EPISODE 3 - Joan Collins, Live Music and The Decline of the Christmas Record. (with special guest Jamie Summerfield)

EPISODE 3 – Joan Collins, Live Music and The Decline of the Christmas Record. (with special guest Jamie Summerfield)Hi and welcome to episode 3 of the podcast that hopes to combine coffee, conversation and comedy with interesting topics, A Couple of Drips.Reporter, music journalist, social media guru, now turned singer-songwriter, there isn’t much that today’s guest, Jamie Summerfield, can’t turn his hand to. In this episode, we ruminate on what happened to proper Christmas songs, how Jamie wrote one of his own, how much we miss live music, and during our ‘claim to fame’ section, we find out why Joan Collins thought he was a bit shifty. Jamie has also been kind enough to give us a sneak preview of his new single, Christmas Eve, to be released on 4th December and because it’s nearly Christmas, we have a small but silly mockumentary, into the creative process of making the record.We’d love to hear your comments about things you’d like us to discuss in future episodes, guests you’d like to see and, of course, coffees you’d like us to try.Here are the links to most of the things we mentioned in the episode:Darkwoods Panama (today’s coffee)Has Bean (coffee)Pact (coffee)A Little Bit of Stone (Stone’s community hub)Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas AlbumPhil Spectre’s Christmas AlbumBob Dylan’s Christmas AlbumThe Flaming Lips’ Christmas Album + FilmIndie Midlands (Jamie's music reviews)Bitter Sweet Symphonies (more of Jamie's reviews)The Space Between The Notes (Jamie's music PR site)Christmas Eve by Jamie Summerfield (Jamie’s Christmas Single)Jamie’s TwitterCleanfeed (high quality web audio for broadcasting)If you’d like to get in touch with us, our email is [email protected] you like what you hear, and you can afford it, why not buy us a coffee? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coupleofdripsWe hope you enjoy the show and we’ll be posting the next episode really soon.
