Jerry Stevenson Success Secrets for Musicians.

Jerry returns to the podcast, and we look in depth at what makes a successful creative musician.

The points raised work for any artist gleaned from many years of experience of working as a top guitarist.

This gets very deep and very interesting, and I my opinion are the things not taught in college and go to the very essence of what makes an artist.  

Jerrys credits include Chris Rea, Barbara Dickson and Procul Harum and well as playing for the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Heather Bentley Strings, From Classical to Improvisation, Composer, Trailblazer.

I am chatting to the multitalented Heather Bentley today. This is a great chat about her journey in music. There are some amazing insights here from a wonderful musician.

Seattle-based violist and composer Heather Bentley has trailblazed a career as one of the West Coast’s most visible improvisatory musicians, specializing in creating evocative atmospheres and textures.

Classically trained, she has shifted to an unabashedly experimental artistic output: As a performer, she can be seen performing on instruments like her electric seven string and five string violins or her electronic pedal board in numerous chamber ensembles that utilize improvisation, electronics, and often both.

As a composer, her work for chamber ensembles and orchestras has been performed by organizations across the US. Relentless in her pursuit of creativity, she continues this work as co-founder of Kin of the Moon, a 501(c)3 organization which fosters collaboration between artists in service of creating unique art.

The idea of representation of objects with symbols as magical process and the psychology of magic looking at the intrinsic paradox.

What's all this thing about evolution? Our journey also takes us into the Vikings and their relationships with the gods and the fairy world.

In a second replaying of Matt Ogden's Christmas podcast with me. Enjoy Matt's wonderful comic episode. 

Joseph of Nazareth Carpenter, Saint, Father, and Protector of Virgins In a special Christmas edition, I have the pleasure and the honour to speak to Joseph of Nazareth Joseph speaks about being a Carpenter in a Roman province and the pluses and minuses that affords him. He spent some time talking about the lineage and a little bit about the life of his famous son. According to the Matthew's Gospel, Joseph agonized over Mary's apparently illegitimate pregnancy but protected her and the unborn Jesus by accepting her as his wife after an angel appeared to him in a dream and directed him to do so. Receiving rich presents from mysterious eastern magi at Bethlehem after Jesus' birth, he then fled to Egypt to avoid the wrath of Herod the Great, returning to the land of Israel after Herod's death and settling in Nazareth. In Luke's account, Joseph travels to Bethlehem for a census and returns to Nazareth without going to Egypt, after presenting Jesus publicly in the Temple of Jerusalem.

This is such an amazing story that it needs another listen. One of the inspiring tales that is very weird. 

I am really pleased to be talking to an old friend of mine, Kevin Lee. 

Kevin was a school friend, who from humble beginnings, has lived an interesting life. His amazing story  involves music, martial arts, famous musical families and vintage cars. 

Great insights into how things happen, seemingly by chance but how luck can be stacked in your favour. 

Matt who had become part of my seasonal festivities died recently and as a tribute for the next two episodes I will be rerunning our previous frivolities. 

Santa Special It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to things festive, to the sharing of love, the sharing of joy, of light and happiness. But this doesn’t happen without a bit of effort from all of us. Not least the jolliest of the jolly. In a world exclusive, I manage to track down and grab a few minutes of very precious time to talk with the big guy himself during a quick coffee break. I learn a little about what it really takes to make the festive season happen, how long it’s actually been happening, and in this social-media-driven world, what hashtag Santa thinks best describes the true nature of the season. Many thanks to Matt Ogden for putting me in contact with the Big Man,

Elliott talks of his journey from the Toons through various bands and then Covid to work in crews managing sales DJ work, sight reading bass gigs.

Elliott’s story shows how flexibility and the ability to take a challenge has really created his life in music.

This is an amazing skill that Elliott possesses, and I have seen him transform himself a few times over the years I’ve known him.

How to Bootstrap with No Bootstraps.

Today I reflect on developing an idea whether that's for business or art or both when you have no funds. Even when bootstrapping an idea is difficult because you don't even have any bootstraps.

This comes out of the conversation that I had with two previous podcast interviewees, Tommie Kelly about Stuart Wilde and his book The Trick to Money, and Trish Nichol who came up with the no bootstrap idea.

