The King of UFOs is a new entertaining thought-provoking documentary which explores the British royal family’s interest in UFOS and the unexplained - appealing to both UFO believers and fans of The Crown!It is now streaming on Amazon Prime (free for Prime members):https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0DH74P3JH/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rThe film looks at the interest that the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip had in UFOs and crop circles. It delves into an episode where Prince Phillip was due to meet an alleged alien called Janus at a flat in Chelsea. This Janus had already met with Phillip's top aide Sir Peter Horsley, and he wanted to pass on information about saving the planet to Phillip. The meeting never took place, and it is most likely that this Janus character was actually a Russian Spy. The film also interviews Richard Felix a historian known for starring in TV's Most Haunted. He talks about the Vatican having UFO secrets hidden in its archives. Felix states: "The Queen has alleged to have requested documents from the Vatican Secret Archives. The headquarters of the Catholic church has a well-known secret archive where documents go back thousands of years, possibly detailing the origins of Christianity and such like. But also, there are allegations that they're holding the truth about the UFO phenomena - 53 miles of corridors full of secret documents and items including skulls of extraterrestrials down in the cellars amongst other things. Although they believe the world to be 6,400 years old, they are into aliens. They've got an observatory in Arizona. They have an observatory at the Pope's Summer palace in Rome.The film has exclusive access to unreleased archives and interviews with witnesses and explores the extraordinary claims that the then Prince Charles piloted an experimental UFO craft in Canada in 1975.A Canadian diver who was working on a secret military project at Sandy Point states that the craft was powered by an electromagnetic force and Charles was one of 3 pilots in the craft who were taking it to the NASA base at Langley in the US. He adds that the because of the dangerous magnetic forces involved in the propulsion of the craft, Charles’s skill as a pilot undoubtedly saved lives that day. He also adds that the craft was submersible and may have been the same craft that led to the famous Shag Harbour UFO incident which happened nearby in 1967.This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

It was re-edited and used as a Chatterbox interview and now we share it here for your delight as a podcast.Michael John Prendergast MBE (born 3 March 1941), known professionally by the stage name Mike Pender, is an English musician. He was an original founding member of Merseybeat group the Searchers. He is best known as the lead vocalist on many hit singles by the Searchers, including the song "Needles and Pins" and "What Have They Done to the Rain?".In his early years, Pender worked at a printing company (Charles Birchall & Sons (Liverpool) Ltd.) as a day job in between playing nightly gigs with the Searchers. According to Pender, he is responsible for choosing the band name for the Searchers. "The band was founded by myself and John McNally. In 1957 John and I went to see the film The Searchers starring John Wayne. I was an ardent Western fan and so I dragged John along with me to see it. I take the credit for choosing the name 'the Searchers' and for co-founding the band in its original form". Some years ago, Mike Pender claimed to be a member of two fictitious groups he played in before his years with the Searchers.After the Searchers recorded the singles "Sweets for My Sweet" and "Sugar and Spice", Pender took over lead vocal duties from Tony Jackson.This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast.Today we are joined in the Chatterbox studio by Josh and Jess of The IngridRising UK trio, The Ingrid return with their third single Lullaby - a track that blends dream-pop, shoegaze, and alt-rock textures into something both beautiful and quietly unnerving. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Sundays, Wolf Alice, The Smiths and The Marías, The Ingrid have quickly carved out a sound defined by contrast - where melodic calm meets emotional unease, and softness gives way to something far more complex beneath the surface. Formed at university in Chichester, the trio - Jess Charleslyn, Will Hornsblow and Josh Platt - bring together a unique mix of influences. Charleslyn’s roots as a minimalist singer-songwriter (inspired by early Dodie) have evolved into layered arrangements of vocals, guitar and keys. Hornsblow’s blues-leaning guitar style cuts through the band’s dreamy textures, while Platt approaches drums with a storytelling instinct shaped by classic rock traditions.Their latest single, Lullaby, plays on the very idea its title suggests. Traditionally, a lullaby is meant to comfort - to create a sense of safety. But here, The Ingrid flips that expectation, exploring what happens when that sense of comfort feels performative rather than real. The track dives into themes of emotional illusion and surface-level empathy - the kind of connection that appears deep and sincere yet reveals itself to be something much more fragile. As Charleslyn explains: “It starts with something specific, but it’s not truly autobiographical – it’s more about a type of behaviour people recognise.” Rather than confronting its subject directly, Lullaby exists in a space of quiet awareness - observing the illusion while still engaging with it. The result is a song that feels intimate, ambiguous, and at times uncomfortably familiar. Following previous singles Limerence - a study of obsessive projection - and Mother, which explored memory and perception, Lullaby hints at a deeper thematic thread running through the band’s work. Whether intentional or not, the progression suggests a growing narrative taking shape. With increasing momentum and subtle signs of a debut album in the works, The Ingrid are steadily positioning themselves as one of the most compelling emerging voices in the UK alternative scene.www.theingridband.comElevate your coffee routine with Strong Coffee Company's "Black" instant blend and lattes.

