In episode 5, we talk withAndy McVeigh, A.K.A. The Burley Banksy - a street artist from Leeds, West Yorkshire (UK) about his friendship with Scott Hutchison & his tributes across the city of Leeds.

For those listeners around the world, Leeds is a city synonymous with music; from the notorious Leeds Festival, famous live recordings, to big bands like Kaiser Chiefs, The Cribs (from nearby Wakefield), to Sisters of Mercy and Gang of Four - the city is famed for original and unique talent.

Whilst the real Banksy might rely on anonymity, Andy is happy to discuss his works - as they come with a purpose; to brighten both the areas and the lives of the citizens of Leeds.

Andy got to know Scott before his life as a street artist blossomed, and they bounded over Scott performing an act of kindness for a total stranger - Andy's sister.

Our conversation covers all the usual Scott talking points, as well as offering some great memories from Andy about one of his all-time favourite musicians.
