Episode 289 of Life In The Stocks features highlights from my Live Q&As at this year's Copenhell Festival with Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Zakk Wylde (Pantera) and Halestorm. I had an absolutely incredible time at the festival and definitely intend to go back - whether it's as a performer or a punter. It's one of the best festivals I've ever been to and I'd like to say a huge thank you to Darren, Toke, Jens and the rest of the team for having me along. Follow me on Facebook / Twitter / Instagra...

My guest this week for Episode 286 of Life In The Stocks is comedian Joe Sib. I first met Joe on the Flogging Molly Cruise back in 2019, and we've been talking about getting him on the podcast for ages. Well, it just so happens that Joe puts out his new mini stand-up special today, so it seemed like the perfect time to finally have him on the show. You'll find a link to watch the special on YouTube below. This guy has stories for days and we barely scratched the surface in this 90 minute intervi...

My good friend and fellow Flogging Molly shipmate Nathen Maxwell joins me for Episode 285 of Life In The Stocks. We talk about growing up in California, meeting Flogging Molly and joining the band, the history and friendships that exist there, the gratitude that Nathen has for being in a successful touring band, the Salty Dog Cruise, obviously, and Nathen's other musical project with his wife Shelby, Volores. We also get deep and talk about life and the human experience, as I like to do on the s...

It's always a pleasure welcoming friends onto the podcast, and joining me for Episode 284 of Life In The Stocks is my dear friend of over ten years, the legend that is Chas Palmer-Williams. This is one of the longest and most in-depth interviews I've done in a while, although it's more like like two old friends having a catch up than an interview, as it should be. So buckle, enjoy the ride, and listen to Lightyear if you know what's good for you. Check out the solo record Chas did too, called Am...

I'm honoured to be joined by a proper Brummie legend on the show this week, as Robin Campbell from UB40 joins me for Episode 283 of Life In The Stocks to discuss the storied past, complex present, and exciting future of the band. They've been going 45 years this year and sold over 100 million albums to date. But perhaps their greatest achievement is helping to put reggae music on the worldwide map. Not bad for a group of working class lads from Birmingham. As a Birmingham boy myself, I really en...

Joining me for Episode 282 of Life In The Stocks is Tracii Guns from L.A. Guns. I met Tracii on the Kiss Kruise last year and we've been chatting back and forth on Instagram since then. He's a great guy and I was thrilled to have the chance to sit down and get into a proper deep dive conversation with him for LITS. Be sure to check out the new L.A. Guns album 'Black Diamonds' out April 14. It's as good as anything they've ever done. I've been delving into their back catalogue loads since seeing ...
