Ross Connell: Rubber Jaw Touring Gigging Latitude Festival 2019 3D Printer Making University life!

Hey everyone listening so here’s my audio zoom recorded podcast from originally last month in July on the 23.7.2020 it’s now the 7.8.2020 with one of my best friends Ross Connell first time solo chatting to him and obviously if COVID unfortunately hadn’t come about I would of iced to have gone the podcast on person as I find it more special being face to face with the podcast guest I’m with at times to build a better connected conversation but anyway we have to make the most of the internet and this great app zoom. So Ross who I met originally on the Foundation Fine Art Course at Colchester Institute back in 2014 we both were on through our mutual met friend also on the foundation course the wonderful Nicola Rushen who I met first then got introduced to Ross and other friends Nicola had met who became later on one of my best friends and Ross and herself became a couple which was so lovely to see that relationship blossom through becoming close friends originally to being girlfriend and boyfriend whilst still during on the Foundation Course and both of them are amazing I feel very lucky to have in my life! So that’s the story of how I met Ross let’s talk about what he actually does being a fellow creative like me also but in a different creative form to me which is in music! So he is absolute rockstar legend lol as I call him in a band I absolutely love it’s in fact one of my bands some of the songs I’ve grown to absolutely adore called Rubber Jaw who sings and plays the guitar co writes a he music with fellow band member called Michael Hemmings who is friend from school and so they’ve known each other other for long time now. We talk about some of his favourite gigs he had experienced being in Rubber Jaw including a big festival for Rubber Jaw and a personal highlight for Ross he told me was Latitude Festival last year in July 2019 getting to be selected for the BBC Introducing stage. Personally I wished I had seen them play live at latitude maybe another time they will get that opportunity again fingers crossed that would be so exciting as I love to see them play live when I can when they play in Colchester Essex as fan of their music it’s just so wonderful with friends to sing along and dance getting lost in their music in the moment! Annoyingly I forget to ask him what his favourite Rubber Jaw song is so that could be for the next podcast with Michael too but I said what mine was I have more than one really to be honest it’s hard to nail down so I’m going for Spectacle and Feeling Funny two absolute banner tunes by them but then if I had to put one first before the other Spectacle would be first then Feeling Funny! Lol look at me a massive fan alert but it’s true I am and I’m not ashamed to say it! So hopefully in the future at some point I said to Ross afterwards we can do another podcast interview with both of them together talking about both of their experiences together from not just Ross’s perspective this time Michael’s too which would be great. Much appreciated thanks again to Ross for being on my podcast again solo this time though this was one of my favourites as I was with a close friend chatting so it felt like such an easy podcast chat to do and due Covid-19 I hadn’t spoken much to Ross so we had a more in-depth catch up even before I started recording. Of course hopefully I would love to see you in person at some point again obviously within distance with the squad as I miss Ross and our friendship squad! Ross is such a great legendary funny talented genuine guy who is a great friend of mine. I feel very lucky to have him in my life! Ross is always bringing the lols banter making me laugh I love it and love being in your company. Lastly please if you fancy spread the word on this podcast by sharing this podcast around with your friends so they can listen to it also would be great if you enjoy it yourself listening to it would be much appreciated. Thanks so much again classic me I’ve rambled on lol Roseanna.