Her music sits at the crossroads of soulful introspection and irresistible melody drawing inspiration from Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks, and contemporary artists like Adele, Sara Bareilles, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton and Ed Sheeran.While developing her sound in Miami, Jacquelyn’s gift for crafting clever, catchy, and emotionally resonant songs caught the attention of Grammy and Billboard Award–winning songwriter and producer Rudy Perez, sparking a long-standing creative collaboration.Most recently, she teamed with two-time Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Marlow Rosado to craft the album Gonna Take You Home Tonight, a collection of soulful songs that showcases refined craft, emotional honesty, and a sophisticated, jazz-tinged pop sensibility. This new chapter continues to emphasize Jacquelyn’s ability to blend timeless influence with modern clarity, delivering music that invites listeners into moments of vulnerability, strength, desire, and reflection.As she forges ahead, Jacquelyn is collaborating with Grammy-winning producers Wayne and Brian Jobson and iconic studio and touring musician Paul Pesco, expanding her sonic palette and live performance impact. These partnerships promise a bold evolution of her sound, while staying true to her roots in intimate storytelling, precision vocal work, and heartfelt connection with audiences.Rooted in enduring influences yet unmistakably contemporary, Jacquelyn’s artistry remains focused on music that is not only beautifully crafted but deeply human.NEW! “In ‘One More Time,’ I express the deep bond I shared with my beloved brother, who bravely faced cancer until 2019. He was not just my sibling but my best friend, a constant source of strength, laughter, and love in my life. This song serves as a heartfelt tribute to his spirit and the cherished memories we created together. Though he is no longer physically present, his influence continues to inspire my music and my journey. I hope this piece resonates with anyone who has experienced the profound loss of a loved one, offering comfort and a reminder that love transcends time.” — JacquelynElevate your coffee routine with Strong Coffee Company's "Black" instant blend and lattes.

Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast.We are joined in the Chatterbox studio by Sola Akingbola of Jamiroquai.Every now and again we come across a rather outstanding artist and I think we have just found a new one...by the name of SOLA AKINGBOLA (his first name is pronounced 'Shola'). If his name is familiar, that might be because he is also the longtime percussionist with Jamiroquai.Part 1 of Sola's new album, entitled 'How Should I', will be released this Friday and the plan is to promote his music via a succession of planned single releases taken from the album, 'Touch My Soul' being the first and current one (listening and download link below). Part 2 of the album will be released in 2025 and as with Part 1, it has been recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.Sola recently received the Best Film & TV Score BMI Award for the second year running, for his work on Bob Hearts Abishola which attracted over 5 million viewers for its most recent season five. In between his work with Jamiroquai, Sola has been writing scores for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre’s production of Othello in 2023.Sola Akingbola Percussionist for Jamiroquai.Back-to-back MBI Award Winner for Best Television Music Score in 2023 & 2024 (US hit TV comedy ‘Bob Hearts Abishola).Co-Composer of The National Theatre’s production of Othello in 2023.Composer and performer in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Hamlet in 2016/2017 featuring a young Paapa Esiedu.Met Diego Maradona in Argentina at an amazing restaurant in Buenos Aires that sold the best chocolate cakes he’d ever tasted!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How Should I, is an album that has three sources or rivers if you like and album speaks and asks questions of the ideas of Family, Identity and Spirit. Each track can be heard and visualised as a vista, inner and outer. Once we have entered that inner space and pushed through the realms of darkness and difficulty, coming back into the connected outer world, for most of us, we cannot be in or see the world in the same way, hence the title ‘How Should I’. These ideas are universal, all cultures have their modes of expressing this tension and awareness and the many interpretations as to how to express it.We recorded most of this album live. I felt that it was important to capture the way we played together in the various studios we recorded in. Each recording space had its own atmosphere, which brought something to the sound and songs.The compositions are a homage to the great songwriters of the past and the way music was played and performed. It is hard to beat that feeling of being in a room with great musicians and getting ready to laydown something that felt special.Elevate your coffee routine with Strong Coffee Company's "Black" instant blend and lattes.

