In this episode I chat with the wonderful Johnny Turnbull. Johnny plays a few tunes and a few instruments as well, great fun!  

Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England on 27th August 1950

Motto: I am always in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.

In Johnny’s own words

Some of the bands I have enjoyed working with are: Skip Bifferty, The Chosen Few, Loving Awareness, Glencoe, Nick Lowe, Dave Stewart and the Spiritual Cowboys, Eurythmics, Talk Talk, London Beat, Paul Young, Bob Geldof, World Party, Kaos Band, but most of all 'The Blockheads'.

On this week's pod, Leo and Steve are joined by Sam and Nick from The Bad Day Blues Band, a blues outfit who have played at some of the most iconic venues in the country. We get talking about the bands origins, life on the road, the hardships of up and coming musicians and the music scene as a whole. We also have a laugh discussing who they would pick as their fantasy dinner guests, their favourite musicians and a shared love for Donovan.
