S3E7 with Nigel Planer

Boomshanka! This week we are delighted to welcome Nigel Planer to the podcast. Best known as the loveable hippy Neil from the classic British comedy The Young Ones, Nigel scored a number 2 hit single with 'Hole in my shoe' and hit the number one spot with Cliff Richard and the cast of The Young Ones in 1986. Although he may not be a young one anymore he has continued to carve out a glittering career in show business starring in several west end musicals, TV shows and earning himself a reputation as a successful author and songwriter. Nigel tells us all about his journey from being a humble grave digger to the giddy heights of show biz. Also in the show this week we talk to Sean Yeaton from the brilliant US band Parquet Courts about the relentless grind of being in a touring band. Sean is a delight and shares his stories from the road with us in a candid and hilarious interview before Parquet Courts headline shows at Brixton Academy and Green Man Festival. Before all that Deb tries to tempt Eamon away on the high seas with an unusual voyage of musical discovery but he is less than impressed. We hope you enjoy it all as much as we did making it. Please spread the word and tell your friends about What Goes Around.
