Podcast Addict55 years agoScott Bamford- Bringing back the memories!
Wow! Great stuff mate. I’m just wading through this lot and it’s brilliant.
I was in UK thrashers Hydra Vein during the late 80’s and some of your stories and such I can totally relate to. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work :)
