    Aaron Duff (Hector Gannet)

    Aaron Duff is the singer, songwriter and the driving force behind one of the North East’s most successful bands, Hector Gannet. He has sold out Hexham’s The Vault three times in a row. Aaron’s work is strongly identified with his hometown of North Shields and he writes about aspects of his life there and the area’s history. But his songs are far deeper than those words suggest – carefully written, dealing with personal issues that we all experience and filled with melodic twists. Add to that Aaron’s continuing urge to evolve the arrangements of the songs and the instrumentation of the band, and you begin to appreciate the quality of his music. I spoke to Aaron at the Engine House, a small venue in North Shields that is highly valued by grass roots musicians, shortly after his return from performing at the prestigious South by Southwest festival in Texas. We spoke about how the band came to be, how important it is for a performer to be true to himself, the inspiration for and challenges of songwriting, and the forthcoming Hector Gannet album The Great Shakedown. This episode includes three singles from the album – The Jetty’s End, A Stitch in the Fold and Seven Signs. You can find Aaron’s music on Hector Gannet’s Bandcamp page and there is information about the band and tour dates on its web site https://hectorgannet.com I’d like to thank Mark Elliott of noredindian artist management for his help with putting this episode together.

    Rupert Hughes and The Often Herd

    My guest today is Rupert Hughes, guitarist, singer and songwriter with the bluegrass band The Often Herd, and also a guitar tutor, sideman for the likes of Martin Stephenson, and someone who has been known to knock out the occasional classic in his other band Rupert Hughes and the Old News. The Often Herd are one of the North East’s most successful bands. They’ve taken their brand of bluegrass all over the country and toured Europe. In 2025, their talent was recognised with an award from the International Bluegrass Music Association that will take them to the United States this year to play in Nashville, Kentucky and at the Grand Ol’ Opry. Rupert suggested three songs to include in this episode. They are: Cool Summer Rain, Sycamore Gap and Remember my Name. You can find these and the band’s album Where The Big Lamp Shines, on their Bandcamp page, and there some excellent videos of live performances on their YouTube channel. https://theoftenherd.bandcamp.com/music https://www.youtube.com/@TheOftenHerd This is a public episode.

    Mr Ant's Bar

    Today’s episode is the second in which we take a look behind the scenes at the practicalities and challenges of providing music in grass roots venues. This time, I’m talking to Richard and Eileen, the proprietors of Mr Ant’s Bar in Hexham. Mr Ant’s has been a success through several years in which business has been difficult for the hospitality industry. As part of their strategy to create a strong brand identity for the bar, Richard and Eileen provide live music every Friday night – usually a solo act or duo performing familiar covers but with room for some original music too. Recently, they decided to take a step forward and put on a full band on a Saturday once a month. In this episode, Richard and Eileen talk about their business and their thinking in developing this side of the live music they offer. I also talk to the musician Colm Charles Gray, who was performing at Mr Ant’s, to learn about the path that took him there and about his experience of playing in this setting. You can follow Mr Ant’s Bar on Facebook. Colm, and his band The Quiet Fire, is on Instagram. This is a public episode.

    Today’s episode takes a look behind the scenes at the music business you’ll encounter on a Friday night in the pub. Matty J Erskine talks about how he came to be a pub DJ, MC and quiz host, charting his career from his early, try-anything days at sports events to MC-ing festivals like BAAFest. He reflects on the lessons he’s learned over many years of making sure that people enjoy a good evening out, the challenges facing grass roots musicians and the financial realities of making music available in public settings.
