LIVE MUSIC & ME - EPISODE 13. JOHN DOUGLAS

Question. What do you do when you have recorded a great guest interview on Zoom but the video is buffering throughout? Answer. Convert the file to audio and put it out without the visuals! So, in yet another first for us, on audio only.....we welcome our guest for this episode, the Scottish singer/songwriter/musician John Douglas. Probably best known as a member of the wonderful Trashcan Sinatras, however John has also recently released his self-titled debut solo album, and a mighty fine record it is too. John had plenty of cracking gigs to talk through. It's understandable that time can challenge the memory at times - therefore what John remembers as his first gig ( Numan Glasgow Apollo), was actually Still Little Fingers ( Glasgow Apollo) earlier in the same summer! John also shared his Reading Festival tent sharing exploits ( he's not a big festival fan), missing an early The Smiths gig even although he had a ticket, and also his big regret choosing not to go see Sinatra gig at Ibrox in 1990. On the plus side, he did manage to meet Willie Nelson in his own hotel room ( no, really) , and get the chance to play a gig at the iconic CBGB's New York. We packed a lot into this one, and even on audio only, I am sure you will agree it was worth the effort! Thanks again John. Top man.