I am recording this while walking in Kent, England.

Walking on sand

This is a short solo show about finding the source of your inspiration. I go to my personal source and explore how that can relax and give space for ideas.

The ideas can be creative or restorative. My personal source will not be yours but the way of finding them might be.

Tommie Kelly on Stuart Wilde, New Age, Occult, Predictions

It is great to have the multitalented Tommie Kelly back on the podcast and today we're talking about Stuart Wilde.

Stuart was one of the biggest and well-known writers in the new age movement back in the 1980s and early 1990s but he's more or less disappeared from view today. Stuart died about 10 years ago but if you talk to anyone now, very few people will know of Stuart Wilde.

Both Tommie and I consider Stuart to be an important writer with lots of ideas that are relevant today. We discuss his books, what he was like as a person and some of the interesting events that happened around him. We also discuss his ability to shock, as well as being one of the funniest guys that you could meet.

Tommy talks about some of his new projects including his music, his comics and his oracle cards. For further details visit.

Occasionally, he had acoustic guitar and songwriting lessons with Max Milligan. He holds a Master's Degree - MMus in Songwriting - from Bath Spa University, under the tuition of Davey Ray Moor. He's currently working towards his PhD, under the supervision of Professor Amanda Bayley and Dr Matthew Sergeant. While his main instrument is the guitar, he enjoys playing other instruments, such as piano, baglamás, ukulele, blues harp, bass guitar, banjo, lap steel guitar, tzourás, stylophone, bouzouki… In any case, the sound is what matters the most!

At the same time, Nassos started working as an administrative assistant in the LCM and RGT examinations representative office in Greece, as well as for guitarfor. He has undertaken the promotion, online publishing, photo shooting, web design and he has contributed in organising concerts and seminars with musicians like Larry Goldings Trio, Kurt Rosenwinkel New Quartet, Larry Carlton, Adam Levy, Jonathan Kreisberg Quartet, Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, Andy McKee, to name but a few.

Stage Performance Techniques, Bluescampuk 2023

This is a live recording of a workshop that Chris Penfold and I conducted at this year's BluescampUK at Tonbridge School.

As this was only recorded with contact lapel microphones there is some external sound with people playing drums at parts of the recording but there are some brilliant ideas here that if you're involved in presentation, you would find useful.

Using what you've got

 This follows from my chat with Chris Penfold about making good and mending. This one is about using what you've got. We can talk about this from a material point of view, where you're using equipment that you already have, but it's also about your skills, and you have many of these placed within other areas of activity; bringing these on board will benefit you.

I spoke about something that Michael Breen said during an NLP training. The story was that his wife was very good at interior design; she could change colours and items in a room in her head, but it made her a nightmare to take out for dinner because she would do the same thing with the items on the menu. She would make endless comparisons between different dishes in different courses.

So look at all the skills that you have as a musician. You may also be a good people person, being a good communicator. That may be evident within your music, but it might not be. If you're not a very good people person and you're trying to be a teacher, then that would be a problem.

However, if you're not good at that but may be good at organising or something else, you could bring those skills to the front to help with project management.

As he was in the army, Chris was talking about the British Army having to be inventive because they didn't always have the equipment to fix the problem. They have to think it through and work out how they could accomplish the task with the gear that they have.

So, for instance, if you have a guitar, a music stand and a computer, you could set yourself up as a teacher. If you've got a car, you can travel to people. You don't need to go and buy a more expensive guitar or equipment to accomplish that. Now that on the face of it is obvious, you'll be surprised because I have coached people who would become teachers who had the idea that they needed new equipment so they could set this up. It's unnecessary, but you could also look at that from the point of view of what you require to be a performer. You only need what you have.

I interviewed Billy Childish, the artist and punk musician. Billy comes out of this aspect of using primitivism in what he does, particularly musically, so the idea of limitations is good. He has a couple of old amps, one which dates back to the 60s, possibly even earlier than that and a couple of old battered-up guitars, nothing new, and he has managed to produce well over 150 albums. It all comes from the perspective of keeping it simple, even the recording techniques. This idea of garage recording is playing in an ample space with the band and then just going into a studio and putting the vocals over the top.

