London based Scottish Singer/Songwriter Samantha Whates is a true champion of truth, discovery and delivery on her gem cut recordings that capture her angelically pure voice as it delivers revelation based songs atop a multi-textured finger picked guitar, all dressed up with realtime accompaniments set in the oddest of locations. We sat down to discuss what it was that took Samantha on a journey of songwriting in the first place, and how this led to her recording at 3 am in a London tube station. Intrigued? Well, you should be. When someone is bold enough to pursue such an idea the results will speak for themselves. Her latest album 'Waiting Rooms' is a treasure. https://wonderfulsound.bandcamp.com/album/waiting-rooms Thanks for Tapping the Flow.
An episode of real mixed emotions for me, this one. As I explain in the introduction, I was suffering with my mental health at the time of interview and had had a panic attack that I was trying to mask throughout the time of the interview and concert. However, I am also sitting on stage with a genuine hero of mine, having the opportunity to talk about his music, the music industry in general with the odd ghost story thrown in for good measure. For all its shortcomings, I really hope you enjoy the episode. All music featured this week is from the ‘Monks Road Social, Down The Willows’ album that was released earlier this year. All 3 tracks played feature Matt on guitar and he is also the composer of ‘Head Down To Love’ & ‘Hello Though’. The final track featured this week is from the truly amazing Samantha Whates, whom I have featured on previous episodes. I am hoping to have a chat with Samantha in the near future about her upcoming album, ‘Waiting Rooms’. Don’t forget, tickets for Mother Earth are available at https://www.seetickets.com/event/mother-earth/100-club/1330640 The video of Matt playing Overshadowed can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCl25zL6Vn8 A big thank you to everyone who was involved in the concert including Steph, James, Dud, Stu, Dik & Fi, Daisy, Simon, Alys (and Mum) and the many people I have insulted by not including them on this list. And thank you, Matt. It was a beautiful night and as always you filled the room with some very special music.
