Oliver Wakeman Talk about Anam Cara

Oliver Wakeman Talks to Phil Aston - The Now Spinning Magazine Podcast This is the second time I have interviewed Oliver, last time we talked about John Wetton and his time with YES. In this interview we talk about his new Celtic Prog tinged album 'Anam Cara'. We go through each track and it is amazing to hear the stories behind each song and how the album came together. This will certainly be in my top albums of 2024. All the songs and lyrics are composed by Oliver and the band he has pulled together to record this a just stunning. A special mention needs to go to Hayley Griffiths who has such a wonderful voice and here interpretation of Oliver Wakemans lyrics is amazing. The album also features Oliver Day: David Mark Pearce, Troy Donockley, Robert McClung, Mick Allport, Steve Amadeo & Scott Higham. Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

A Question for Listeners of The Now Spinning Magazine Podcast

Hi Everyone, I have been very lucky attracting guests who are at the forefront of creating music. Many of them of my persocnal music heroes and there are a lot more to come. However, I want to ask you a question which relates to how and where this podcast should be heading. 1. The musician interviews will continue 2. A new regular episode call 'Meet The Collector' is due soon where I talks to music fans from around the world about their collections 3. For those of you who have seen my music reviews and special features on YouTube do you think these could also be podcasts? I feel I am potentially missing a trick here is broadening the reach of the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast. 4. The way I release my Podcasts is very haphazard would you prefer to have a specific day / time when my podcasts are released so you know when they are due? Thank you so much for all your support Please favourite or write a review on whatever platform you listen to my podcasts on. This really does help. Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine
