Did Dubai Anything?
George is back from Dubai! He missed Ben so much a Zoom call wasn’t enough so he darted straight round to Little Piggy Studios. After what can only be described as ‘a long hug’ it seemed a sensible idea to set up some mics and record this week’s episode in person. So turn off Chum, put your Rubik's Cube down, hit play and hear all about George’s gig in Dubai. Enjoy!

I Need To Do A Little Bit Of Everything (Ollie Harding - The Shires)
It was a pleasure to be joined by Ollie Harding this week. With a final tour with The Shires coming up we looked back at his 12 years with the band, how moving to Manchester got him started in the session world and doing anything to avoid playing the cajon. We also discussed dealing with cancelled tours, being financially sensible, the merits of going to university and Ollie gives us the secrets of playing on TV for James Blunt.

Not A Dry Eye In The House
Bad ears and good eyes are first on the agenda this week but which one of us has a swollen ear and which one has the eyes of a fighter pilot? George steals some sticks from Newcastle and Ben has set up his mega kit with the Yamaha Hexrack and reskinned all 6 toms. We also discuss what’s the minimum info required to say yes to a gig. Enjoy!

The Fat Doosh
While Ben’s been pushing back on rumours about his mum’s demise, George has been back on the road up to Scotland via Birmingham and Newcastle and invested in some drum mics. Ben has finally completed his Yamaha Stage Custom mega kit thanks to the guys at Rubix Drums in London (and no thanks to James Gillingham). Enjoy!

If It Does Go Wrong It Goes Really Wrong (Jacob Andrews - Profiler)

All Gut And Tit
Ben’s been busy in the studio playing drums and trombone for a few artists and George managed to complete a double gig day on Saturday playing two festivals despite one house kit not having a drum mat. Tut tut. We also chat a fair bit about exercise as Ben ups his efforts after being in his words ‘fucked’ during a gig a few weeks back. Enjoy!

King Of Midfield
Come on England! We’re both a bit tired after staying up to watch England VS Mexico and an early start for Ben on Monday for his MOT didn’t help matters. We also talk about George’s gigs with the ‘Lainey Lot’ in the Midlands, navigating England VS Norway on Saturday as we both have gigs and Ben’s clients making things even more difficult by not wanting half the band's repertoire.
