dylan)

It's Top 40 time! On this episode we reviewed albums 40-36 from the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Albums list. Its a pretty stellar line up too, with albums discussed from David Bowie, Talking Heads, Bob Dylan, Dr Dre & Michael Jackson. We love having guests join us - and for this episode we are joined by the main man from, amongst others Goodbye Mr MacKenzie & The Filthy Tongues, Martin Metcalfe. Martin is a self confessed Bowie fan, and therefore led the Ziggy discussion. However, he

We reviewed albums 45-41 from the Rolling Stone Greatest Album list - with Prince, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Radiohead & The Rolling Stones all getting some serious chat time. All albums discussed felt a fair bit of love, but only three of them were voted onto our final list. As well as our core panel of podcast friends - we had the pleasure of
