50 - Motherless Child
Hard Rock - THE RETURN OF THE PROC-CAST! I'm so happy to bring you the first episode of the show in over a year! As some of you may know, I've struggled a lot over the last few years with my mental health. The podcast is something I love doing and as with anything like that, it's a real struggle…

49 - Glen Boden
I took the opportunity to catch up with an old friend for this episode of the show. Glen and I spent a year of college studying together until he transferred up to Leeds and we were pretty much out of contact for the next ten years. Fast forward through that time and Glen's music has progressed a...

48 - George Gadd
George Gadd is a name I'd heard many times from Nottingham musicians that have been on the show as well as from friends who are clued into the Nottingham scene. He'd been recommended to me a few times and I hadn't gotten around to inviting him onto the show. Until I bumped into him randomly one…

47 - John Craigie
I was introduced to John Craigie, known to some as a modern day troubadour, by last episode's guests Rainbow Girls. The group of friends from California has produced both of these excellent acts, as well as Marty O'Reilly and The Old Soul Orchestra. A truly talented bunch! Talking to Craigie you...
-
46 - Rainbow Girls
Nottingham continues to blow me away with the quality of musicians that originate here and come through this city when on tour. The latest ones to do this are Rainbow Girls. All the way from California they bring a blend of great songs and beautiful harmonies that stay in your head long after...

45 - Kate Auburn
Listening to Kate's haunting voice performing 'Don't Blame Me' was the point at which I knew I wanted to get her on to the show. It was at a show in Nottingham that I heard her first, after hearing of her a few times previously. She's a big fan of the Nottingham music scene and had plenty of good...

44 - Christopher Paul Stelling
Folk - Another excellent episode with an awesome musician and throughly nice chap, courtesy of Rob at The Running Horse. A little late notice on this one but it was definitely worth the trip out! I had a great time watching North Carolina resident Christopher Paul Stelling belting out some...

Americana/Singer Songwriter - After interviewing Laura Cortese at the Running Horse way back when, I got chatting to Rob, the landlord and generally nice chap in charge at the venue about coming down to some future shows to talk to the musicians that he had playing. The next one after Laura was...
-
42 - Abi Moore
Singer/Songwriter: I met Abi Moore after she'd been into my workplace to buy a guitar amp. She spoke to a colleague and as we're all interested in music we decided to have a listen to her stuff after she left. I was really impressed by the songwriting on offer so I approached Abi with an offer to...
-
41 - Faitala
Indie-Pop - Electro-Pop isn't something that I'm really familiar with as a rule. However, I'll listen to everything and anything on the quest for new music to put on the show. So when I mentioned that I run a podcast about new music and was searching for talent on a Facebook group run by EV from...

Country/Pop - Sarah Darling is awesome, she plays a brand of music that she likes to describe as 'Dream Country' which takes her country music roots and adds in extra parts to the music like string sections. It's pretty cool and works brilliantly with her smooth voice. The Dream Country album is…

American Roots - Originally from South Carolina and more recently based in Nashville, Tennessee, Kyshona Armstrong is a roots musician who fuses together influences from Blues through Gospel to Soul with a little country for good measure (how could you escape that when Nashville is your base?)....

Rock - There's been a change over the last few years... The electric guitar used to be predominantly the domain of men looking to show off, now there's a new generation of women on the scene looking to push the boundaries of the instrument and the gender expectations associated. One of these…

Acoustic Duo - Well, this was one of the most fun and laid back interviews I've been a part of since starting The Proc-Cast last year. Laura and Mary-Anne, or Mia and The Moon, are lovely girls who had some really interesting stories to tell. Their music combines influences from across the…

-
24 - Vodun
Rock - An interview recorded in the back of a mid-90s Toyota Previa, now that's Rock'n'Roll. (Also an excuse for poor interview sound quality, but that's beside the point.) I went out to see Vodun on the first night of their UK tour with previous Proc-Cast guests Limb at The Washington in…
more -

Doom - I met 'Facebook Sensation' Rob Hooey and his gang of merry men, Sam Cooper, Tom Mowforth and Pat Pask at 'The Washington' in Sheffield. It was a metal night which featured future Proc-Cast guests Vodun as well as limb and was organised by Holy Spider Promotions. I had a great time talking…

Modern Folk - I came across Nieves through social media, and I'm really glad that I did. A chance encounter with a friend's Facebook wall (thanks Ross) led me to the video for 'Legs and Arms' on youtube. I was instantly drawn in by the simple yet effective piano motif at the beginning of the…

-
11 - The Kneads
Punk Rock - The Kneads are a punk rock band from Greensboro, North Carolina in the USA. They play a brand of raucous guitar driven loudness that needs turning up to 11. I'd had them in mind for an episode for a while, and after one false start we were good to go!

10 - The Idolins
Folk/Pop - I came across 'The Idolins' on the internet about 6 weeks ago when I was scouting talent for future episodes. I heard them and instantly thought that their music was great. It took a while to nail down a date for an interview, but it was definitely worthwhile! They are one of the most...

Singer/Songwriter - This week, it's singer-songwriter Holly Smith. Holly's music was described on the Proc-Cast Facebook page this week as 'Gorgeous' after the release of our first live video. I'm inclined to agree with that, she has a very pure and sweet voice which suits her music well. Holly...
