New Music Podcas‪t‬ Netsounds

As we come to the end of a grim year and look forward to a more positive one, it's an opportunity to take stock and revisit some ace sessions we were fortunate enough to capture in recent years.

For this "Archive Session" podcast we go back as far as 2011 with Fatherson at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and some of our more recent session from the summer of 2019. 

Although nearly all these sessions are available on our YouTube page, it's the first time some have been featured on our podcast and in the case of The Sea Atlas the first time the session has been published.

Featuring:

Miracle Glass Company
Ferris & Sylvester
The Burning Hell
Siobhan Wilson
Keir Gibson
Zoe Graham
Woodenbox
Fatherson
PAWS
The Sea Atlas

The Natter... is a new series of podcasts that has grown out of our "isolation interviews" that we ran during the coronavirus lockdown. 

It's a "talky" podcast that focusses on individuals in the music scene.

Our first "Natter with..." features one of the unsung heroes of the Scottish music scene, Calum Martin.  An audio technician who runs his own production company that has brought sound and light to venues and festivals across the Highlands of Scotland and beyond.

Going into 2020 we wanted to change the format of our podcast.  Firstly we wanted to invite more voices and guests onto the podcast to share their passion for music, their stories and experiences. Secondly we wanted to feature less music.  A new music podcast with little or no music - had we lost our minds?

We wanted to move the podcast away from the "radio format" and feature people talking about music, what inspires them and to create a podcast that was more about music banter than the playing of songs.  After all, you can stream what you want whenever you want.  Going forward we hope the podcasts will feature new and emerging acts and music geek guests who will provide context to the songs they've written and and tell stories about the music and songs they love.

For our first podcast in this new format we sat down and chatted with Inverness based musician, Iain McLaughlin who aside from fronting Iain McLaughlin & the Outsiders, he has his own studio where he produces and records new artists.

We featured two tracks on this episode:

Robin Abbot  – She Once Cared

Iain McLaughlin – Don't Speak (Netsounds Session)
