7. Windmill Brixton

If These Walls Could Talk

08/12/24 • 36 min

For episode 7 of If These Walls Could Talk, we delve into a venue that has been the birthplace of many a band. A stalwart of the community and has remained authentic and true to itself for the best part of two decades.

To help tell that story we are joined by Tim Perry, a man synonymous with the venue for over 20 years. Ladies & gentleman - welcome to The Windmill.

We cover what bands and music venues can do to support their local communities, the unlikely convergence of country and hip-hop, and how COVID brought a global audience - from Estonia to Kenya - to The Windmill.

For Episode 10, we make the journey to West London; Chelsea to be precise. Where we are delving into the storied history of one of London's finest, busiest and longest running jazz clubs. A venue that has championed and showcased British-based artists to thrive and develop and ploughed its own furrow for nearly 50 years in an ever changing cultural, social, political and economic climate. Ladies and gentleman: it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 606 Club.

And to help tell this story, we are joined by the man who has been at the helm of the 606 for longer then he cares to remember! We are privileged to wax lyrical with the 6's owner, propertier and in-house flute player - Mr Steve Rubie.

To help tell that story, we are joined by the fabulous Mark Davyd - founder and CEO of the Music Venue Trust; a charity which acts to protect, secure and improve UK grassroots music for the benefit of venues, communities and upcoming artists.

Join us as Mark shares his love for crowd surfing, running a club in a toilet, sliding doors moments and much much more...

Join us for Episode 5 of ITWCT - where we're delving into the storied past of a legendary venue that is rooted in London Folklore.

Ladies and gentleman: welcome to The George Tavern.

2. Spiritland

If These Walls Could Talk

02/27/24 • 33 min

Welcome to 'If These Walls Could Talk', a podcast by DLMDD delving into the beating heart of London's legendary live music venues.

Our hope is to showcase and celebrate London's spaces and places and bring to life the narrative, the personalities and the anecdotes that have contributed to a venue's legend from those who have lived and breathed it.

In contrast to our first episode that celebrated over 60 years of Ronnie Scott's, today we delve into a space that although established in 2016 has quickly cemented itself as one of London's most cherished venues and is synonymous with audio quality and was built upon a deep love of music and the culture that surrounds it.

Ladies and gentleman, Welcome to Spiritland!

We were lucky enough to be joined by sound engineer, radio producer and founder of Spiritland Mr Paul Noble to discuss his journey with the venue, building the brand, the challenges and triumphs of the last 8 years, Japan as a source of inspiration, audio quality and much much more!

1. Ronnie Scott's

If These Walls Could Talk

12/04/23 • 63 min

Welcome to 'If These Walls Could Talk', a new podcast by DLMDD delving into the beating heart of London's legendary live music venues.

We will showcase and celebrate London's legendary spaces and places and bring to life the narrative, the personalities and the anecdotes that have contributed to a venue's legend from those who have lived and breathed it.

In our first episode, we take you on a journey through the hallowed ground of Ronnie Scott's, a venue steeped in prestige, history and legend. Joined by Ronnie's stalwarts Miles Ashton, James Pearson, and the incomparable Paul Pace, who collectively have worked at Ronnie's longer than they probably care to remember!

From the vibrancy of post war Soho to encounters with the Krays, an impromptu Stevie Wonder performance, and a visit from Prince, our conversation tries to join the dots and peel back the first layer of Ronnie Scott's mystique.

We have some exciting venues lined up to feature in the next few episodes - so keep your eyes and ears peeled!
