    This heartwarming episode of the Electronically Yours podcast features a Sheffield legend, lead singer of immensely popular The Everly Pregnant Brothers, Shaun Doane AKA Big Shaun.

    Apart from his larger than life and very popular stage character, in his own words he is ‘foul mouthed but articulate, intimidating in size and stature but poster boy for the term ‘gentle giant’’.

    An amazing story from an incredible person…

    Ladies and gentlemen, witness the rollercoaster ride of talent and fame that is the one and only Big Shaun.

    EP188: Robert Goerl and Hanna Rollmann (D.A.F.)

    This Electronically Yours episode features an interview with Robert Goerl, founder of the seminal German electropunk band Deutsche Americanische Freundschaft or D.A.F.

    From Melody Maker in 1981…‘Most bands get a synthesizer and their first idea is to tune it! They want a clean normal sound. They don’t work with the power you get from a synthesizer ... We want to bring together this high technique with body power so you have the past time mixed with the future.’

    Ladies and Gentlemen- The Voice That Dwells Within - meet Robert Goerl with Hanna Rollman...

    EP186: Robert Fripp pt.1

    Today’s epic episode of Electronically Yours features one of my all-time musical heroes (forgive the pun), the astronomical talent that is Robert Fripp.

    As a musical artist with King Crimson, through to his incredible works with Eno, Bowie, Gabriel, Blondie and so so many more, he has astonishingly created over 700 official releases over his unique 50-year career - in fact our conversation was so wide-ranging and fascinating that I had to split it into two episodes…

    Ladies and gentlemen - meet my favourite guitarist ever, the magnificent Robert Fripp...

Amaze host and fascinating guests

Listening to Electronically Yours makes me feel like a true in-the-know music insider. With Martyn Ware as my guide I am learning so much about the artists and industry professionals who don’t always get a spotlight turned on them. From legends like Moby to the avant- guard such as Scanner (Robin Rimbaud) to attention on those who work more behind the scenes in the music industry - wow! - who will be next on this podcast? There are gems of anecdotal insights peppered into every episode. Candid, authentic and engaging - if you love music as much as I do then this is a podcast for you!

Excellent!

Just recently discovered this and currently working my way through the back catalog. Martyn has an idiosyncratic style of interviewing. It can take some getting used to, but it’s worth persevering. I had doubts at first, but I’ve grown to love it. Fantastic stuff. Love The Human League and Heaven 17. Fascinating to get to know the guy behind those bands, and to hear him speak with other contemporaries who I know and admire, and to learn more about those who I don’t know much about but should. Please keep up the good work!

A Classic digging in with other Classics

I was appreciative if not a fan’s fan of early Human League. And now because of this podcast?Huge fan of Martyn. And so the music too, along with all the other crate digging it’s caused.
