This week I chat with the awesome British musician, Marc Gallagher about:
- Memorising songs easily - he has over 700 learnt off by heart!
- His numerous collabs
- Perfect Pitch - how he found out he had it, how he puts it to good use, and why it's a blessing and a curse
- How many different instruments he plays
- Attending GNUF as a teenage sound engineer and stealing the show at an open mic set
- Being proud to be an openly bi musician, and how that effects his music
- Minorities in the ukulele world, and trying to eradicate hate speech in music
- Receiving negativity for being open about his sexuality
- Starting the ukulele at 11 to learn the Crazy Frog theme!
- Why he’d rather play Led Zeppelin than George Formby
- Writing and recording his own music - and his nightmare debut performance at a school talent show
And much, much more!
