Emma Brodie from 'The Mental Notes'
My Teenage Band
06/25/21 • 38 min
It's the season 2 finale! And we're going out on a My Teenage Band-first as special guest Emma Brodie guides us through the world of ACAPELLA! Emma is a book editor and author, her debut novel Songs in Ursa Major is set against the backdrop of the American folk/rock scene of the late 60s and early 70s, partly inspired by the relationship between James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. In this conversation Emma talks about how her time in John Hopkins University's comedy acapella group The Mental Notes also inspired bits of the novel, as well as all the drama, touring and obscene viral hits that came along with it. And yes, we briefly talk about Those Films.
Emma's debut novel SONGS IN URSA MAJOR is out now on HarperCollins in the UK and Knopf in the US.

Josie Long from 'Brain Gandhi'
My Teenage Band
04/24/21 • 33 min
This week Nick talks to the wonderful comedian and broadcaster Josie Long! Josie talks about four teenage bands - three of which even involved actually playing music. From abortive attempts at piano, clarinet and trumpet, we hear about how Josie went on to emulate the stars of Bassist Magazine, performing in band with names that ranged from the problematic to the bizarre, playing in bohemian warehouses and attempting to recruit South-East London's best teenage guitarist.

Shaun Keaveny from 'Mosque'
My Teenage Band
04/02/21 • 37 min
Shaun grew up in Leigh, Greater Manchester. He was headhunted for the band Mosque after cancelled holiday plans lead to him getting a guitar and an uncle taught him House of the Rising Sun. They went on to consume a lot of hob nobs and perform across the Greater Manchester area, when the gigs actually went ahead of course. Shaun talks about all of these things plus Mosque's epic prog songs about Canterbury, zoos and American TV shows of the 70s. We also hear some exclusive Mosque cuts - though only a couple due to the band's producer keeping a tight grip on the archives.
Listen to Shaun every weekday on BBC Radio 6Music 1-4pm
