“I've just listened to your Michael Nesmith episode....it was absolutely first class! I'm a massive Nesmith fan, I finally saw him live, with Micky Dolenz, in St Louis, a year or two before he passed. That one excellent episode will bring me back to your podcast soon. Thanks”Read full review »

“These interviews are always fascinating even when you don’t think you like the artist or even haven’t heard of them. Simon and Brian always do their homework and always manage to get a great interview as a result. The fact they also play snippets of songs means you get to hear what they are...”Read full review »

“I love the fact that you cover such a wide variety of artists, from the earlier years of rock/pop through more recent emerging songwriters, and from indie eccentrics to “factory” writers. Every episode adds some new writer’s twist that gives your listeners insight and ideas into the songwriting...”Read full review »

“Hi guys, you are really doing a great job here, but there are at least 6 names missing on the list: Ralph McTell, Mark Knopfler, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Peter Gabriel, Richard Thompson and Dougie McLean. And as all these have reached 70+ it is about time, to add them to this podcast … SOON...”Read full review »

“Only started podcasts since lockdown 2020 and for whatever reason presumed it’s was a non uk one and didn’t look into it. Then picked other podcasts and didn’t branch out. But discovered the Mick Head one and now hooked. Funny to me how Rockenteurs are following and largely copying format and...”Read full review »

“You guys are the best at this. I really enjoy every one of your eps, even the ones with the artists I’m not into. Your recent chat with Matty and George from the 1975 was testament to that. You just let them chat and take over and didn’t feel the need to talk over them. Keep up the fantastic...”Read full review »

“Great podcast. The two fellas really do their background and are truly knowledgeable and passionate about the work of their interviewees - the result: the guest picks this up quite quickly, relaxes and really opens up. This in turn generates genuine insights and unguarded conversations. Brilliant.”
