“Stumbled across this podcast after seeing Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets tour in Oakland (brilliant!), Guy and Gary mentioned it from the stage. I probably never would be aware of it if it wasn’t for that. So grateful to have found it!
They’re both very interesting on their own, but where...”Read full review »

“New to this podcast. Saw Mr Howe was the guest & as a lifelong Yes fan had to listen. Great chat. But why did you have to ask about Jon Anderson 😂
Anyway, I’ve now subscribed & am busy catching up with your back catalogue of shows & remarkable guests. Bring it on 😄”

“Enthusiastic conversation with and by industry people.
Amusingly, Guy has spent years backing Dave Gilmour but thinks guitarists can just "sing and play right off the bat". In reality the bass is handed to the vocalist when a band forms to save finding one and also keeping staff costs...”Read full review »

“I found this late and have been loving catching up - still 18 episodes to go.
Great insight as it’s rockers talking to rockers. Have found myself dipping into music again or finding new music like Gary’s “waiting for the band” and Def Leppards Yeah album. Great job Gary & Guy”

“I’m a late comer to the podcast and am playing catch up whilst running. Double David Coverdale, Scott Gorham and Glenn Hughes. Also impressed by the broad spectrum of guests - great to hear that Gary and Guy are like minded in that music IS just that…Music. Please ask Ricky Warwick to be a guest.”

“Gary Kemp is a fantastic interviewer. So is Guy Pratt when he allows the guests to talk. Just a real shame there is so few women. I have counted twelve in a hundred and twenty four episodes. If they aren’t careful they’ll have to call it The Cockenteurs.”

Hosted with humour and knowledge by Gary and Guy, whose rapport and respect for their guests results in a brilliantly laid back yet fascinating series of podcasts.”
