VegetarianGuyExcellent ProgramThis is one of the best programs in the area of "oldies" on the internet. To those of us who are "hippies at heart" this is a dream! Keep 'em coming Sandy!

Claymaker12Before and AfterNary a mention of it other than reference to Dublin tho it’s among his best work. Must be a dispute somewhere in there.

MarkinIllinoisExcellent interview!I listened to Sandy interviewing Noddy Holder. It was a relaxed, informative conversation, thank-you. I was just 12 when I first heard Slade, it was 1972, yes, I'm an old git😂, so it was great to hear Nod reminisce about the old days, and catch up with what he's up to now. I wish him good health and many more happy years, we love you Nod. On a side-note, my younger brother (Malcolm Wyatt) wrote 'Wild, Wild, Wild!' The book that Nod gave a great review of in this episode. I took Malc to his first Slade gig, at Hammersmith Odeon at Christmastime, 1982, what a crazee nite that was😀, he was only 15 at the time. I was 22 and had promised my mum I'd look after him, keep him out of trouble. He had several pints that night, the tube train journey back to Waterloo was interesting 😂🍻😂 Thanks again, Sandy, great interview, I will tune in again!

Deirdre TshienOne to add to your list!This podcast tenderly reconnects listeners with the iconic tunes and musicians of the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Through intimate conversations, it peels back the curtain on the lives and stories of these musical maestros, letting the melodies of the past breathe once more in the hearts of the audience. Great show! Deirdre
