David Dhannoo ,

Great concept, perfect for any music fan

No matter what genre of music you're into this is worth a listen, love the guests' stories and how the music they've listen to has shaped them. Steve's a great podcast host, patient, asks great questions, he's really engaging, and makes the guests feel relaxed. It was an honour to appear on episode 41. 5/5 pod.

James Barker1 ,

Great idea. Original. Just what’s needed.

Brilliant pod. Loved it. Latest episode was great with Jeremy Michael. It felt like we were getting ready for a festival.

Pyrrhus ,

Superb stuff

Fantastic and original way of getting people to chat about the music they love - wish I'd thought of the idea first! Steve is a warm and knowledgable host so it was an absolute pleasure being a guest, but all of the episodes have offered something great, from recommendations of unfamiliar music to funny anecdotes about celebrity encounters and gig experiences. All music lovers should check it out!
