Camel Club Presents - Simon Francis

Camel Club Presents - Bill Hann (This Album Podcast)

In todays episode I catch up with Bill Hann (formerly of popular local band The Bessingbys and Misterkite) and these days an extremely accomplished podcast presenter of the much loved and viral tik tok sensation "This Album" Podcast. When i set out on the journey of recording a mini podcast series to help promote the 20 year reunion show my intention was to chat with all the people involved in the night, and Bill as our headline DJ act of the night was the final piece of the puzzle. We discuss his podcast (and hopefully had "a little bit a fun whiiiilst doing it") Bill has also then kindly curated his dream festival line up.

Camel Club Presents - Simon Francis

In todays episode I catch up with fellow Rickmansworth school alumni Simon Francis. During my time promoting and gigging in Watford, Simon was ever present in local bands with his musical talent shining through for all to see. It's therefore no surprise that when you fast forward twenty years he's gone on to tour the world as a session bass player for the likes of Ellie Goulding, The Pierces and Kylie Minogue. He's graced stages as big as Glastonbury's Pyramid, and appeared on Jools Holland and Jimmy Fallon. These days when he's not on stage he's becoming a real force in the world of musical direction for the likes of Mumford & Sons, Years and Years and Becky Hill. This was a fascinating and inspiring conversation!

Camel Club Presents - Paul Terris // LP Cafe

I was delighted to catch up with Paul who with his partner Laila have been a cornerstone in Watford's music community for over 12 years since they opened the LP Cafe in Watford. I was keen to chat all about running that business, but equally i first met Paul during the mid noughties when he was a founder member of 13 piece Wartgore Hellsnicker, who graced the Camel Club stage. He's since gone on to tour with other amazing Watford punk bands - The Social Club and Nervus - so plenty to discuss.

Camel Club Presents - Ross Collins (Stetsons / Langley Road)

In todays episode i've ticked off two great Watford bands by catching up with Ross Collins, bass player of both The Stetsons and Langley Road to discuss the highs and lows of both bands during the noughties.