The legendary German rock band release their new single Wish I Was A Sailor, which, following Boy On A Mission, offers another preview of the anniversary album set to be released later this year. With Scottish singer Ian Cussick on vocals, the track gains emotional depth, while classic LAKE elements subtly merge with modern accents. Under the direction of mastermind Detlef Petersen, the band once again showcases their unmistakable blend of powerful lead and harmony vocals and characteristic musical elegance since their reunion – clear proof that LAKE have lost none of their shine over the decades. Fans are given a direct glimpse into the band’s creative process and the unique atmosphere surrounding the creation of their new music. LAKE is one of the few German rock bands with an international history. Founded in the early 1970s between Husum and Hamburg, the band quickly developed a Westcoast rock sound with complex choral arrangements and musical elegance. Their breakthrough came in the mid-1970s: the debut album sold 400,000 copies, entered the Billboard charts and opened the doors for an extensive US tour in 1977. The crowning achievement followed in the same year with the German “Schallplattenpreis” – a knighthood for a German formation with international ambitions.With LAKE (1976), LAKE II (1978) and Paradise Island (1979), the band released the albums that are still considered their core work today. Towards the end of the 1970s, the original lineup parted ways, consisting of Detlef Petersen (Keyboards, Composition, Production, Backing Vocals), Martin Tiefensee (Bass, Backing Vocals), Geoffrey Peacey (Keyboards, Backing Vocals), Alex Conti (Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals), Dieter Ahrendt (Drums, Percussion), and James Hopkins-Harrison (Vocals). After years of individual projects and the death of singer James Hopkins-Harrison in 1991, LAKE’s story initially seemed to have come to an end. Since 2018, Detlef Petersen has once again been working on new material together with Martin Tiefensee, Geoffrey Peacey and Alex Conti, joined by Rob Reynolds and Ian Cussick on vocals. For the new album, the band brought in further prominent support: drummer Kenny Aronoff recorded the drum tracks in Los Angeles. With the current lineup, LAKE shows that they are not relying on nostalgic retrospection but are creating music for the present. In addition to the single, further releases and concerts are planned.This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast.Sue, Nick and Twinkle the Tuxedo Cat are joined in the Chatterbox Studio by Louise Aubrie.Louise Aubrie is a London-born, indie rock artist who splits her time between the UK and the US. Having started her career writing and recording in London, she then went on to hone her sound on the stages of downtown New York, building a transatlantic career defined by sharp songwriting and a punchy, guitar-driven edge. Over the years, she has had the privilege to record at legendary studios including Abbey Road in London and East West Studios in Hollywood, carving out a sound shaped by the energy of the cities she calls home. Her new single Midnight Calls is the first release from her sixth studio album, LFA, and marks the first record she has written and recorded in Los Angeles. Written during her time living on the West Coast and tracked at East West Studios on Sunset Boulevard, the album was produced and mixed by Ken Sluiter.At its heart, LFA is a love letter from London to LA, shaped by the experience of relocating and absorbing the mythology of Hollywood. Driving through the city at all hours, inspired by the Hollywood Hills and the legacy of those who built the industry, the song captures that sense of being on the brink of change. Lines like “I’m on the edge and you’ve got the looks that kill” reflect both the emotional shift of moving home and the heightened drama of Los Angeles itself.The songwriter shares, “It’s always interesting when you have a life in both the UK and US as I find I am awake at all times of the day and night catching up with people, which can trick your brain into new areas of creativity.” Tight and punchy, it sets the tone for a record that draws from personal experience and classic film history alike. Across her career, Aubrie has worked with an impressive roster of musicians including Keith Scott, Solomon Walker, Charlie Paxson and Roger Joseph Manning Jr, and has performed at renowned venues such as The 100 Club in London and The Bowery Electric in New York. Her debut album Fingers Crossed…, produced by Boz Boorer, received critical acclaim in both the UK and US, earning national radio airplay and praise from Billboard. She has since secured airplay across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Kerrang and BBC Radio London, steadily building an international audience. With LFA on the horizon, Midnight Calls signals a confident new chapter, one that bridges London grit with Los Angeles scale.www.louiseaubrie.comElevate your coffee routine with Strong Coffee Company's "Black" instant blend and lattes.

