Before The Crowd guymonk

Welcome everyone into the latest episode of Before The Crowd. In episode #030 we are celebrating the end of LGBTQIA+ History month by talking to Katy Pickles. Katy is an open pansexual artist who discusses with us the challenges she has faced coming out and her own mental health journey.  We break down stereotypes, equality and also what hurdles Katy has faced in her own life. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting down with Katy and listening to her story as an artist and working within the music industry. So put your headphones on and drink some green tea as you settle into the latest episode of Before The Crowd. 

Hello everybody and welcome into Before The Crowd. In Episode #029 I sit down and talk with Artist Dion Joseph. Dion discusses his debut single, 'Meet Again' and what the song means to him. All proceeds raised from 'Meet Again' will be donated to the North London Hospice.

A special episode: A huge thank to you everyone for all of your support over 2020. For the final episode of the year here is the Best of 2020 Omnibus for Before The Crowd. 

Joining me in this episode is returning guest, Shannon Hynes. Not only do I have the great pleasure of playing drums for Shannon but I also get to talk to her about her latest EP 'Country Words'. Pour yourself a drink and settle in as we dissect the EP track by track and learn about how each song came to life. We discuss the songwriting, recording and release process for the songs as well as why country artists all seem to be obsessed about songs about alcohol. This is one not to miss.

Welcome everyone to this one off (and very sad) special of Before the Crowd. After hearing the tragic news of Eddie Van Halen’s passing I decided to release this podcast. No intro music, no editing, just the raw feeling of loss after hearing the news. Eddie, you are a true rock god and your music and memory will live on forever in our hearts. Rock in Peace!! 

It's September, Autumn is here and this is the first episode of the fall. My guest this time is Giulio Ambrogi, the lead singer and guitarist from Djoolio.
