  • Absolutely brilliant!

    I’ve loved their music for years, my daughters first concert was Blaggards, it doesn’t hurt that Patrick is easy on the eyes. At a recent concert he mentioned they do a podcast, I had no idea! Now I’m playing catch up and loving every minute! Ta boys!!

  • You don't need a restraining order!

    Always packed with great inside information, history, references to other bands, pubs and podcasts. But the most fun for me is picking out Patrick's off the cuff analogies and comments. Always entertaining, just like their live shows. I guarantee you will never see the same Blaggards show twice. You may think you know the lyrics, but you don't. LEMMMMONNNN CAKE!!!

Episode 379: Captain Sidebar
Q: What's one song James helped compose or influence that he'd bring back to the stage?
Color Magic was highlighted as a strong, potentially hit-worthy song that Andy Zubik wrote with significant contributions from James, suggesting it could be a strong candidate to revisit and reimagine with the group.
Episode 379: Captain Sidebar
Q: Which Moses Guest song best represents the band's dynamics and why?
How Does It Feel best exemplifies the group's dynamics because of its contrasts between groovy sections and jazz-influenced breakdowns, allowing the band to showcase versatility while keeping the core energy intact.
Episode 379: Captain Sidebar
Q: What was the setup when you first joined the band for a three-piece show and how did it feel?
It was an unrehearsed, one-off situation where we just threw things at the audience, which felt liberating and exciting, and it showed how quickly a new member can gel with established players when there's strong chemistry.
