“I started the podcast in 2020 just by asking some artists I knew if they’d be interested in being interviewed. Since then I’ve done over 300 episodes and spoken with so many amazing people each week. I never planned initially to have my own show but one thing led to another and I’m still doing it over 6 years later.”

From dreamy vocal layers to distorted guitar riffs that kick in at the perfect moment, Love Affair is quite perfectly crafted, noting a nineties alternative aura that’s mildly reminiscent of the likes of Drinking in LA or Steal My Sunshine.

Promising over 90 live acts across six stages and with 12 hours of music to look forward to, the iconic Zombie Fest returns to Cambridge Junction this Halloween, and it’s a line-up noting legendary names from nineties drum and bass, dance and jungle to hardstyle, trance and breaks from across the past few decades.
A perfectly titled project, this is feel-good rock songwriting akin to the likes of The Verve and The War On Drugs – sometimes deeply evocative, but always emotionally uplifting, engaging; the kind of passion and melody and groove you can both cry to and celebrate.
