Chas & Dave-  23 September 2018
Following his sad passing, we look back on our 2014 chat with 'Rockney' china, Chas Hodges.

We sat down with Chas to talk his illustrious career.

Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey -   17 September 2018.
Tom Bailey can perhaps best be described as pop music’s prodigal son. Following a successful career with Thompson Twins in the early 1980s, the multi-instrumentalist and producer turned his hand to other things. After more than two decades away however, Tom has returned with new album ‘Science Fiction’. We sat down for a chat about his return to pop and playing Live Aid.

About to release the harder hitting ‘Passenger’, and with dates with The Bad Flowers looming, we sat down with singer Tom Guyer for a chat about all of the above. 
Skid Row -  06 September 2018.
Rising to megastardom on the back of 1989’s self-titled debut, Skid Row crashed and burned just a few years later with the muddled ‘Subhuman Race’. Reforming without firebrand front man Sebastian Bach in the years since, they’re now settled with former Dragonforce singer ZP Theart at the helm. We sat down for an in-depth chat with founder Rachel Bolan.
