The Marquis

The Marquis

Bar snacks at the ready for this week’s episode as we’re joined by Tommy McGuinness, our chum and General Manager of the infamous The Marquis pub in Covent Garden. We get nostalgic for The Limelight in Crewe in its tribute band heyday, discover the secret to a good podcast and talk real barnets (no wigs needed). Tommy tells us a Green Day anecdote for the ages and Nathan remembers that New York City Cops are playing a gig at The Marquis on 31st July. Will reveals he has never tuned a piano.

Deftunes

Sextape! No, not a podcast scandal, this week Medwyn from Deftones tribute act Deftunes joins us.  Medwyn discusses his skateboard skills, how he fell down a rabbit hole into the world of Deftones and plans to start an Eiffel 65 tribute.  We stress the importance of wearing a belt onstage, how dressing in period appropriate clothing can be unsettlingly contemporary and find out if octogenarians prefer Deftones or cake. Will reveals he has been to Dundee.

The Mersey Beatles

So may I introduce to you, the (tribute) act you've known for all these years: this week we’re joined by the Mersey Beatles, specifically Craig who performs as George Harrison. Craig talks about the space in the Beatles tribute universe for niche and unusual acts, adding period specific visuals to Mersey Beatles and being vetoed on lighting incense during gigs. We chat about the benefits of being the quiet Beatle, we find out if tribute Ringo travels with a suitcase of baked beans and if American audiences know what a Mersey is. Will reveals he loves Thomas the Tank Engine.

Crowded Scouse

Hey now, hey now…it’s a Crowded House tribute band from Liverpool, no, not Chocka Gaff, this week we’re joined by Mark from Crowded Scouse.  Mark tells us about the band’s brief foray into matching suits, a strict no wig position, and the endlessly rotating setlist and the wealth of material from Split Endz to Finn Brothers. We talk about the importance of sandwiches, staircases in Rhyl and audience members playing the bones. Plus Mark reveals why Rosie and Jim won’t ever be joining the band onstage again. Quack.  Will reveals he has never played the didgeridoo.

Plug In Maybe

Black holes and revelations galore this week as Alex from the superbly named Plug in Maybe joins us to discuss all things Muse. Nath and Alex get into the weeds discussing guitar building and the endless need to buy more stuff.  We discuss the pros and cons of the band being split between Pembrokeshire and West Yorkshire, crowd assisted vocal support and hours of time spent programming lights. Will reveals he has never been a muse.
