Andy Platts from Mamas Gun is Stuart’s guest, talking about the new album. The band are a proper tight-knit five-piece, built on that chemistry you only get from musicians who’ve played together for years, creating something that feels timeless and deeply soulful. Their sixth album DIG! was recorded live to analogue tape, five players in a room, bouncing off each other and capturing those performances as they happened, raw, warm and completely real.
