EP 9 - CORDUROY FABRIC FOUR SPECIAL with RICHARD SEARLE & SIMON NELSON-SMITH

Ep Corduroy

INTRO

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast with me Mark McC - the podcast where I talk to the people who lived, loved and were in the eye of the storm of the best decade ever - the glorious 90s.

Today I’m totally jazzed as I had the real pleasure of talking to two of my musical heroes that are half of The Fabric Four - Corduroy.

If you don’t know much about Corduroy or the Acid Jazz label and scene then I would check them out as they were a real influence on many of the bands in the 90s including the generators of Britpop - Blur who they also supported with Pulp and Supergrass at Ally Pally.

I had a great, fun interview with Richard who plays bass and Simon who is the guitarist in the band. We chat about how the band formed, recording the albums, touring, riding a helicopter and driving an Aston Martin in Japan for a TV as, how the band came to a natural end in the 90s and how they are coming back with a bang very soon with a new album, tour dates and brand new merchandise at www.corduroyshop.bigcartel.com

We kick off talking about what COVID has done to the live music scene and our collective pockets before heading back to the 90s.