Janice Long began championing the band on BBC Radio 2, regularly playing the highly acclaimed single 21st Century Love Song. By the summer of 2006 the band had enjoyed strong national radio and media support across the board, playing festivals throughout the UK including the much loved and highly respected Guilfest. The highlight came whilst on a second series of gigs in New York when Ian Wills had the great privilege of sharing a radio show with the legendary Les Paul who, live on air, said the lyrics to 21st Century Love Song were among his favorite in recent times. Later this year the sixth Wills & The Willing album Thats Why I Wrote This Song will be released. The first single Newtons Law is out on April 24th 2026. Newtons Law delves into the balance of believing, disbelieving, redemption and sense of no matter how hard you try to live a righteous life you cannot alter destiny. Ian Wills continues to push his songwriting and joining the Willing for album number six are, Simon Hanson (Squeeze) – Drums; Donnie Little (Paulo Nutini, Imelda May) – Guitars; Mo Pleasure (Ray Charles, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Bette Midler) – Bass; Andy May (Marriane Faithful, Albert Hammond) - Piano , Hammond , Organ.This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

Please scroll down for further details and how you can get a very generous listener discountThis special bonus edition was originally a live interview broadcast between Nick and Steve Ellis on the former Swinging Radio England online tribute station during the first lock-down in 2020.The interview has since been re-edited to go out on the syndicated Chatterbox UK radio show and no it has been re-edited once again to make it even more timeless as it becomes a bonus edition of the podcast.Steve Ellis first began singing in a band at the age of 15. The band were called Soul Survivors, initially gate crashing weddings, youth clubs and barmitzva`s in north London on the pretence that they were booked to perform. When the band improved substantially they began to play venues such as The Marquee, The Flamingo, Tiles and Mod clubs in Brighton, Clacton and Soul clubs in Manchester, Stoke etc.After the bands first release on Decca Records, they moved on to CBS and became one of the most successful British pop acts of the late `60s, under their new name "Love Affair", and had a string of hit records.It is no secret and a well known fact in the music industry that Steve was the only member of LOVE AFFAIR to perform on their hit records and he was backed by top session musicians arranged by Keith Mansfield and produced by Mike Smith.On 6 February 1968, one of the UK’s most endearing number ones - Everlasting Love - hit the top of the charts. The group behind it were called Love Affair fronted by singer Steve Ellis who was acknowledged as having one of the best soul-rock voices in the business. With their sharp Mod looks and a host of national TV appearances behind them, Love Affair found themselves enjoying the kind of exposure and adulation that was being afforded to the likes of the Beatles and Rolling Stones.Their version of Everlasting Love remains a stone-cold classic, one which not only reached number one in the UK, but went Top 10 in 7 other countries and has amassed over 10 million sales to date. Its enduring charm has seen it copied by everyone from U2 to the Cast from Casualty, as well as appearing in numerous films and adverts globally. However, the only member of Love Affair to appear on the actual record is Steve Ellis and it’s this fact that provides the backdrop to a 50-year tale of triumph, tragedy and resurrection.This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

