'We were so young - at that stage we had no idea how long these songs would last - we were just writing for the next LP' - The Undertones bassist Mickey Bradley spoke to Frank ahead of a special Christmas gig on Saturday, at the Ulster Hall Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the latest episode of Retrosonic Podcast we welcome Mickey Bradley, bassist of The Undertones prior to their "Celebrating 45 Years of Teenage Kicks Tour" (or a 'series of weekends away' according to Mickey). We discuss his excellent book "Teenage Kicks: My Life as an Undertone" (Omnibus Press) and he picks some of his favourite songs and music that had an impact on the early days of The Undertones. Sadly, we recorded the episode the day that Seymour Stein passed away, so Mickey pays tribute to his former Sire Records label boss and picks his favourite Sire Records release. Throughout the show, we discover his influences as a bassist, some of his favourite music related books and authors, how he missed Paul Simonon smashing his bass while touring with The Clash, the influence of Lenny Kaye's "Nuggets" compilation and he picks some pivotal early Undertones tracks. We also cover last year's excellent compilation of the best of the current Paul McLoone fronted line-up "Dig What You Need". As you would expect, Mickey is entertaining company and the episode is soundtracked by loads of Mickey's superb musical choices including Ramones, David Bowie, The Jam, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Dr, Feelgood, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Rolling Stones and 13th Floor Elevators.

On this extra-special episode of Banned Biographies I was very lucky to chat over Zoom with Rick McMurray, the drummer from Ash. Ash's first full-length album, 1977, was release 25 years ago and went straight to number one on the UK album chart. To commemorate that, Ash is playing the album in its entirety on the 5th June 2021 which you can sign up to watch through the band's website https://ash-official.com/. There are various bundles available, from the concert only right up to getting unlimited 30-day access to the show, a behind the scenes documentary, a bonus performance, a limited 1977 frisbee and a limited edition 1977 t-shirt. All tiers are well worth the money. During our chat, Rick was candid about the highs and lows of Ash's career as well as talking about the band's unfinished indie horror film, Slashed, having a meal with Joe Strummer and why they didn't join him on stage to play I Fought The Law, getting Mickey Bradley and Damien O'Neil from The Undertones on the last Ash album and so much more. I'm so honoured and thankful to Rick for giving up part of his morning to talk to me and I hope you get some great insights into the man himself, the life of a professional musician and how that job has changed over the last three decades. He's a totally down to earth guy and I really hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did talking to him.

Curses & superstitions are as much a part of baseball as balls & strikes. Folklore & baseball are intertwined as is the human behavior of seeking reason in chaos. Now, baseball's a melting pot of cultures w/ new ghost stories & beliefs.

As the Rugby World comes to an end, we look at the high-profile injuries in the tournament and whether it’s time for all players wear scrum caps. We have been to the British Standard Institution’s testing facility to see what difference they can make. The Best of Enemies So who will come out on top in the battle of the Antipodeans? We look at what binds and divides these two nations with Australian comedian Marty Wilson and New Zealand funnyman Jarred Christmas. The Big Sleep Why tossing and turning the night before the World Cup final might actually improve the performance of any Australian or All Black insomniac players. Scary Sport On Halloween, we hear some of the remarkable ghost stories that make baseball the scariest sport around. From A-rod to Babe Ruth, “Field of Screams” documents more than 140 separate supernatural baseball stories. We hear from the author Mickey Bradley. Walking Back from the Dead Six time Olympic gold medal swimmer Amy Van Dyken was told 18 months ago she would never walk again after a quad bike accident left her paralysed just below the waist. She was even told to say goodbye to her loved ones. Amy, though, used her fighting spirit to pull through and make remarkable progress in her rehabilitation. She even intends to walk again. Brannigan’s New Law Curbing the desire to run as fast as you can from the gun is something every athlete has to control. Michael Brannigan’s autism makes that an extremely difficult challenge. It has not stopped him from winning gold in the 1500m at the IPC World championships this week. Now former 1500m Olympic champion Joaquin Cruz is tipping him for Paralympic and Olympic glory. Sporting Witness… After a series of painful defeats to France, New Zealand finally came good in the Rugby World Cup of 2011, defeating the French by a single point in front of an unbearably tense home Auckland crowd. Former lock Ali Williams tells us about how the All Blacks stopped choking in the big match. Photo: A generic scrum cap is left on the pitch during a match (CREDIT: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images)
