    My Music Episode 690 - Professional 101

    In this episode of My Music, Graham Coath is joined by Mani and Rob from Professional 101 for a conversation that starts with their powerful new single "Liar" and quickly expands into something much bigger. Together they explore why we lie to ourselves, how narratives become accepted as truth, and what happens when music becomes a way of making sense of a complicated world. The discussion moves effortlessly between philosophy, politics, creativity, AI, social media, human nature and the role of artists in an increasingly technological society. Along the way, they discuss why being in a rock band is "the greatest lie you can tell yourself," why imperfections make music truly human, the future of live performance, and why Professional 101 are determined to keep creating on their own terms. The episode also looks ahead to the band's ambitious Rock 'n' Roll Freakshow events, their upcoming cover of Madonna's "Vogue", and the release of their debut album, available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats. Thought-provoking, funny and completely unpredictable, this is far more than a music interview. It's a conversation about truth, creativity and why art still matters.

    My Music Episode 689 - FLOK

    Graham kicks this one off with a case of mistaken identity involving a pub, a band name and an office furniture manufacturer in Manchester which tells you something about the kind of conversation this is going to be. Jake is one of the people behind Flok, a four-piece from Manchester who used to be called Blue Train Lines, named themselves after a local pub on something of a whim, and are currently in the middle of a twelve-gig run across eight weeks while spending a lot of money on petrol. In this episode, Graham and Jake get into what it actually takes to build a following from scratch in 2026, why Flok respond to absolutely everyone who reaches out to them, and what it felt like to go from playing in front of nobody to a room full of people who already know the words. They also talk about the Manchester rehearsal studio run by a bloke called David, who has an unexplained obsession with monkeys, why a room that is too clean is the enemy of creativity, and the one song in Flok's set that they have seriously considered never recording in a studio and why that might actually be the point. New single out now. Twelve gigs across the summer. Bristol on the horizon. Well worth your time.

    My Music Episode 688 - Stella Prince

    In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath welcomes Los Angeles singer-songwriter Stella Prince for a warm and wide-ranging conversation about music, identity, ambition, and why the industry sometimes struggles more with labels than with artists. Stella discusses her upcoming UK performances, including a residency at London's Green Note and an appearance at The Long Road Festival alongside artists such as Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle. The pair explore her self-described "Gen Z Folk" sound, growing up surrounded by the music of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Broadway classics, and why she has resisted pressure to fit neatly into a single genre. The conversation also dives into the realities of being an independent artist. From booking tours and radio interviews as a teenager to managing the business side of a music career, Stella shares an honest perspective on what it really takes to build a life in music today. They also talk about her recent cover of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth, recording in Laurel Canyon, favourite Beatles songs, dream collaborations with Noah Kahan, and why Ed Sheeran may be one of the greatest modern examples of a storyteller with a guitar. Along the way, there are discussions about folk music, England, cake, Abbey Road Studios, Stevie Wonder's version of Happy Birthday, and the song Stella still hopes to write about the journey from childhood to adulthood. A thoughtful, funny and inspiring conversation with an artist who combines old-soul storytelling with a distinctly modern voice.
