S3E4 with Omar
This week we have a giant of UK soul, the honey toned musical master Omar. Best known for his smash hit 'There's nothing like this' Omar has grown into a mainstay of the UK scene working with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Paul Weller and many others over his glittering 35 year career. Omar shares his musical influences, recalls sending Stevie to sleep and how he found inspiration in his family's record collection. We also welcome author and journalist Eamonn Forde to the show. Eamonn has just written a fascinating book 'Leaving the building: The lucrative afterlife of music estates', in which he investigates how the dearly departed artists can continue to rake in the coins long after they have shuffled off this mortal coil. It is a fascinating chat which is guaranteed to raise an eyebrow or two.Before all that though your hosts discuss the best time to play a set and how to handle the pressure of expectation. Eamon also reveals his new hobby.Eamonn's book is available here or from a proper bookshop:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-After-Death-Lucrative-Fascinating/dp/1913172104Name confusion still weighs heavily on our tender brains but we are doing the best we can.There is nothing like this.LIKE - SUBSCRIBE - RT - SHARE - BUILD A STATUE TO US - REMEMBER IT"S DEBS NOW If you really wanted to talk to us you would find a way.
