A missing episode! We thought we'd lost this conversation with Boo Radleys founder member Martin Carr, but turns out it was down the back of the settee with some loose change and the telly remote.
So, this chat took place over a year ago and it's an absolute cracker, where we chat about The Boo Radleys, supporting Sugar in the US, seaside radio roadshows and Jimmy Webb. Enjoy!

We chat about Fat White Family, Hebden Bridge Trades Club, that time she managed a band (caution, the C-Bomb is unavoidable here, so please avert young ears) and her love for The Doors. Check out her episode page on our website for loads of video links and a gallery of Fat White Family on the NME tour 2015, photographed by Chris...

Friday Dec 03, 2021
It's a busy episode, this one. It's a great interview with Chris's father-in-law Howard, who had his first professional gig as a jazz saxophonist on New Year's Eve 1959. We talk about the appearance and subsequent domination of rock & roll over traditional jazz, performing across Europe, and his love of the jazz and blues clubs of New Orleans.
If THAT wasn't enough, Chris and Alex discuss the recent NHS gig at Gorilla by The Charlatans, dignity-stripping encounters with famous people, and an exclusive interview with James and Ian from EMF - not to mention a chat about the upcoming live episode with Tony Walsh and James Holt at The Deaf Institute as part of Tim Burgess's Vinyl Adventures Mcr on Sunday 5th December.
Phew!
