    A Fine Musical Spanking With Will (From The Albert) Moore

    In this episode, Darren sits down with long-time friend and legendary Brighton music promoter Will Moore, the man behind 25 years of live music at the Prince Albert, a grassroots venue that launched countless bands and helped shape the UK live scene. Will shares the rarely-heard reality of running a venue, dealing with agents, keeping bands happy, handling egos, spotting red flags, and staying afloat in a constantly changing industry. From Fatboy Slim showing up for a secret gig to booking The White Stripes, Amy Winehouse and The Strokes before they blew up, Will’s stories reveal the heart, chaos and humour of grassroots music. This conversation digs into the strange joy of doing one thing for 25 years and still loving it. A funny, honest and surprisingly inspiring look into the life of a man who kept a music scene alive, one gig at a time.
