The Long Drive Home - Richard Jupp (ex-Elbow/educator)

Season 1 · Episode 11

Tuesday, December 29, 2020 • Duration 01:20:22

We're absolutely delighted to have Richard Jupp, former drummer from Elbow (yes, ELBOW) on the podcast to talk us through the lows and indeed HIGHS of being in Elbow. We gave Richard rare permission to also discuss some of his favourite parts of touring and some other wild activities of the A-list life.

A lovely episode that we all thoroughly enjoyed. Richard is a wonderful chap.

The Long Drive Home - John Helps (Maybeshewill)

Season 1 · Episode 10

Sunday, November 15, 2020 • Duration 01:40:51

Episode 10! How did we get here? Who knows...

John Helps of the excellent Maybeshewill gives us the lowdown on his touring escapades both as a musician and as a tour manager for other artists.

This one is particularly explosive and wide reaching and covers some extremely dark content, so, be warned. There are also some very powerful swears.

Tuck in.

The Long Drive Home - James Findlay (Hell is for Heroes)

Season 1 · Episode 9

Sunday, November 8, 2020 • Duration 55:31

HI.

We were delighted to invite Fin (James Findlay), bassist from Hell is for Heroes, onto the show to talk us through the lowest ebbs of touring in the height of the UK Post-Hardcore boom of the early to mid 00s.

Recorded back in ages ago (again), this one covers a lot of ground and the final tale is really quite something. Touring IS fun, promise, but the bad stuff is pretty damn interesting to talk about.

ENJOY.

The Long Drive Home - Andrew Falkous

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 • Duration 01:09:51

HELLO.

After an extremely long break, we've finally got a new episode for you.

This was recorded WAYYYY back in April, peak lockdown and for various tedious reasons, it's not been available till now, HOWEVER we are delighted to have the ultra brilliant Andrew Falkous off of Future of The Left and Mclusky join us to reveal his worst gigs for us and it was a very fun chat indeed.

Due to how long it's taken to get this up, there's a couple of chats relevant to when we recorded it that probably don't make any sense now but whatever, it's still funny.

ENJOY.

Get a nice mug of tea and tuck in.

Hurrah! Another one straight from the heart of Lockdown Britain.

The Long Drive Home - Ben Murray

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, April 8, 2020 • Duration 01:14:04

This week we're joined by Ben Murray, our good friend and front of house engineering extraordinaire to talk over some of his less enthralling experiences as a professional sound engineer. Many beans are spilt and subsequently stood on.

Ben is a brilliant engineer based in Liverpool and he's a director at Total Control Sound, a PA hire company he's built up with his brother John. Ben also occasionally gets the dubious honour of running front of house for us (when we can afford him) at our live shows.

We cover everything from broken PAs, boxes full of dead animals and also read out and respond to some of your tweets.

This is also the first one we've attempted from isolation during the great Coronavirus Lockdown of 2020, thanks to the magic of Zoom.

ENJOY.
