Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - 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 speak to a composer and Saxophonist Steve Hamilton who is a recording and touring member of NGHFB and has also recorded with Radiohead and toured with Blur. He also has played with Amy Winehouse, The Auteurs, Beyonce, Bono, The Beloved, Madness, The Pet Shop Boys, The Wildhearts, Snowboy, Roger Daltrey, Stereo Lab and Stevie Wonder.

He famously missed out on playing with Frank Sinatra but tells us all about that. Sorry Steve.

Superb to chat to Steve Hamilton on today’s episode. He is a genuinely talented individual and very humble about what he has achieved in his life. Excited to hear what he does next especially with Noel and the HFB which should be very soon by all accounts. Thanks to Katy M for connecting us - really appreciate it! You are a superstar.

EP6 - NIGEL CLARK - DODGY - STAYING OUT FOR THE 90s

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - 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 have the pleasure of being IN A ZOOM with Nigel Clark from Dodgy and who is an incredible singer, songwriter and solo artist in his own right (sorry I nicked title from something Nigel is doing as a virtual Q and A).

I had a great time chatting to Nigel and we cover his 90s experience all the way to talking about punk, the 60s bands of Laurel canyon and playing guitar soon with Toyah who lives across the road from him.

But, we kick off getting settled into the interview talking about the times we are living now and why the 1980s and 90s were a simply, possibly better time for so many reasons.

That was really great chatting to Nigel Clark and I really enjoyed that really honest chat about what it was like to be in the good ship Dodgy and also Nigel’s world outside of that. Some brilliant memories there and I can't wait to hear Nigel’s new songs with the possibility of old Dodgy demos and Bluetones demos seeing the light of day. Also if you are in Norwich on Sept 4th for the Common People gigs where Nigel, Chris Helme and Mark Morriss get together to blow us all away - do check that out.

Nigel has new album coming out in Oct called Make Believe Love which he is very excited about and I am sure you are too.

Follow Nigel on Twitter @dodgy_nigel and on Instagram @Nigel_Songs and Nigel Clark on Facebook.

EP8 - MARK BEDFORD - MADNESS & MADSTOCK IN THE 90s

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - 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 speak to a real special guest - Mark Bedford who is a founding member and bass player of Madness

Coming into the 90s was a really interesting time for Madness as they approached the decade differently which had great results. They found a new passion, new energy and new fanbase by pioneering the all day festival which was called Madstock in FInsbury Park. This was one of the first of its kind and we have them to thank them for any day or weekend festival we go to for laying out that blueprint. Madstock 92 saw Madness headline but had huge supporting acts such as Flowered Up, Gallon Drunk, Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Morrissey.

Madness also released a host of live albums and compilations which further embraced them into the bosoms for Indie Kids, 80s kids and all music fans across the world.

OUTRO

Wow - imagine one of the founder members and bass player of Madness taking the time to chat to us. What an honour. A real gent. Thanks to Mark Bedford for sharing his 90s experience. And a huge shout out to Katy M for connecting us also. Massive thanks.

Do follow @madnessnews on twitter to see what they are up and do yourself a favor - grab a drink tonight and get some Madness on - maybe the Madstock Live album - you will feel 100% better for doing that.

Thanks so much for listening to this episode. I hope that it filled you with as much joy, nostalgia and happiness that it did for me.
