Yellow Brit Road 27 August 2026: Boojums Interview, Getdown Services review, Reading Preview, New Order Get Ready!

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we're rested and back from Toronto Folk Festival, so I have to tell you all about the best music I caught over on Ward's Island last weekend! We also review Getdown Services' new album Massive Champion, look ahead to Reading Festival, one of the biggest moments of the UK music summer, and celebrate New Order's 2001 album Get Ready, which turned 25 on Thursday. We are also joined by Willie Stratton, frontman of Nova Scotian blues and punk trio The Boojums, who I caught up with after their show in Toronto supporting The Bug Club recently.
