While they have interesting guests and I’d like to listen, the hosts just don’t shut up and do WAY too much blabbering. I had a headache after each listen, so I’ve dropped them from the Pods I listen too
…there would not be constant rude interruptions of each other and worse: of the guests talking. I find this unbearable to listen even though (or even more so since) both would be very interesting people!
What a brilliant episode…I think listened to every episode of Rockonteurs and this has to rank among the very best. I’m not a musician, just a massive music fan, but listening to you guys and Colin share your clear and obvious passion for the technical aspects of your trade, is such a delight to be able to hear…never too Muso guys, always entertaining…keep up the amazing work!!
And as an esteemed guest once said, thank you for doing this podcast !
I only recently discovered these podcasts after reading Guy’s book.
I thought I knew a lot about pop/rock music history but there are so many great stories here that I was unaware of. Every episode has a little gem of information that sends me down a rabbit hole. Thanks to Gary and Guy for thinking this and all the great interviews you’ve done. ❤️
Gary and Guy always make me laugh. Their banter makes this podcast so enjoyable, thar I’ll give a podcast a listen even if I’m not a fan of who they’re interviewing

A candid, conversation-driven series that pulls back the curtain on the music industry through veteran artists, producers, and industry insiders. Hosts Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt interview legendary performers, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures to uncover the real stories behind iconic tracks, touring life, and the creative process. Expect deep career anecdotes, gear nerdho shtick, and a mix of affectionate banter with serious histories of how classic rock and pop were made, marketed, and massaged into cultural touchstones. Noteworthy is the focus on long-form storytelling from people who lived through pivotal eras in British music, often with intimate, behind-the-scenes details and industry context that tends to resonate with fellow pr... more
