There's been plenty in the press around the big players in the industry, but how have smaller artists and independent producers been managing during lockdown? Ollie, Nick & Joe from Follower are back for part 2 of their lockdown edition of the 'Behind The Mic' podcast: the show where we peel back the curtain on life on and off-stage try to learn a little along the way.

If you're new here, our name is Follower, a little band from the UK with a penchant for loud guitars and terrible jokes.

Having got our current lineup together just before lockdown hit, we're bursting with new tracks and ideas to share with you so will be flooding this channel with content over the coming months. In the meantime, you can listen to our previous EP via the links above.

Thanks for listening today and massive hugs/high fives/excited squealing in your general direction if you share this video on to a friend!

Big love,

Follower
