Time For Heroes Martin Morel

Fresh of the back of The Blonde Parade episode, I'm back with another!
Jack Valero releases his latest single 'Karaoke Dreams' this Friday (07.06.24) as part of an EP which follows in September, so i wanted to get this episode out now, on the EP Jack has been working with Jamie Webster and the rest of the scouse wrecking crew and what they have produced is some of Jack's catchiest tunes too date, be sure to check it out as soon as you've finished listening to this chat!
If you ain't aware, Jack is the son of another famous troupadour, Billy Bragg and we discussed how Jack had to find his own identity whilst also struggling with OCD. Jack spoke with fascinating insight into both subjects plus loads more as well as choosing his heroes too!

So, after a few busy weeks, the podcast is back with another episode and this time out I'm speaking to Scully, frontman of £ piece band. The Blonde Parade, predominantly from Ayrshire but with a sprinkling of Fife thrown in for good measure!
In their short career to date the band have ticked off some huge milestones already, from releasing debut album 'Wanderlust', working with acclaimed producer JP Reid (Sucioperro and Marmaduke Duke) and playing the legendary Dublin Castle in London.
We spoke about all this and much more and of course Scully picked his heroes!

We're going international this week and with the Euro's on the horizon i thought, what better than a German artist!
Simon Graupner AKA Shelter Boy may very well be German but he has a very British sound, citing The Beatles, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T among his influences, with the latter even being namechecked on his new album!
I spoke to Simon about his life growing up in the old East Germany and how that shaped his music, his love for British music and when we can expect to see him on a UK tour. as well as lots more, check out the links below and have a listen to his music, I guarantee you'll be impressed!

An absolute dream to speak to this boy!
Callum '29' Wilson plays Bass in The Snuts, a band that I've frequently referenced on the podcast and one of theee best bands going right now!
Since debut album WL was released in 2021 The Snuts have released another two, Burn The Empire and latest offering Millenials, as well as that they've left their record label and set up their own, the band are fresh of the back of 2 Barrowlands shows and a tour of North America, and about to go out to Australia and Japan before a UK tour in the autumn.
We spoke about all this and Callum gave me an insight into how things REALLY work on Sunday Brunch, and at the end he picked his heroes too!
