Have you ever wondered what Jarvis Cocker has on his tour rider? Or what aftershave Liam Gallagher wears? Or how the boys from Supergrass grew such impressive sideburns at such a young age? Stuff like this is all that comedians George Lewis and Paul McCaffrey ever think about. And this podcast will let them find out the answers to these and hundreds more of their dumb questions about the greatest time in music history. In each episode, George (winner of Celebrity Mastermind, answering questions on Oasis) and Paul (knows twice as much about Britpop as George) will be joined by a guest who will chat about their experience of the Britpop movement. They will uncover stories you’ve never heard before, discuss niche trivia and revel in the nostalgia of a time when we all thought Tony Blair, the England football team and minidiscs all had great futures ahead of them.

EP6 - Rick McNamara of Embrace
BritPopCast
11/19/20 • 43 min
Rick McNamara and his brother Danny began Embrace at the bottom of their garden in a shed before going on to release 7 studio albums to date. Their albums Out of Nothing and This Day have been given the reissue treatment so it seemed like an ideal time for George and Paul to revisit 90s tales of label bidders wars after sending out the band’s demo, scoring numbers ones, some slight agro with Oasis and how a stag-do led to a KFC advert.
03/08/21 • 49 min
Mark Sutherland is a renowned journalist who was at the eye of the storm as Britpop hit the World. Hear him tell Paul and George about the importance of magazines like the NME, how open the bands and artists were as everyone drank in the same pubs plus which section in the NME was one of the most fun to edit.
EP18 - Gary Stringer of Reef
BritPopCast
02/11/21 • 44 min
Reef were the hairy brothers in the world of Britpop and carved their own niche whilst enjoying massive success with Place Your Hands, Naked, Come Back Brighter and others. A modified Place Your Hands went on to be one of the musical highlights of TFI Friday and it’s these stories and more, including a toilet run in with the legendary James Brown, that Paul and George get into with frontman Gary Stringer.

EP16 - Nigel Clark of Dodgy
BritPopCast
01/28/21 • 44 min
Dodgy captured the complete feel good nature of Britpop with songs and a presence that couldn’t help but make you smile. It wasn’t all plain sailing for the band though.

EP14 - Mat Flint of Death In Vegas
BritPopCast
01/14/21 • 43 min
Death in Vegas were a musical sponge soaking up influences from dub, electronica and psychedelica to fuse into their own style. Mat Flint served as their bass player and serves up memories to George and Paul of odd lunchtime gigs streamed to the Far East, waving unsuspectingly as their tour bus got nicked and turning down Creation Records.
EP5 - Rick Witter of Shed Seven
BritPopCast
11/12/20 • 36 min
George and Paul are taken through Shed Seven's formation and first gig by frontman Rick Witter plus almost breaking the abstinence of a true American rock n' roll legend, the success of Shedcember and accidentally writing a new record.
EP3 - Rowetta of The Happy Mondays
BritPopCast
10/29/20 • 30 min
Rowetta takes Paul and George on a trip as she recalls setting her sights on being in The Happy Mondays, who she had to win a competition to make it on tour whilst in the band, reliving the drama of a Bargain Hunt Scandal and the reveal of how she’s been sampled by a band you would not expect.
EP8 - James Walsh of Starsailor
BritPopCast
12/03/20 • 45 min
In what the NME described as “the new acoustic movement” Starsailor scored a massive Platinum debut album with further success to follow. Frontman James Walsh joined the BritPopCast to talk about the birth of the band, going onto work with the legendary but now disgraced producer Phil Spector, conflict with Oasis and being joined on-stage by Peter Kay.