Today's episode is brought to you in association with the Strong Coffee Company. Please scroll down to the bottom for your exclusive 20% discount. Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast.In this edition of the Chatterbox Redux Podcast Nick, Sue and Twinkle are joined in the Chatterbox Studio by Irish-American Singer-Songwriter Sean Griffin.Sean Griffin’s People Are Mad is, in a sense, decades in the making. The album arrives after 25 years of The Ruffians becoming a formidable voice in Irish punk rock, a reputation that’s led to them sharing the stage with Irish punk icon Shane McGowan and earned them the distinction of being called the “Y-Generation Pogues” by legendary rock critic Jim DeRogatiis.The project is a deeply felt collection of songs pulled from both Griffin’s present day and his past. Extending the burly, rambunctious sound established under The Ruffians while bringing his multifaceted songwriting to the foreground, Griffin reached out to Grammy-winning producer Kenny Siegal (Langhorne Slim, Chris Whitley) in 2023, and the pair got to work and recorded the entire album within the year while capturing the same in-the-room sound that The Ruffians built their name on.That live feel was brought to a perfect finish courtesy of Grammy-winning engineer Mathew Cullen, as well as respective mixing and mastering jobs by Paul Kolderie and Greg Calbi. The project also features contributions from Lee Falco on drums, Brandon Morrison on bass, Will Bryant on keyboards, Siegal throwing in pedal steel and guitar contributions, fiddle player Eugene Bender, and harpist Michaela Davis. In addition, Wreckless Eric, Jolynda “Kiki” Phillips, Kaia Dedek and Jules Olsen provided backup vocals. Across the record, Griffin brings in a wide variety of his own instruments as well – including a Gibson ES-135 that he bought from former bandmate Charles Butler. “I’ve played hundreds of shows with it,” he says about the guitar that he plays across People Are Mad. “There’s something magical about picking it up with a fresh set of strings. Gibson guitars just speak to a part of my soul, and they’ve been on so many records that formed me as a musician.” Griffin also wields a Remo Bodhran, the traditional Irish drum that he frequently brings out for live performances. “I love its stability and durability,” he says. “When I dig into it, it always gives back what I put in. It’s always a special moment when I bring it out. It makes people ask, 'What is that?'." I'm trying to take people on a journey through different types of experiences.” At the end of the day, People Are Mad is a natural extension of what Griffin’s been known for since The Ruffians took the stage for the very first time more than 25 years ago – as well as a full realization of what drives him as a songwriter and musician. “What stays the same for me is the urgency to want to have songs that I've written see the light of day,” he ruminates while talking about how this album represents the latest phase of his career.People Are Mad Tracklist: 1.

Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast.Today Nick, Sue and Twinkle the Tuxedo cat are joined in the Chatterbox Studio by USA singer Jesse Lynn Madera.American singer-songwriter Jesse Lynn Madera has unveiled her “back-pocket” brilliant new single, ‘Woke Up in LA’. Drawing on the allure of Los Angeles and looking back at her time in New York, the new release is an intimate exploration of loneliness and revival between two loving partners. ‘Woke Up In LA’ speaks to the loneliness of moving to a new city, leaving all your friends and life behind and not having a support system in place. The feeling of being entirely alone, while surrounded by crowds. The isolation can be so palpable that you wish you were anywhere but here. But you wake up in the morning, in the same place, and start all over again. Musician Madera says: “‘Woke Up In LA’ has been a back-pocket song for over 10 years, waiting for its right time. It is a testament to resilience and the persistence of love, even through “the dog days”. Some of the lyrics were teased from Madera’s early days of living in Los Angeles after moving from New York City. “It’s the artist’s job to reflect the truth, to hopefully help the listener feel seen and understood through having the courage to try to understand ourselves.” News of Madera’s latest single came alongside the announcement of her US tour dates.Jesse will also be making her UK debut supporting legendary musician Colin Blunstone 16-date tour, stopping off at renowned venues such as Stoller Hall in Manchester, Howard Assembly Room in Leeds and closing out in London’s famous Union Chapel. The 900 capacity Union Chapel is in Islington, at the heart of North London’s music scene. It has hosted music legends such as Amy Winehouse, Noel Gallagher, Adele, and U2.

Genre-bending, her unique voice is the thread that weaves throughout.BIO: Ella Clayton is a soulful, folk singer-songwriter born and raised in East London.

In this edition, awesome country / honky-tonk singer-songwriter Andi Jane re-joins Sue and Nick in the Chatterbox studio for her second interviewHere she discusses the tracks on her new album "The Ground Is Changing", on her website, Andi says; "This album is a love story, but not the fairytale kind. The cataclysmic kind that shakes you to your core and changes you forever. The kind that ends in songs rather than promises.For the ground is changing, right under our feet. The trees can fall, and the water can take the island right from me. The meadow might burn… But honey, don’t yearn for the way it used to be. "Andi Jane grew up on a homestead at the end of a dirt road in small-town central Illinois, where singing and imagination ruled her world. After moving to Chicago, she formed a dance-rock band and later became a DJ, chasing sound and energy before eventually finding her way back to signwriting. It wasn’t until she moved to Nashville eight years ago that she wrote her first Americana song—and suddenly realized she had come home.Raised on ’90s country and the cassette tapes of Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, those early roots ran deep, as adulthood brought new music that blurred the lines between genres in her writing. She started calling the result the Honky-Tonk Cabaret: a style rooted in storytelling and drama, where bluegrass meets theatre and country brushes up against jazz.Her debut album, The Ground is Changing, leans bluegrass in spirit—banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass at its core—while bending tradition with washboard, drums, and blues-soaked dobro. The philosophical heart of the album lives in its title track, “Teardrop Island,” co-written with Craig Anderson—the other half of the album’s central love story. The song reflects on the idea that the ground beneath us is always changing, and that growth comes not from resisting that movement, but from learning to evolve with it. This sentiment shapes the entire record: heartbreak is not the end point, but a catalyst for self-knowledge, creativity, and redirection.​While the love story anchors the album, The Ground Is Changing widens its lens at key moments. “Thousand Little Lies” tells a cinematic tale of a charismatic conwoman who lures her victims with promises of love, while “Running Out of Time” plays with urgency and modern anxiety through sharp wordplay and restless momentum. Together, these songs reinforce the album’s central truth—change is inevitable, and clarity comes from facing it honestly.Andi Jane’s music lives in the space between nostalgia and reinvention, where tradition is honoured but never mistaken for a boundary. Through vivid song-writing and an unmistakably expressive voice, she draws listeners into a world that is playful, dramatic, and deeply human — where heartbreak, humour, and transformation are all part of the same story.Andi Jane website - andijane.com This edition of the Chatterbox Redux podcast is brought to you in association with Old Glory, who offer over 300,000 items for music, sports, entertainment, and pop culture fans, featuring officially licensed merch from iconic bands and top sports teams.

