Episode 4 - Learning And Practise (feat. Ruth Power)

Optimism and positivity is thrown aside as we recount our worst gig experiences. Every musician has had them (or will have them!), and they can be some of the best stories we have. So let’s share in the pain and misery, and laugh it all away! This week there’s blood, there’s shit, there’s exploding equipment, humiliation, record label talent scouts and car breakdowns. There’s drink spiking and there’s adult diapers. It’s going to get messy.
