For some of us 2021 was the first time we had heard the name Charlie Watts. But for others he had always been that drummer sitting at the back of the Rolling Stones - a man who lived a life almost at opposites with everything we know about the Stones. A man that scaled the heights of Rock n roll while wearing a tailor made three piece suit. Todays guest is Alan Clayson, English singer-songwriter, author and music journalist. Starting his career as the leader of 70s rock band, he would eventually establish himself as a prolific writer of music biographies covering Beatles, The Stones, Roy Orbison, Led Zeppelin, the list goes on! In short Alan knows his rock n roll and it was so much fun to just chew into some history and crazy rock n roll stories with him. We recorded this just after Charlie Watts passing in late 2021, and we talk about Charlie Watts career and life as a jazz drummer who found himself outrageously successful playing music he had never planned too with the Stones - we cover some outrageous facts and stories of Rock n roll life how Charlie and Mick where kind of two ends of the spectrum and we dig into how Alan writes and selects his musical subjects.

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a great rock n roll band? How and why do they stay together? How do they keep the magic alive? And where does all that great music come from?  Todays guests are Ian Haug and Steve Bishop, two thirds of Brisbane band The Predators - who with John Collins - were the three founding members of drum roll… one rock group called Powderfinger.  In this chat recorded just prior to their debut album EVERYBODY LOVES released in 2021 - we dig into their early days in the flourishing Brisbane music scene in the late 80s and 90 also known as BUMS - you’ll understand that later…  they talk about Powderfinger's formation and the early days of gigging before discussing what makes a band tick, what kind of animal predator I would be and what brought them back together to make music as the The Predators today. Before we get to it don’t forget to follow us wherever you get your podcasts - or subscribe to the show on Youtube. You can follow me @bradleymccawoffficial everywhere you get socials and why not share this episode with a friend. Yeah that sounds lovely… I bet they’ll love it.  We kick off Ian and Steve talking about the early days of Powderfinger and my receiving what I thought was the coolest press release in our shows history.

What does that term ‘artist’ mean? How and where do we learn how to be one? And how do artists actually support themselves and others in a community and business that can be isolating, competitive and ultimately terribly rewarding and meaningful.  Todays guest is Tyran Park Australia’s award-winning singer, actor, director and recording artist. He is currently the Head of Music Theatre at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), the Executive Producer of the Australian Musical Theatre Festival and the Artistic Director of Clovelly Fox Theatre Company.
