    Nick Fyffe: From Leaving Jamiroquai to Playing with Deep Purple

    What does it feel like to leave one of the biggest funk bands in the world… and then walk on stage with Deep Purple? 🎸🔥 In this episode, Rob Cass sits down with Nick Fyffe — former bassist of Jamiroquai — to unpack the wild, honest, and sometimes chaotic journey behind his career.Nick shares how he originally wanted to be a drummer, how discovering Hendrix shifted his direction, and how a simple moment — “You play bass” — changed everything. Inspired by Flea, he fell in love with the sound of the instrument and soon found himself in the band everyone wanted to be in: Jamiroquai. We talk about the pressure, the surreal high-stakes gigs (including flying to Germany for a soundcheck on the same day he got the call), and the hard truth behind leaving the band — “bad life choices” and lessons learned.Beyond the headlines, this conversation dives into musicianship and mindset: subbing for Roger Glover in Deep Purple through Ian Paice’s connections, playing with The Temperance Movement, producing music for passion rather than money, and why Nick loves playing but not practicing. He even performs his five favorite basslines live 🎶 Honest, reflective, and refreshingly real — this episode is about risk, groove, and finding the right people to create the right sound.

    European Guitar Quartet: The Beatles of Classical Guitar

    What happens when four guitarists connect so deeply that it feels almost telepathic? 🎸 In this episode, Rob Cass welcomes European Guitar Quartet — Reentko Dirks, Thomas Fellow, Pavel Steidl, and Zoran Dukić — for an inspiring and often hilarious conversation about music, instinct, and true musical connection. From the first notes to the last laugh, this is not a typical classical guitar talk — it’s a hands-on masterclass on how to think like a musician, master your instrument, and overcome the challenges on the road to becoming a great guitarist. 🎊 We dive into their journey to becoming “the Beatles of classical guitar” and explore why the guitar became a symbol of freedom for them. The interview is packed with unforgettable stories: being told “Stop! Don’t make music”, choosing between becoming a ballet dancer or a guitarist, glued nails before concerts, and completely losing it with laughter on stage 😄. Along the way, they share hard-earned insights on what beginners really need to learn and why the guitar should talk, sing, laugh, and cry. European Guitar Quartet are among the most celebrated guitar ensembles today, having performed in over 16 countries at legendary venues such as Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow. Blending classical tradition with world music, jazz, groove, and modern fingerstyle, they continue to redefine what concert guitar can be. This episode is for guitarists — and for anyone who believes music truly starts from within ✨.

Steve reflects candidly on his struggles with addiction, the creative highs of working with Chick Corea, the deep musical brotherhood he shares with Clapton, and why timing, feel, and the “bus factor” are everything when it comes to being a great bandmate. 🚌🎶Whether he’s talking about Gaddiments, the lost golden era of music, or walking off stage mid-show in Japan — Gadd’s honesty, warmth, and musical genius shine through.
