Jody Linscott, percussionist with The Who

Jody Linscott talks about how she inadvertently became a musician, being fired from Dingwalls and joining a band, the inspiration from her parents’ and brother’s record collections, not initially being a fan of The Who, being told, “Pete Townshend is looking for you”, playing with Pete’s Deep End band in the mid-80s, touring with The Who in 1989, the joyful chaos of being part of The Who’s acoustic line-up in 2020, and how Roger Daltrey is singing better than ever. Plus: host Paul Bearman explains how he became a Who fan at the age of two, and how a major health scare in 2020 led to him wanting to make a podcast about them. Episode transcriptMusic by The GarageBecome a Patreon supporterSupport us with a one-off donationFacebookRELATED LINKS:Season 3 of Discography The Fisher ProtocolMustapha Tettey Addy bioKokomo on The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1975Jeff Linscott – ‘Things to See’Pete Townshend’s Deep End – 'Slit Skirts’, 1986Pete Townshend’s Deep End – ‘Rough Boys’, 1986The Who – ‘Join Together’, 1989Roger Daltrey – ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, 2024Roger Daltrey – ‘Boy in the Bubble’, 2024The Who – ‘Break the News’, 2020Teenage Cancer TrustThe Who – ‘Baba O’ Riley’, 2022The Who – ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, 2022 Hosted on Acast.
