Today’s episode is one of those stories, in episode 139 we chat to Philip from Britpop 'Shouldhavebeens' Speedy ! We’re talking to the former frontman who went from indie buzz, Radio 1 singles, and national TV… to being dropped, walking away, and eventually becoming an architect. It’s a story about timing, luck, the music industryand what happens when the dream doesn’t quite land the way you thought it would. You’ll hear about the rise, the near-miss with Britpop, the moment everything changed… and yeah, that night with Noel Gallagher! This weeks sponsors!: https://www.royalwhitby.co.uk/offers/events/ http://www.blagpromotions.uk/ Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation! That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond. We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s. If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