Joe Hermes joins Chatterbox for the third time to chat about his new European and UK tour, and his new single Boots on Broadway which is released in both Country and Rock versions.Joe Hermes (h•e•r•m•i•s•s), one of the hottest new acts in the Rock Country scene, is a bonafide ‘battle-tested’ entertainer. Dedicated to his pursuit and driven by his commitment to his faith, family, and belief in working for the American Dream, the Illinois native beams with pride he stands behind. The good-hearted, fun-loving former defensive lineman packs a big punch with edgy vocal textures and hard-hitting musical storylines (both intimate and boldly straight-up) that sift between the angel and devil as a stand-out signature. His raucous sound and high-energy stage performances (self-described as “gunpowder country”) originate from his earliest influences (Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Pantera and Bon Jovi). Hermes strings together intense, soulful vocals, with raw, honest lyrics and his “Heart of Illinois” roots sound to rev a captivating listening experience. With the encouragement and lending hand of renowned music producer Buddy Hyatt (TOTO, George Jones, Lee Greenwood, Mickey Gilley, Tracy Lawrence), Joe recorded the EP titled SOULS WITH STONES to make his official introduction in 2020. Unintimidated by the adversity and challenges of both the music industry and the COVID shutdown, Hermes pointed his concentration toward songwriting working alongside Grammy-award-winning songwriter/producer/manager Dale Oliver. In 2023, Joe released his full-length CD, ROCKIN’ A COUNTRY TOWN co-produced with Oliver behind the board. The project spotlights, original tunes penned alongside Oliver, Dan Couch (Kip Moore/Cody Johnson), and Big Vinny Hickerson (of the trio Trailor Choir) including “Stronger Than Whiskey'' and “Used To Be Me” which landed at No. 46 on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart. In 2024, Joe released the singles “Baptized By The South” (March 2024) and “Walk Away Whiskey” (June 2024) and rolled out his Double-shot Waterfall Series (spotlighting "Hey Son," "Outlaw's Gospel," "Devil's In The Details," "Black Label Country," "American Muscle" and "Outgun The Outlaw"). Reinforcing his conviction, dedication, and talents, Hermes garnered early welcome and support from country radio, country music fans, and his peers. In three short years, he’s shared the stage with some of the biggest names in country music entertainment [including David Nail, Ward Davis, Craig Campbell, Kolby Cooper, Myron Elkins, and Kinsey Rose (The Voice) among others]. Establishing a foothold in the Rock ‘n Roll arena, Hermes has opened for Uncle Kracker, Black Stone Cherry, Head East, Hinder, Jackyl and Lita Ford. “I’m trying to write songs to catalogue my life and my experiences, and to inspire my future. I’m not afraid to look back at addiction, and the evils of this world, to turn around and share an inspirational spin from my perspective. God willing, I can look back to remember where I was, how I got there, and how I got through it–because of my music.” Joe Hermes

