Description
YOLOBirder's guest on the podcast this time is North Shields born singer/songwriter Aaron Duff, who works both solo and with his full band under the name Hector Gannet.
Aaron talks about his five favourite birds, the five species that he would protect above all others when the environmental apocalypse arrives. We chat about how he started in music, his connection to the natural world, and the birds he would include in an all-bird band! Birds that mean home, the bird that "writes all his own stuff", the bird with the "slicked-back hairstyle" and the bird that seems "as hard as nails"!
Hector Gannet's new album The Land Belongs To Us arrives on Jan 27th 2023 – On limited edition coloured vinyl, standard vinyl, CD, digital formats. Exclusive bundles available, a gig on an island, take part creating a Hector Gannet video, special celebratory gig on release day. Head to the Bandcamp page for more info.
