In this episode, Karl and Laurence reunite at the Walrus pub for a deep dive into their lifelong love affair with music - from their earliest influences to how they're discovering new sounds in their 50s.

• How our older siblings shaped their musical DNA (hint: one went full goth overnight)
• The Manchester bands that became instant common ground when they first met
• Their journey through the indie-dance crossover era of the early 90s
• Unforgettable gig experiences that still give them goosebumps
• Hilarious disaster stories involving abandoned friends and onstage meltdowns
• A particularly emotional moment involving Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide"
• Laurence's failed attempt at stardom
• Creative ways they're staying connected to new music as they get older
• Why cassette mixtapes still hold a special place in their hearts

Whether you're reminiscing about your own gig-going glory days or curious about the evolution of music formats from vinyl to streaming, this e captures the magic of what live music and great bands can mean across the decades.

We hope you enjoy it.