He has done this for years, and it enabled him to produce a lot of albums with that very raw sound, and it influenced many bands, including the White Stripes.

So another aspect of working with what you've got also involves people; obviously, this presents a sharp focus on how good your networking is.

You probably know The people you need to form a band or the people who know them you already know. I think it's always problematic when you audition people because you don't know their personalities particularly well; the chemistry between various members makes a band, so working with the people you already know will lead to a better lineup.

I would also say this is true of running a team for business. If you're starting something new, you can headhunt the people you know; that's a good way forward.

The excellent book by Tony Buzan is called Genius, and it's all about such genius and Mastermind groups.

This book sites that many geniuses didn't do the stuff on their own they had help from very influential people, and that enabled them to develop not the way that history is taught; we always go for the grand man narrative, and to some extent, there is an element of that you know the great person that focuses attention. Still, they can't do this independently, and there's often more than one great mind that goes into creating and achieving.

You need to be able to work with others and be flexible with that, and again, if these people already know, then you're more likely to do that because I'll be friends of yours

Chris Holdham Foraging Rewilding Us

In this episode of Creative I am talking to Chris Holdham who I meet whilst walking in a woodland!

Great chat with Chris about his work, foraging and teaching others.

I will leave it to Chris to explain

Hi, I'm Chris and have been developing the projects at Rewilding Us for a number of years. You'll be joining me on our wild walks.

A little about me... My deeper wild food journey stemmed from being on a plant based diet for 8 years. After spending years seeking the healthiest diet for my body and the environment, my journey turned into an all round rewilding experience, foraging my own water, plants and meat for the benefit of my body and the the rest of life on earth. This is a journey that is reflected in the courses, the majority are vegan orientated, however, we do cater for all walks of life.

Pete Turner of Pete Turner Guitars

This episode i am talking to Pete about those fantastic guitars and how he started, and we contemplate how much the guitar he made for Peter Green will be auctioned for at Bonners.

As a left-handed guitar player, Pete Turner was frustrated at the lack of choice available in acoustic guitars. So a few years ago he decided to make his own. Impressed, the partners at lefty shop Holiday Music each bought one, and enquiries started coming in from the local musicians' community on what else he had available.

I am lucky to have two of his guitars!

Helen Wilson Nursing, End of Life, Consciousness

In this episode I am talking to Helen Wilson about her life in nursing, working in end of life care and what we can learn from our elders regarding consciousness.

This is a fascinating talk about people’s lives whether that is someone involved in the Dam Busters Raid to those who are spritely at 104 to those suffering from dementia at 40 and those who have profound experiences and how an ordinary life can contain such extraordinary meaning.

This is a great chat and we were only scratching the surface so I am looking forward to chat with Helen again. It was also very good to meet Doogie the dog who makes a grand entrance.

Trish Nichol, writer, poet, singer and player of the ukulele.

I chat to the wonderful Trish Delish Nichol about her fascinating creative life.

Trish’s biog is so good I have left it in her words.

Born and raised on the west coast of Canada, though her forays into the world outside a small island in the Pacific have taken and will take me far from the place I once called home.

I’m on an adventure, a journey of the in and the out. A quest of sorts, to find quintessence.

Fortunately Satori is everywhere.

So there shouldn’t be too much trouble.

I’ve been writing for a long time, that classic tale of “since I could hold a pen”, etc.

I’ve been talking about my feelings on the internet via this blog since 2009.

In 2018, I published my first book with the help of a grant from the CKCA (Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance) which gave me the kick in the pants I needed to actually get it done.

Never underestimate the benefit of a well-timed kick in the pants.

It’s a book of poetry called the Mechanics of Dreaming, available in physical and digitally via Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon

I wrote and published a horror novella called Tales from the Busmeat Cafe Volume One: The Secret in the Sauce as a collaborative effort with my cohort, Mr Dark. It is available exclusively in digital form on Amazon and Smashwords. We are currently working on Volume Two.

Poetry, horror, rambly meanderings, silly videos of drunkalele antics, art, musings, there are all sorts of things within this site to amuse, befuddle, and engage.

I hope you find something that makes you smile – Trish
