The 16 year old me was happy with this one. Jock Begg is a Producer who started making beats by sampling after being inspired by the likes of J Dilla and Tom Misch. He is now moving away from that vision of sampling and those Hip Hop style beats but we both connected on the love we have for that genre of music. Jock was very fortunate to be accepted to one of his heroes Tom Misch "Wildflower" workshop down in London a month or so ago. He was able to work with Tom closely and learn from him and the other participants in this program. Making a dream come true and he talks all about it here. We go through Jocks EP "Wildflower" (named after the workshop) track by track and Jock gives insight to how the beats were made and the stories behind them. He also let me in to the equipment he uses giving demos with his guitar to show how his ideas come about. This is the beginning of version 3.0 of Cannon Conversations publicly. I hope you enjoy it and keep an eye out for what's to come along the way this year on here. Im chasing dreams.

Cammy is the first player I have had the chance to speak with, and being 18 I thought he could share his experiencers for other young people in his situation or similar as through his time so far he has been at the likes of Hearts, Dunfermline, St Johnstone and now Stenhousemuir. We chatted about Cammy's timeline and the different experiences he had at each club, and you will see when you listen to this how much of a positive attitude he has for a kid at 18 dealing with a few setbacks. Cammy has not only had setbacks in his time in football, but recently he was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer the day football got the green light to go back, and he is extremely open talking about this for the last 5 minutes or so. As he says many times when talking about his setbacks, it is what it is and you've just got to be positive and keep moving forward. Spot on for someone who is still very young. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation. Below is the link to the charity he has chosen and currently raised over 7 grand for so far if anyone feels like they would want to donate after listening to this: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/camerongraham

I sat down for a chat yesterday with Hibernian Woman's assistant coach, and owner/partner of 3 vs 2 Soccer Academy Roddy Maughan. We touched on Roddy's journey through playing at the likes of Raith, Arbroath and East Stirling. His coaching so far and his experiences coaching in Spain and Egypt, how the woman's game may be moving forward quicker than the mens game and what Scotland can do to stop chasing other countries ideas on the football front. Huge thanks to Roddy for coming on and having this chat with me and thanks to Sean McAuley for the introduction. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.

It's all calmed down a little now on the Super League front. The idea has collapsed, everyone in football happy they didn't have what they love stolen from them during the midst of a global pandemic. Thank god. After a few days of taking in the news I have found it very interesting how the conversation has quickly shifted to the fact that we need to do something to get football back on track for the better. Every pundit and fan across the country seems to be in agreement with this. The question is will we stop, take a look around and try and change the game and move it forward in the right way? Or will we all forget about it when our owners buy us the next big player for 200 million this summer? Joining me to have the discussion on the idea that football does need to change it's ways and move forward is Chelsea fan and friend of Mathew, Dylan Sibbald, and also life long Man City fan, the legend that is Adam Munro making his debut on the podcast. "I know you are taking it in the teeth, but the first guy through the wall...He always gets bloody...always. This is threatening not just a way of doing business...But in their minds, it's threatening the game" - John Henry, Moneyball. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.

It's an unbelievable race for 3rd and 4th in the Premier League this season. You have Leicester, West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs all playing for two spots! Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs are the ones that would be hurt the most by missing out, and for Liverpool and Spurs if you are looking at form it doesn't look good. Can Davey Moyes and the boys pull off the unthinkable? Will a Brendan Rodgers side blow it again? Has Tuchel improved Chelsea enough to secure top 4? Has Mourinho lost his magic and will Jurgen and the lads be able to pull through with enough belief to secure top 4 in what will be a trophyless season after ending a 30 year wait for the Premier league title? What an end to the season we have coming up folks. Thanks to AJ and Mathew for joining me on this one. You know the deal by now. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation. P.s. The Pubs are almost open!!

Sean is currently East Lothian co-ordinator for the SFA, 1st team coach at Bonnyrigg Rose who play in the Scottish Lowland League and has also had some playing experience when he was younger at clubs such as Dundee United, Hibs and Clyde.

Some would say this is the podcast that wasn't supposed to happen. After a couple of reschedules and then a couple technical errors during the recording we did finally get it done. Mathew, James and Liam joined me to talk all things United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Basically it was all about ripping into United and James in his England top and asking Liam about the Chelsea "flops" but there is also some good football chat in here. I promise. We touch on how Tuchel looks to have really improved Chelsea in a short space of time, is Ole the right man to take United to the next level and really challenge for league titles and eventually win them, and a very brief chat on the signings of Davies and Kabak for the reds and also if Roberto Firmino could be the one to miss out in Liverpool's next phase of evolution. Jason Grant, don't you worry I haven't forgotten about our bet. The mighty Leeds will be finishing above Arsenal. It's going to be one hell of a finish for that 20 quid! Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation. P.s. Lets hope Ole crashes the bus eh Jambo :)

This week I sat down with the legend himself Mr Mark Christie. Mark is a coach out in California who started his coaching journey in Aberdeen coaching the women's team, progressing to work with clubs such as the San Jose Earthquakes on the youth side and also running his own football (soccer) company called Euro Soccer Training. In this chat we talked about Christie's journey into football and coaching starting with seeing the Aberdeen casuals and being hooked on the game since he first stepped foot in Pittodrie. Christie then shares his story as a coach and how he continued to learn and add more tools to his toolbox as he says. We go into detail on how we can educate parents on how to navigate their child's journey through not just football but any sport and there is a lot of great pieces of advice in here for any young players, parents or coaches. Listen and learn. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.

EAST COAST FM INTERVIEW

I was fortunate to reach out and hear back from a local radio station in East Lothian called EAST COAST FM. I had a great chat with Liz on coaching football out in America, how I ended up out there, how the podcast got started and a few other topics during this conversation. Thanks to East Coast FM for giving me the time and helping me on getting myself out there more. It was a great song choice after we went off air with Wonderwall! Hope you enjoy the short conversation and for those of you who don't know me personally but have been listening and watching I hope you get more of an idea on who I am rather than just hearing me talk about football. Cheers, Cannon

For this chat I was joined by Mike Mackie, Mike Spink and Euan who are all part of the Gullane Athletic Football program. This was a special one for me as I am sure like a lot of people, there is no place like home. Gullane means a lot to me and looking back now at growing up it's a one of those special places that you are lucky to be a part of. The community feel to it just brings something special to the place. Having grown up with a lot of family members volunteering in the village to put events on for the youth every year I always had the urge to give something back to kids myself and venturing into coaching for 8 years was the beginning of that. These guys, and especially Mike Mackie, created a Football program for boys and girls to be a part of, building a community club and adding huge value to Gullane. All volunteers and giving their spare time to help out the youth. It's a great conversation on how they fell into Football as kids themselves, moving into the journey to build up the program from scratch and how they continue to grow it and work with the kids. During the conversation there may be a reference made too limited heading drills for the kids, this is only for those aged 12 and above. There are no heading drills for kids aged 12 and under. If you see this and you are someone from Gullane, or even if you listen and enjoy it, it would be great if you could share it and spread what these guys are doing around the area. Song choice for the feel of this podcast: Diamonds in the Mud by Gerry Cinnamon. I've been all round the world, but there's nowhere compares to my home-town. Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.
