Ant wanted me to mention three things pivotal to this week's chapter of TCD.
• SET-LIST SPOILERS about half way through the pod we have a discussion about the set-list for the UK tour, we did include a warning in the recording, but for the purpose o... more
’ve played a great many gigs since joining the band in ‘89 and quite a few new ones have been added to our “circuit” along the way.
Something we haven’t really reflected on much, is how the tour venue choices have evolved. So today we fell into a co... more

Please please please please please please please please take out the 3 bell chimes out at the beginning of each podcast. I wear ear pods working round the house and these 3 pings are going to kill my hearing.

Germanya year ago - To quote a Marillion tome ‘Less is more’
I used to be a purple but I got increasingly fed up with the mindless and ill prepared ramblings. This podcast is at its best when H is called upon to answer a real and proper serious question or address a theme in an album. H’s reflective, informative moods are superb, but guys if you have nothing to talk about maybe don’t do a podcast that week. The number of episodes of inane warbling led me to cancel my subscription some time back which is a shame, as I love H.
I do wish Ant would simmer d... more
