Podcast appearances and mentions of martin lumsden

I talk to the simply incredible DIANE VON FURSTENBERG. Global fashion icon, entrepreneur, and steadfast advocate for female empowerment, we discuss her first art memory, the miracle of her mother's early life, what is was like hanging out with Andy Warhol and that famous kitchen polaroid, what is was like being painted and photographed by Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close and Li Song Song. That's just the start. We then talk about how she created the iconic wrap dress, if she knew early on that she going to be a huge success, what it means to her to be an icon, how she deals with failure, what her family and staff think about her, and DVF also offers invaluable advice on starting a fashion business and much, much, more.Download, it's filled with LIFE ADVICE and is an absolute MASTERPIECE.Thank you to @therealdvf for being a true icon and fantastic guest.Photo copyright owned by DVFProduced by Martin LumsdenMusic by Robin Katz Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Join my conversation with singer, songwriter Nathan Timothy. Recorded a few weeks in to the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK, we discuss his new album "Chasing The Positive" which includes tales of meetings with Nile Rogers and Howard Jones, inspiration from Barry Manilow, and making the tourist's rookie error of photographing Paris with no film in the camera. There are also includes Muppets and Steve Coogan. This is Nathan's 7th album and as you'll hear, the process was part inspired by the death of his sister, Kate who passed away in July 2012. In 2013 Nathan set up 'Project K' in memory of her. Totally funded by the charity, the team delivered the 'Master Peace' songwriting programme in Welsh schools during June and July culminating in a very special concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff where videos featuring the children's original songs were played in HD on a huge screen. Nathan Timothy Foundation - The Songwriting Charity was set up in July 2011. In 2012 the charity was awarded the Official Olympic Inspire Mark by LOCOG for its 'Sports Tracks' songwriting programme. Since its formation the Songwriting Charity team have worked in hundreds of schools - working face to face with over 90,000 children - inspiring and engaging them to learn about music and feel good about themselves through the songwriting process.

What seems like a long, long time ago - before such things as gathering on a weekend afternoon with a bunch of friends to observe two teams take part in competitive sport became an impossible luxury - I met with the fabulous Minnie Birch to discuss her imminently released new album. You're Not Singing Anymore is a collection of football songs. Not the "Ozzie's Dream" type though. These are the songs and chants that reflect one of the lasting oral traditions of our time where hundreds, or often thousands of people will gather together and sing communally. For this album, Minnie sought out those terrace songs that derive directly from traditional folks tunes, and added in a fine selection of contemporary tunes from modern artists Billy Bragg, Steve O'Donaghue plus her own original composition "Cash Out". As the current weekly joining of neighbourhoods to celebrating our care workers has perhaps demonstrated, along with images we saw from Italy and other nations - gatherings of people to share in familiar melodies can create something quite magical. Our discussion brought out many memories of family and friends, along with discussion of the origins of the songs. Minnie is always great company, and I hope you enjoy this episode even as it reminds us that it will be a wonderful moment when we are once again able to join together with our friends and sing... even if it is just for the simple joy of encouraging seagull defecation in the general direction of your rivals.

"There's not even a Costa" This episode finds me in conversation with Mark Holt and Ian Kinsey, collectively known as Metronaut. Their album To The Moon is the culmination of 2 years work focused on celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the historic first moon landing, and was originally released in 4 EP "phases" the broadly tell the story of the journey - leaving, travelling, landing and returning. As always there is the odd diversion in to other subjects along the way but mainly it's fascinating to hear how the tracks came together to form a brilliant tribute to a momentous event that seems unlikely to be repeated, at least not in the immediate future. And also another chance for me to offer my thanks again to the guys for supplying the brilliant theme tune for the show.

"It’s not just a phase mum!" Welcome to another edition of The BIG Sound Machine podcast - this episode featuring a conversation with Ravi Amruth about his 10 years in the making debut album Tracks to Lay Down On, but covering much more stuff in the process. Like what you say? (Did you say?)... Like how his long song titles and use of parenthesis are inspired by Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco influences. The discovery that a chorus is a group of people. That, apart from a couple of bits he played and recorded all the instruments on the album. That it's tempting to move on when you've finished making something but you also want to honour what you've created. And why digital streaming can really throw a spanner in the works when you've spent ages working out crossfades between tracks. All that, and how Ravi really didn't rip off David Bowie. Unmissable I'd say. Find and follow Ravi here: Website Facebook Spotify Find out more about the podcast and and upload tracks for The BIG Sound Machine Radio Show at bigsoundmachine online.

This episode I was joined at The Cream Room by John Vaites, main writer and performer as The Corvideros, to discuss the album "Nothing You Can't Do Without". Recorded at The Cream Room (produced by me), the album has been a long held ambition that began to take proper form during 2018. With bandmates Richard, Ian and Lucia the recording took place over a couple of weeks during spring last year. John tells about his song writing process, lyrics and melodic influences and find out why Bob Dylan and Get Carter lead me to a tell story about the chippy sauce unique to my home town!

For this episode I was joined at The Cream Room by Jack and George - two members and 100% of The Cardinal Kings. The boys started writing together in their mid teens and their journey to date includes multiple live and festival appearances plus singles EPs and videos. The debut album Telefones was released in summer of 2019. As always, expect chat about the album writing and production process plus stories of (fixed?) competitions, the expense of video shoots, and the vexing question of the provenance of Avocados.

Letchworth based musician Ray Cordell released his second album Bailey Bird in November 2019. Taking inspiration from a name on a gravestone encountered while attending a conference, the album isn't biographical and isn't quite a concept album but the story of Bailey weaves it's way through the tracks nonetheless.

It's Ben Drake doing the talking but, as he'll be quick to tell you, it takes more than one person to make a band - let alone a collective! A very keen advocate of the album format and with a very sharp eye focused on world events and the human condition, tracks on the new album Afterglow reflect these themes strongly without being over blown; delivered with passion, grit and the occasional acoustic ballad. Ben wears his influences well, with songs that immediately call to mind the best of 90's British rock while never feeling like a nostalgic throwback.

The BIG Sound Machine podcast is back for 2020 with the first of a new run.  In this episode I continue my conversations with artists who have released albums over the last 12 months - this time with Ali and Jonny from Hitchin Rock band Electric Black.   Formed 4 years ago, it's only since 2018 that the band settled in to it's current line up but with assured live performances across 2019 plenty of fans are taking notice.  The band first caught my attention in Spring last year with the release of debut single Thrill of the Chase and over the next few months I had the pleasure to run in to the guys on a few occasions including a live session at The Cream Room that you can find over at mixcloud here.   The Calm Before - the first album from the band, called a "determined and dynamic debut" in a 7/10 review in Classic Rock Magazine.  Join us with a slice of pizza and a beer as we discuss the tracks that make up the album with no punches pulled by the guys over what they think worked out as they intended and where they still might have done things differently if they had the chance. Electric Black are...

In episode 2 of the new series join Gemma Milburn and Martin Lumsden as they continue a conversation that reaches the parts other podcasts wouldn’t go near – such as is there really such a thing as a coincidence, are we physically affected by vibrations, is Will Smith right to say that 99% of people don’t want it enough and do the best bits in songs happen by accident.Also includes great Disney songs, The Beatles ruining everything, and how Gemma would like to own a Mini but doesn't want to be a Giraffe.Also, an apology to Marianne Williamson for incorrectly attributing her quote to Maya Angelou noting that it is normally incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela.  Here it is in full...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
