    Series 1 - Episode 8 Alex Levine of Gaslight Anthem

    Series 1 - Episode 8 Alex Levine of Gaslight Anthem

    Gaslight Anthem 

    Today in the chair for this episode of  BarberTalk - Tales from the chair, we have a gentleman I met while in Vancouver working on a hair show. We spoke for two days about all things I loved, hair, punk rock, Disney, wrestling and mental health, it wasn't until later on during the 3rd day together that Mark Peyton, the show organiser said 'you do realise that's Alex from Gaslight Anthem don't you?' I was shocked he hadn't mentioned it but we had bonded and opened up to each other about so much to one another I found it great that he didn't feel the need to talk about his HUGE success as a globally touring rock star. Now with new band Forgivers and founder of Idle Hands

    This chat from the chair is one of the best yet and Alex, is so open about mental health and his struggles I am sure this episode will help someone.

Great Job, Tom.

Tom Chapman’s BarberTalk podcasts are a great listen; they’re both entertaining and informing in equal measure. This is especially commendable when you consider that the subject matter is of such importance and sensitivity.
