Nicole's art form of choice is her dancing, but she isn't looking for an audience to watch her work. For her it's much more personal, and considering this podcast is mostly filled with people who have something to promote, I thought it would be interesting to hear from someone who isn't looking for a stage. Thank you Nicole for your time, thank you all for listening, and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Moon Williams graced me with his presence once again, this time to continue his story and also to ruminate on his career as a whole.

Thank you all for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Gimel Hooper was the surprise headliner at last night's open mic, and since he was only in town for a short period of time I simply had to seize my chance to talk with him. This is a talk with someone who has spent a lifetime honing and appreciating their craft, which is why they can speak in such riveting detail about what it is they do. You can find Gimel online at: -- www.instagram.com/gimels_media/ -- as well as: -- www.instagram.com/friday_night_live_comedy/ -- Thank you Gimel, and thank you all for listening. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Mary C. Parker performed her comedy at one of my open mics for the first time maybe an hour before we had this chat.

Dan Caleb is a London-based singer-songwriter ( -- www.instagram.com/dancalebmusic -- ), Rob Comba is the host of the podcast "My Favourite Elliott Smith Song" ( -- www.myfavouriteelliottsmithsong.com/ -- ), and by their powers combined they put together last night's celebration of Elliott Smith on what would have been his 50th birthday. The night was also a fundraiser for the charity Help Musicians UK ( -- www.helpmusicians.org.uk -- ) These two folks are amazing, the whole night was amazing, and I'm terribly grateful that I could be part of it all.

Joss, Matt, and Tom first crossed my radar at my Monday open mic in Camden back in around September 2018, so it was a very pleasant surprise to find them at this show too. I'm glad they also remembered me, and I'm glad they agreed to have a little chat with me for the podcast too. Their's is a slightly different approach to assembling a band, but it is definitely working for them. You can see more of what they get up to at: -- www.instagram.com/jossmogli/ -- and there is a clip of their performance at the end of this episode. Thank you all for listening, thank you to Joss Mogli for joining me, and I'll catch you all on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Rose White & Jack are long awaited guests on this podcast, and they also happen to be playing my next live event at Roadtrip and The Workshop on Tuesday 20th August. I travelled to west London for this chat, The Half Moon in Putney to be precise, where Rose White & Jack were performing as part of the New Moon Mondays that they have there. This chat was a great chance to find out how Rose and Jack both came to London, and how they found each other. If you want to see more of them you can find them at: -- www.facebook.com/osrodkaaa -- and there's a clip of their performance at the end of this episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, feel free to let me know what you think, and I'll catch you all on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Last week was all about my 2nd show and my podcast appointments. This week is all about getting online, preparing for the next show, and having plenty of people to talk to for the podcast. There's also a look at the numbers for last week, which are very different considering we have entered a new month. And I actually remember to talk about other people's shows and releases too. Thank you for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Moon Williams is a man with an unbelievable story to tell - you don't earn the title of The Grandfather of Soul for nothing - and on this episode he talks us through the start of that story. There are some incredibly fortunate twists of fate, and some less so, but to hear him tell it is to witness someone who truly found their calling in life and continues to live it as fully as they can. Thank you so much for talking to me Moon, and I look forward to doing it again. And thank you all for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one. Take care. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Shannon Corrigan has recently moved to Camden, her mother Cyndy and younger sister Katie are in town visiting, and everything you hear in this episode was recorded during the last night of their visit, and about 30 minutes after I met them all for the first time. These are three of the loveliest souls anyone could hope to meet, and I'm so grateful that we have this episode as a memento. Thank you Shannon, Cyndy, and Katie, and I hope you all enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Loux is the interviewer on this episode, which is a first for the podcast! He suprised me just after I had finished my set and the night had drawn to a close. During our conversation we are joined by Romeo Crow and Ant Henson, as well as newcomer Alex Miles who was the sound engineer for the show, and Laurianne was also there to bear witness to this Special Edition episode. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this show, and I hope you'll all be there for the next one on Tuesday 20th August. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Kai Justine was the only remaining UK Open Mic host to join me on the podcast, and now the set is complete. Hurrah!But like the other members of Team UKOM, there's a lot more to Kai beyond the open mic nights. From acting to producing to singing, Kai's creativity knows no bounds. She lets us in on what she's been up to recently, how she started, and what's over the horizon for her, and you can follow her journey for yourself at -- https://www.instagram.com/kaijustine --Thank you for your time Kai, thank you all for listening, wish me luck tonight, and I'll catch you on the next one -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Last week was all about my birthday, New York, and remembering to remember to prepare for my show, without actually preparing for my show. This week I've got appointments lined up for podcast chats throughout the week, as well as the small matter of my show tomorrow night. I also recap the stats from the previous week, including the top ten countdown which has some new entries. Thank you for listening, let me know what you think, and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Oliver Anicca is a man on a mission, and on this episode we get a glimpse into his manifesto. I don't think I've ever had a guest with such a palpable aura around them; I mean just listen to the way I talk when I'm with him versus how I talk in the intro and outro. It was definitely an enlightening experience. Thank you Oliver for your time, and you can keep up with what he does next at -- www.instagram.com/oliveranicca -- Thank you all for listening and I'll catch you on the next one. -- Take Care -- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message
