Hello and welcome back to Groovecast!
As we reach the end of our first season here on Groovecast, we thought long and hard about the subject we'd like to discuss in our penultimate episode. In the end we decided to talk about the one thing we're all about....Groove! In this episode we talk about our favourite 'groove oriented' albums, ranging from the 1970's to present day and ft. musicians that have inspired and shaped us as musicians.

Hello and welcome once again to Groovecast!
With technology across the world getting more advanced and each work environment trying to move with the times, musicians have not been exempt when it comes to getting to grips with the new tech. That in mind, we thought it was appropriate to talk about some of our experiences with this. From working with click tracks, in ear mixes and silent pits, we offer our opinions on how the new technology can help and sometimes hinder us in our work.

Hello and welcome to a New Year and new episode of Groovecast!
With 2022 just beginning and our diaries starting to get a little more full (Hopefully), we thought it was only right to talk over some of our top moments from the year that has just passed. From our favourite gigs, live shows and online projects, we cover (almost) all of the musical moments that made both mine and Charlie's years one of the most productive yet. As always, we hope you enjoy the episode and have a healthy, happy and safe 2022 filled with much love and many gigs!

Welcome to a very special and merry episode of Groovecast! This is a podcast for Rhythm Section players, although all musicians (and non-musicians) are welcome!
With the festive season very much underway, we thought it only right to dust off the 'ole Christmas jumpers (as can be seen on the Youtube video of this Episode!), get a nice hot cup of cocoa and talk all things Christmassy in our lives. We talk about some of the festive gigs we've both played on, both naughty and nice! And on a larger scale, we cover some our favourite Christmas songs and the reasons why. Whether it be groove or otherwise. Anyway, we hope you enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here's Episode 5 of Groovecast! This is a podcast for Rhythm Section players, although all musicians (and non-musicians) are welcome!
With us starting this podcast, we quickly began to get some requests from friends abroad to touch on the UK music scene and the industry over here. So we thought what better way to do this, than to talk about some of our own experiences and the similarities and differences in the paths that we both have taken to get to where we are today. We speak about some of the youth bands that we have played in, and the lessons we learnt and are still using today. Once again, thank you for listening, and we'll see you next time on Groovecast!

As always, if you have any amazing concerts that you've been to see and you would like to share, please go ahead and either comment below, or message us on any of our social media pages.
