This week we welcome Phil Ireland to the podcast, who has navigated all corners of the music business. Phil originally honed his graft as a grade 8 bassist, playing in various bands during his developmental rise.
His hard work paid off when he joined hard rock band “Exit State.” From that point it was a whirlwind of highs and lows, as the band pushed to truly make it. With backing of the fans, Exit state pushed the world’s biggest bands in the music video charts, back when fan lead voting was in place.
The crunch point came when Exit State were drafted in the final two bands to tour with Muse, a moment which changed their lives, for better or worse. We hope you enjoy EXCLUSIVE INSIGHTS into the fabrics of the band.
Whilst giving us an open and honest insight into the music business, Phil is constantly evolving as a musician. After reforming as a solo artist after covid, his most recent album “Ruling Days” is a reflection on his decision to take to the local pub scene.
Whilst adapting to the cover music, Phil has found inspiration in the more “poppy” tunes in his own writing.

This week we welcome the very popular local singer songwriter Connor Banks. With over ten years of live gigging under his belt, you’d be shocked to discover Connor is just twenty one years old. We cover all parts of his short, but productive, life as a musician.
Connor threw himself in the deep end age from the age of 12, getting regular gigs in the pubs and pushing himself to audition for shows such as X-factor. As he has grown into a young man, Connor admits he has never had “a normal job” and after gaining a following during covid live streams, he hasn’t looked back.
Connor is now rapidly rising in the original music world, releasing his own music and performing it at original music venues around the North. With a band formulated around his music, Connor has sold out local venues such as Chorley Little Theatre.

Recently retired local singer Laura Summers takes us on her musical journey. From being a contestant on pop idol to being auctioned at music showcases, Laura had some humble beginnings in the music world. This gave her the experience to come back to live gigging after giving it up to move away. 
In what could be considered a “emotional rollercoaster” of an episode we talk about the highs and lows of being on the pub gig circuit, and how the scene has evolved over time.
We also cover Laura’s big decision to recently step away from performing, and her struggles that has presented. If you like a game or two, stick around to the end where we take on a musical version of “Overrated or underrated.”

Welcome to our very first Christmas special. This week we are joined by lead guitarist Liam Tamber, and Flash Floods lead singer Chris Bowden. From Chris giving birth to baby Jesus in a pub, to Lee ruining Christmas, it’s an episode of none stop laughs.
It’s just 4 men (and a couple of lady boys) having a few beers chatting nonsense at Christmas. We review 2023 as musicians, play some Christmas games, take a football diversion, then finally set our goals for 2024. If you can’t go off script at Christmas, when can you?
