S3E8 with Brian Auger
Today we welcome a musical legend to the show. Keyboardist Brian Auger is a musician steeped in the golden age of rock n roll. They say you can judge a man on the company he keeps and Brian Auger has worked with some of the greatest of all time. The Yardbirds, Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll, Jimi Hendrix, Long John Baldry, Eric Burdon, Alphonse Mouson and a whole host of others. Through his band Brian Augers Oblivion Express he has shared a stage with everyone from Earth Wind and Fire to Led Zepplin and Frank Zappa. After over 50 years performing at the top level we are more than excited to talk to Brian about his Phonographic Memories. We also talk a little bit of politics, Joe Strummers politics in fact. Gregor Gall pops in to talk about his new book 'The Punk politics of Joe Strummer".But we kick off with the glorious news that Eamon has risen from the DJ ashes.Please like, subscribe and tell your friends about us.Deb has written a lovely article about Brian Auger for the Big Issue:https://www.bigissue.com/culture/music/the-legendary-brian-auger-has-a-goldmine-of-tracks-and-rock-anecdotes/3yzPGiLPI7zSzLBV91FQYou can buy Gregor Gall's book here:https://lighthousebookshop.com/events/the-punk-rock-politics-of-joe-strummerThe Black Wax Solution now lives at The Phoenix Bristol, 'We Climb Disco Mountain' is on the last Friday of every month.https://www.facebook.com/BlackwaxsolutionSee ya in about a month.