In this edition of the Chatterbox redux Podcast we are joined by the amazing British singer-songwriter Jessica Sweetman, who chats about her powerful new single ‘Rise Up’ - alongside a cinematic music video starring Irish actor Emmett Scanlan, known for his roles in Peaky Blinders and Kin.The euphoric folk-pop leaning track speaks to resilience, reinvention and finding strength after adversity - themes that closely echo Sweetman’s own unconventional journey through the music industry.Filmed across the coastal landscapes of Hastings, the ‘Rise Up’ video blends raw emotion with cinematic storytelling, pairing Jessica’s soaring vocals with a striking on-screen narrative alongside Scanlan. The two first connected at the Irish Post Awards in 2025, where Jessica performed the track, and Emmett attended as a presenter. After the show, Scanlan approached Sweetman about creating a music video for the song - a conversation that quickly evolved into a reality.Speaking about the collaboration, Emmett Scanlan said: “Jessica was so insanely collaborative and trusting throughout the whole process of making this video. I really felt invited into her story, her journey. The fact that the song is, in my opinion, a total beauty, was just an added bonus. I hope you love watching this video as much as we loved shooting it”Born near Birmingham and educated in Sutton Coldfield, Sweetman’s path into music began early, but under far from typical circumstances. In her mid-teens, her family relocated to Cornwall during a difficult period, spending their first year living out of a camper van while her father commuted back to Birmingham for work.It was during this turbulent time that Sweetman first began performing publicly, singing at local venues to help support the family. What started as a necessity quickly revealed itself as a calling. Encouraged by her father, who managed her early gigs, she began developing as both a performer and songwriter, teaching herself how to record demos and eventually co-produce her own music.By her late teens, Sweetman had moved to London, determined to pursue music full-time. She immersed herself in the city’s nightlife circuit, often playing multiple gigs a night in cigar bars and jazz venues around Mayfair. She honed the voice and stage presence that would become her signature while navigating the realities of life in small, often rough London flats and the relentless hustle of the gig economy. The experience forged the resilience and independence that now define her as an artist.After years on the London circuit, Jessica relocated to New York seeking a fresh creative start. Her determination soon became the stuff of industry legend when she spent two weeks secretly living and writing songs inside the Nashville offices of BMG, working through the night until label executives discovered her demos. Those recordings ultimately led to her securing a record deal with BMG. Since then, Sweetman has built a reputation as a dynamic vocalist and songwriter with songs ‘Stay Wild’ & ‘Single Bells’, as well as ‘Broken Perfect Love’ with acclaimed tenor Alfie Boe, and collaborating with Paul Oakenfold, plus opening for Van Morrison & Hozier.‘Rise Up’ arrives just ahead of Sweetman’s upcoming UK tour with acclaimed tenor Alfie Boe, beginning April 15th and includes a performance at the Royal Albert Hall. The tour follows their recent duet With a voice that moves effortlessly between vulnerability and defiance, “Rise Up” signals a defining moment for Sweetman - an artist whose story of grit, risk and reinvention mirrors the spirit of the song itself.‘Rise Up’ stands as both a personal anthem and the beginning of an ambitious new era.

In this edition of the Chatterbox Redux Podcast, Sue and Nick are joined by Marty Wilde, who talks about his new single, album and his 2026 UK tour.Marty first shot to fame in July 1958 with his Elvis-esque, ‘Endless Sleep’. His song-writing career began with his first self-penned chart hit 'Bad Boy' which was a Top 5 hit in 1959, since then Marty has penned chart hits for daughter Kim, (all her early original hits were written by Marty and Ricky). Marty was also involved with writing hits for Status Quo 'Ice In The Sun', ‘Jesamine' by the Casuals, Lulu 'I'm A Tiger', Hot Chocolate 'You'll Never Be So Wrong' and additional recordings by such artistes as Tom Jones, Sandie Shaw, Adam Faith, Snow Patrol and many more. Hits such as the No2 ‘Teenager In Love’, No3 ‘Sea of Love’, ‘Donna’ and No4 ‘Endless Sleep’, catapulted Marty Wilde into the UK charts as the teenage heart-throb that took the nation by storm. Since then, Marty Wilde has been a proactive force within our chart industry as a performer, singer, songwriter, and dad to Brit Award winning, Kim Wilde (who in her own right has over 30 chart hits internationally to date, including ‘Kids In America’ & ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’ which went to No1 in America), Let’s Rock This Place is the first single to be taken from Marty Wilde’s brand-new album of the same name and sees him return to his Rock ‘n’ Roll roots! While, Let’s Rock This Place, a brand-new studio album is released on 17th April 2026. Created in collaboration with guitarist and lifelong Wilde fan Darrel Higham – best known for his long-term touring work with Imelda May, sessions for Chrissie Hynde and Jeff Beck, What began as the idea for a small EP quickly grew into a full 12-track album after the initial recordings received an overwhelmingly positive reaction. Backed by Darrel Higham And The Enforcers – widely acclaimed as one of the UK’s finest rockabilly outfits – Wilde delivers a thrilling set that blends classic hits, much-loved B-sides and striking new interpretations, all performed with fire, swagger and unmistakable authenticity. Marty Wilde’s late-career creative resurgence has been remarkable. His 2020 album Running Together saw him achieve the rare feat of appearing in the UK’s Official Charts across eight successive decades, while April 2024’s single Two Eyes Streaming celebrated his 85th birthday by reaching Number One on the Heritage Chart. Let’s Rock This Place builds on that momentum, capturing a veteran artist refusing to stand still – and sounding utterly at home in the music that helped define a generation.Available on CD, 12-inch vinyl LP and all digital formats, Let’s Rock This Place is a bold, joyous statement from a true rock ’n’ roll original.

