Customer Reviews
Brilliant and a must for music lovers
I found this late and have been loving catching up - still 18 episodes to go.
Great insight as it’s rockers talking to rockers. Have found myself dipping into music again or finding new music like Gary’s “waiting for the band” and Def Leppards Yeah album. Great job Gary & Guy
Love this!!!
I’m a late comer to the podcast and am playing catch up whilst running. Double David Coverdale, Scott Gorham and Glenn Hughes. Also impressed by the broad spectrum of guests - great to hear that Gary and Guy are like minded in that music IS just that…Music. Please ask Ricky Warwick to be a guest.
Brilliant!
I didn’t want this to end ! Excellent chat with Terry Reid so modest and so many great stories ! You have to get him back on! I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while now and it’s become my favourite podcast. It’s amazing who you’ve managed to invite, many of them my music heroes. The recent Mick Hucknall episode was also fascinating, I now have a far greater appreciation of his music knowing some of the background stories. He is someone else you need to ask back!
