We have a catch up about our weekend’s gigs where Ben had an unusual stage invader and George was surprised at what song got the crowd going. But before we set off for our gigs Ben went to the Graham Russell Drums Birthday Bash to get his new snare skinned and tuned by another Ben from Evans and George popped round to the new house to grab a choc ice from the outside fridge. We also learn what EMAD and GMAD stand for. Enjoy!

We were up bright and early for this week’s episode (well, early for Ben). George had a busy week gigging; his cajón took centre stage at a corporate event, he nearly got in a fight loading out of a pub and his dream trip to Beaconsfield and Oxford didn’t go to plan. Meanwhile Ben went up to London to look at Batman stuff, witnessed a man mistake a suit carrier for a hi hat and had another bad hogroast. Enjoy!

Two guys have finally managed to put their drama all behind them and reunite for the people... and Oasis are back together! We chat about their recent reunion announcement and ponder over who the drummer will be. We both had a busy bank holiday weekend of gigging with George playing in a cold cowshed and Ben playing in Horsham town centre. George also went for a few beers in London with a recent guest and someone paid some idiot tax after losing their keys. Enjoy!

This week we had a lovely chat with Lainey Loops who is the drummer for SNAYX. Lainey gives us all the ups and downs of being in a band from touring with Royal Blood and Billy Talent, playing Download to being stuck on the Autobahn for 7 hours and balancing life on the road with work. Also a fellow non-burper along with George and previous guest James Gillingham, who is also her partner, we discuss splitting her time between Sheffield and Brighton, recent endorsements with Natal and Zildjian and overpaying for a packet of Monster Munch. Enjoy!