His story was featured on ITV Today back in February 2026Matthew says - “What I’m facing now is something I think about every day. With over 6 members of my family having passed away and affected from early-onset dementia, including my mum, I’m now at a point where I have to decide whether to get tested for the hereditary gene myself. It’s a constant internal conflict — part of me wants to know, and part of me is terrified of what that answer might mean for my future.Matthew Joseph is an independent pop artist from North Wales known for emotionally direct song-writing, strong visual identity, and high-energy live performance.

Today Ben Waters joins Nick in the Chatterbox studio and discusses what is almost a Rolling Stones album in terms of the people playing on it with him... there is Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman et al on it - It is an incredible story - His press release is below and the podcast is right here.BEN WATERS - BOOGIE 4 STUA TRIBUTE TO IAN STEWART - 15 YEARS ONFifteen years ago, I released Boogie 4 Stu as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Ian Stewart - one of my biggest inspirations and a true pioneer of rock 'n' roll piano. So much has happened since then, but one thing remains unchanged: Stu's influence continues to shape everything I do.Looking back, I had no grand plan when I first started this project. I just wanted to honour the man who had given me so much, both through his music and his spirit. What started as a simple idea in a small studio in Weymouth quickly took on a life of its own. Charlie Watts, ever the gentleman, offered to play on it, and suddenly, I found myself needing a bigger space. Dave Green joined on bass, Rocket 88 legends Willie Garnet and Don Weller jumped in, and before I knew it, we were recording in Jools Holland's studio - free of charge, thanks to Jools' generosity.Then came the incredible twist: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Bill Wyman all added their magic to the album. Then came my cousin PJHarvey! It was an overwhelming experience, a gathering of some of the greatest musicians on the planet, all playing for Stu.I was introduced to Sir Peter Blake through a mutual friend, Pete Smith. Pete knew that Sir Peter Blake had seen one of the Stones' earliest shows and that he loved Stu's playing, so it was meant to be that Peter did the portrait of Stu. Thank you, Peter!Sadly, several people have passed since the initial recording. This album is also dedicated to them, particularly Willie Garnet, who was a larger-than-life character and a brilliant sax player. He was an inspiration to young musicians, and both my son Tom and I were guided by him so much - we miss him terribly.I am so proud that everyone on this album has been a real friend and shown kindness beyond belief. They had my back in the two years of preparation, helping me out and encouraging me every single step of the way. I can't thank them enough. I am very lucky to have such kind, thoughtful friends!It's been 40 years since Ian's passing. To mark this special anniversary, I've added some brand-new recordings to the album - tracks that carry the same raw energy and love for the blues that Ian Stewart embodied.The first is Come Back Baby; an old John Lee Hooker tune we recorded with an all-star lineup: Keith Richards, Dave Kelly, Ian Jennings, Paul Beavis, and me. This track is dedicated to the irreplaceable Charlie Watts, whose absence is felt every single day. Charlie's groove was the heartbeat of every band lucky enough to play with him, and we miss him dearly. This song is for him. Fifteen years on, Boogie 4 Stu still stands as one of the proudest moments of my career. It was about celebrating a man whose influence reached far beyond The Rolling Stones. Ian Stewart shaped rock 'n' roll piano as we know it, and I hope this record keeps his legacy alive for many years to come. So here we are,15 years later, still playing, still remembering, and still feeling the spirit of Stu in every note we play. THANKS STU!Ben Waters
