73. Giacomo Smith

Cai, you should definitely listen to this one! (As should everyone else) as this week’s episode features jazz clarinetist, saxophonist and co founder of Kansas Smitty’s, Giacomo Smith. Seb and Verity catch Giacomo pre show in the Worthing Assembly Halls where he and Seb are performing with Rob Brydon for his A Night of Songs and Laughter tour. There is an added sense of jeopardy in this episode as it is recorded in Rob’s dressing room with the fear he may arrive at any second….. Giacomo talks about Plunderphonia - the new album from Kansas Smitty’s - it’s influences and the prospect of performing it live in the coming months. He discusses setting up and running a venue - the julep specialism era and appealing to Easy Jet customers both feature! They chat about Paris, podcasting and the man with the best internet in East London - that’s one heck of a claim. Giacomo also talks getting festive in early summer for a collaboration with Jamie Cullum….just beating the supermarkets to it.
