I've been meaning to catch up with Michael for a while, and he was well worth the wait. Our conversation in this episode was recorded outside The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington, where he was about to perform with his band Factory Seconds.

Today's episode, my 18th recorded from an open mic, isn't from one of my own nights. This time I am at Roadtrip and The Workshop on Old Street. They have an open mic every Monday, and on this episode I talk to a few of the performers from last night's show, as well as the person that runs the show. But first The shout outs on this episode are Elizabeth Uviebinené and Yomi Adegoke. They are the authors of the book "Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible" which is due out on Monday 2nd July.

Riding solo again on this one, and giving you a tour of the "studio". It's been a very long time since I recorded some actual music, so on today's episode I break that drought. It's a bit of a detailed tour through my tools and my process but hopefully it makes sense. And who knows, maybe someone who listens to this might learn something, or even better someone might be able to teach me something. Oh, can't forget today's shout outs: Joshua Lloyd and his mission to amass a #JLArmy: -- https://www.twitter.com/realjoshualloyd -- Factory Seconds have released a new single called "The Sleepwalkers", and they are playing The Waiting Room on Wednesday 27th June: -- https://www.twitter.com/factory2ndsband -- Thanks for listening.

This episode would not physically exist without the generosity of Starcrawler, hence the title. I saw them support Foo Fighters at London Stadium as part of their guestlist. It was the most surreal live music experience I've ever had. I mean, Shaun Keaveny was there! I ramble for what is quite possibly my longest intro yet, so skip to 19:00 to get to the conversations. The first of which is with Jo and Cath who are two very enthusiastic fans of Foo Fighters, and then with Shaun Keaveny who hosts the breakfast show on BBC 6 Music. Thank you to Cath ( -- https://www.instagram.com/lady_catherine_turner/ -- ), Jo ( -- https://www.twitter.com/jojotomo -- ), Shaun Keaveny ( -- https://www.twitter.com/shaunwkeaveny -- ), and of course: STARCRAWLER ( -- https://www.starcrawlermusic.com -- ). Also hello to Slaves ( -- https://www.youareallslaves.com -- ) and Free Money ( -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/FreeMoneyLovers/ -- ) who I managed to bump into at the show as well. Thanks for listening. You can find me in the usua

Today's episode was recorded at Harry Quinn's show at The Courtyard. I loved the performance. I'm in love with the venue. I'm in love with the neighbourhood.

Today's episode was brought to you by Ken. He made me aware of the artist Loux, and it was Loux's performance that brought me to today's event. That event is part of Soho Music Monthly; every Thursday in June there is live music happening outdoors just off Carnaby Street. And today you'll hear me talk to some of the artists that performed (Loux and Effie), some of the people involved in the production (Isaac Charles and Scully), and some of the fans of the music (Delaney, Cee, and Jorge). Shout outs on this episode (courtesy of Delaney and Cee): -- https://www.instagram.com/ninaalexisofficial -- More on today's guests: Delaney: -- https://www.instagram.com/delaney1299 -- Scully: -- https://www.twitter.com/isthatscully -- Loux: -- https://www.instagram.com/louxsr -- Effie: -- https://www.instagram.com/effierecords -- PlatformLDN: -- https://www.instagram.com/platformldn -- Thank you to everyone that talked to me for the episode, and everyone that came out to support Loux.

Tuesday night's open mic brought some formidable talent, and today's guests were very much part of that. All of them were performing for this open mic for the first time, two of them are orignally from the USA (Chicago and New York), and I hope it won't be the last time I see them. Today's guests are: Craig Donovan -- https://www.craigdonovansongs.com -- Joey Costello -- https://www.joeycostello.com -- Ryan Barquilla -- https://www.soundcloud.com/ryanbarquilla -- Thank you very much folks!

I am my sister's number one fan. And she is a pretty big fan of Beyoncé. I've been wanting to talk to her for the podcast for the longest time, and getting her review of the Beyoncé and Jay Z show was a perfect opportunity. Many a laugh is shared as we reminisce on our histories with music, both shared and individual, so much so that the beefed up runtime of this episode is more than justified. Thanks Whitney!

A short and sweet episode today. On Sunday 10th June I actually dusted off my guitar and brought it with me to The Plough. So today's episode is me playing at the open mic with my own guitar for the first time in ages. It's a song that I have played numeroues times on this podcast, and the one that I want to be the first that I record and release in an official manner, so here is yet another incarnation of it.

Today's episode was recorded at the Brass Monkey pub near Victoria station. We have started a new open mic there on Thursdays, and there to grace us with their presence on our inaugural night were none other than Beyond The Vinyl. Together Paul and Lawrence take us through what was, is, and hopefully will be of their band. I'm very grateful to them both for their time, and for dedicating part of their second set to me on the night. 'MON THE VINYL!

This was recorded from our (possibly) last night at Anise Bar. The list of performers was short which reminded me of some of the rougher open mic nights I've had to host. So that lead to me asking last night's performers if they can remember their worst experience of playing live music. The people that I spoke to were: CHYENNYE SMITH: -- https://instagram.com/cheylexii -- ISSY: -- https://soundcloud.com/issyismusic -- | -- https://instagram.com/issytunes -- 80: -- https://soundcloud.com/psycowithhighnotes -- | -- https://instagram.com/80thaphilosopha -- DAN JOSEPH FITZGERALD: Watch This Space...

Recorded after The Reliance open mic night, this episode is a bit of a head-spinner. There were a lot of people still around after the music ended, so this is my attempt to speak to as many of them as I can.

This episode was recorded at Shacklewell Arms on Monday 4th June. Magic Wands played, supported by Duke and Violet Fields. But the people I spoke to in this episode weren't in the bands, instead they are the avid fans of the small gigs - be they photographers, videographers, interviewers, or people who are happy to be part of it all. I'll fill in more details later, but for now the people I spoke to were Roger Mairlow, John Clay, and James (who was previously in episode 44). Thanks to everyone for their time, and I trust we'll meet again soon. Thanks for listening.
