Welcome back to Oh! Brother. This week we are delighted to be joined by the brilliant Paul Simpson - Liverpool legend, founder of The Wild Swans and original member of The Teardrop Explodes. From formative nights at Eric’s and early encounters with The Fall, to coming up with one of post-punk’s most poetic band names and introducing Julian Cope to Scott Walker. We chat about post‑punk tribes, unexpected fame in the Philippines, and a memorable meeting with Paul McCartney.

Welcome back to Oh! Brother. This week we are thrilled to welcome friend of the show Daren Garrett through our virtual doors. A whistle-stop tour through some iconic post punk bands, the guys discuss Daren's time with Pram, The Nightingales, The Fall and his current projects, including the coining of the phrase Dubabilly (exact spelling tbc). Perhaps the only man to turn down 2 invitations to join the group, Daren was a member of the Fall from 2013 - 2015, and featured in the now iconic Glastonbury performance and was part of a brilliant 2 drummer line up with Keiron Melling. Big thanks to Daren for joining us this week, hope you enjoy!Follow us below:• Twitter: https://x.com/OhBrotherShow• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ohbrothershow/• YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ohbrotherpodcast7394• Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ohbrothershow.bsky.social
