Closer With... Simone Marie

In this special episode I talk with Front of house sound engineer supreme Scottie Baldwin. Scottie has worked with so many artists including Stevie Wonder, Lady GaGa, Madonna, Duran Duran, D'Angelo, Scissor Sisters and of course Prince, whom he worked with for 26 years. It was incredibly fascinating and inspiring to talk with him and of course its a must for any Prince fan and anyone interested in the world of live sound.

I chatted with Stuart and Mez from Life band during lockdown and we survived Mez's ice cream shop wifi to chat about what they have been up to, their musical journey so far and what next for the band.

In episode 5 I talk with presenter, activist and London Night Czar Amy Lame. We discuss her love of music and how she got into broadcasting, plus the difficulty uk venues face due to Lockdown.

In episode 3 of 'Closer With...' I catch up with guitarist, musician and DJ Andy Bell. We caught up online in May to talk all things music, how he's adapting to lockdown, what the future holds for live music and his particular dislike of birds feet...it was great to talk with him so I hope you enjoy!

In episode 2 of 'Closer With...' I talk to guitar hero Johnny Marr about his early musical career, his transition to a solo artist, the creative process and how he's been dealing with this period of lockdown.

On the first episode of 'Closer With...' I chat to musician and artist Ghostpoet about his new album, influences and how he's become pretty good in the kitchen at making banana bread during lockdown.
