“Have loved this show from Day One as am a huge fan of 2000 Trees and was intrigued to know more about how it all works. The boys have really found their flow, the nuggets of insight are amazing and they don’t generally hold back. The Q and As have been fantastic. Amazing (sorry James)”

“Loved this podcast, totally different from the other music podcasts because it gets behind the scenes of what happens before fans get the bands, the shows, the festivals.
Host really knows what he’s talking about and seems as amused and surprised by his guests answers as I was. Great fun.”
