Wojtek was the bassist and primary songwriter in Symposium, who for my money, were the best live band of the whole Britrock era in the late 90s. From playing Reading Festival 3 years running, to supporting Metallica, magazine covers across all of the rock and indie press, to performing on TFI Friday and Top Of The Pops, they did it all, backed up with an arsenal of total bangers like 'Farewell To Twilight', 'The Answer To Why I Hate You' and 'Disappear'. Being in my late teens, It was the perfect soundtrack to late nights and loud times. Woj has travelled the world playing music post Symposium too in Bjorn Again and also released his 2nd solo album in 2016.

    Welcome one and all, to the Track One Side One Podcast. This weeks guest is a proper legend of the airwaves; the Fluff Freeman of the Fens, the all-time classic of classic rock djs, I'm talking about THE Neil Jones off of the wireless. TNJ has been on the FM dial for close to 25 years now and predictably, he brings the RAWK when it came to discussing and disectting his 5 choices on the virtual playlist. It's a great natter, where we chat about festivals, why the charts are having a detrimental effect on the concept of 'the band', how rock will NEVER die and through to the best Axl-DC story you're likely to ever hear..... So no libel please!!!! Here is a link to Neil's choices, in a handy bitesize spotify playlist. Please enjoy the episode, like, share and subscribe!!!
