This week on The Clientele Podcast, Robin Allender talks to singer and guitarist Alasdair MacLean about his lyrics and literary influences. They discuss Alasdair's brilliant collection of lyrics, Exhaust Fumes, Magnolias and Light, and the spoken word Clientele songs ‘Losing Haringey’, ‘The Green Man’ and ‘The Museum of Fog’.
In the episode, Alasdair mentions The Clientele beer, which is called Conjuring Summer In and is brewed by Ocelot Brewing Company:
