ACPG 006: Roddy Woomble - Idlewild - talks support slots, middle men, and having a creative space

This week Ben hits new levels of excitement as he speaks to Roddy Woomble of Idlewild, the Scottish indie rock band who have released seven full-length studio albums to date.   Also a respected solo artist, we speak to Roddy about the pros and cons of support slots, middle men and the value of having a creative space.   The good cause this week is Amnesty International’s Give a Home, which Idlewild have performed Sofar Sounds gigs for in support of the world’s refugees.   Show notes at www.acpgmusic.com
