On this week’s podcast:

🎭 Comedian Rachel Fairburn
Recently nominated for The Next Big Thing by the British Comedy Guide, Rachel is taking her new show Side Eye—a blend of stand-up and sketches—on tour across the UK. We also delved into her biggest passion outside of comedy, proving there’s much more to her than just making us laugh!

🎶 Olly Knights from Turin Brakes
Celebrating 25 years in the music industry, Olly and the band are heading out on an intimate acoustic tour across UK theatres. We chatted about the lessons learned from their journey, the challenges of today’s music market, and—most importantly—whether we’ll hear new music from them soon!

🎤 SJ from Morganway
The Americana powerhouse is already on their third album and embarking on a UK tour, including stops at independent record stores to promote their latest release. SJ shared insights into their electrifying live shows, some behind-the-scenes hilarity (including her self-confessed clumsiness), and what makes Morganway one to watch!
