25 (pt1)-“..ohh, about that small gathering in Somerset..”

from The Grumpy Cyclist Talks Music · host The Grumpy Cyclist

John’s a music promoter, a manager, and once ran an independent record label—so yeah, he’s seen it all. We dive into his love for the punk era, including stories of seeing The Clash (multiple times!) and other iconic bands at the height of their powers.He also shares a surprising recent experience seeing The Sex Pistols at the legendary 100 Club, and his passionate thoughts on The Cult-one of his favourite bands-who he believes should have been far bigger than they were.Also, it was lovely to hear his thoughts on the youth of today who have mental, depression issues on how music is a big thing for them…Plus, tales from a small but mighty festival in cider country… 🍎🎸This conversation is just the tip of the iceberg—fascinating, insightful, and honestly, just plain glorious.
