    Glastonbury Review Minisode

    Barney is Back! Our special boy returns to review a special weekend. For this Vinyl Resting Place mini-episode, we’re wrapping up a magical weekend at Glastonbury with a quick-fire rundown of our favourite sets. From surprise moments to massive headline performances, we relive the highlights from the farm and try to do justice to the experience. We did have loads more to say... but the recording cut out. Maybe it’s for the best—by now, you’re probably just about done with Glasto chat. Think of this as a little farewell to one of the best weekends of the year.

    Vinyl Word - Glastonbury 2025

    In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we're turning our attention to Glastonbury the legendary yearly pilgrimage to Worthy Farm that is a bucket list occasion for every music lover. I’m lucky enough to be heading there this year (so no bitterness here), and because I am no longer salty, Glasto gets its own episode. We dive into the mixed reactions to this year’s headliners a trio that’s sparked a bit of controversy and left some feeling underwhelmed. But beyond the pyramid stage, we beam about the unmatched depth and variety the festival has that makes Glastonbury so special, from the seemingly never ending list of DJ sets in the late-night dance spots to scores of bands we can wait to see and the emrging artists just waiting to be stumbled upon. If you're heading down or just watching from home, give us a listen and get gassed for glasto.

    Vinyl Word - Festivals 2025

    In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we’re diving headfirst into festival season 2025, breaking down the best lineups, the must-see acts, and all the chaotic joy that comes with live music in the sun (and sometimes rain). From Lost Village and Truck Festival to Jazz Café Festival and Lido, we explore the incredible variety of artists and genres on offer this summer.  We couldn’t help but notice a trend, that some lineups are starting to look the same so we have tried to focus on festivals that are breaking the mould. We discuss the cookie-cutter feel of many festivals this year, question the lack of risks being taken, and talk about what we’d love to see more of whether it’s bolder bookings, better genre representation, or more space for emerging talent. Expect plenty of nostalgia, a few passionate arguments over things that don’t really matter, and a celebration of everything that makes festivals unforgettable,from incredible headline sets to unexpected hidden gems from artists you've never heard of. Don't worry we will be giving Glastonbury its own episosde!

    33A - Akhali Albomi - Anman

    In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we’re joined by Anman, a Georgian-British musician and multi-medium artist who brings a deeply personal pick to the show: Akhali Albomi by Georgian band 33a and Niaz Diasamidze. Anman opens up about the highs, lows, and creative frustrations of her artistic process, and how she weaves her Georgian heritage into her work. We also discuss her powerful experiences during the Georgian demonstrations, offering a rare and illuminating perspective on the intersection of art, identity, and activism.

    Spoon - Transference - Steven Bamidele

    In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we're joined by soulful singer-songwriter Steven Bamidele as he reflects on a formative album in his musical journey—Spoon’s Transference. Steven shares how the band’s raw sound and songwriting shaped his evolving taste and deepened his appreciation for music. We also talk about the journey of finding artistic identity, especially as a young Black man in the UK, and how those early influences continue to echo in his own work today. Steven was incredibly open about his experiences as an emerging artist, discussing the highs, the challenges, and the realities of carving out space as a creative. It was a real pleasure to have him share his story with such honesty and insight. He’s already having an exciting 2025—having just released his stunning new single “The Fool”, and with a number of amazing live shows on the horizon, it’s clear big things are on the way. Go and give The Fool a spin you will not regret it! - https://youtu.be/U3L2Qgwfdug?si=_xWqoblHiQqP4S3f If you want to see more of Vinyl Resting Place you can find all of our previous episodes here: https://vinylrestingplace.buzzsprout.com/ Check out our TikTok and Insta too why don't ya: @vinylrestingplacepod Host: Dapo Agiri - @dapo_ag Guest: Steven Bamidele -  @StevenBamidele   #stevenbamidele #spoon #transference #vinylrestingplace #musicpodcast #singersongwriter #musicinfluences #indierock #artistjourney #blackbritishartist #musicalidentity #emergingartist #newmusic2025 #thefool #uklivemusic
