Jayne Casey
Our guest in Episode 27 is the musician, artistic director and all-round Liverpool legend, Jayne Casey.
She formed the short-lived but influential 70's band Big In Japan which boasted Ian Brodie, Holly Johnson, Bill Drummond and Budgie in its ranks.
Then she founded Pink Military and Pink Industry before finding herself at the epicentre of the dance music explosion of the 90's as part of the CREAM empire.
Her two-volume autobiography is out in 2025 and if it's anything like this episode of Misadventure in Music with Ian Prowse and Mick Ord it will be a real firecracker.

China Crisis
Kirkby's finest, China Crisis, are the guests in this month's Misadventures in Music podcast with Ian Prowse and Mick Ord.
Eddie Lundon and Gary Daly founded the band in 1979 and notched up a string of hits in the album and singles charts in the 1980's.
They're still going as strong as ever and regularly touring the UK and Europe.
Their candid tales of working with Walter Becker of Steely Dan and supporting and 'socialising' with David Bowie are the stuff of legend.
Their musical influences might raise a few eyebrows (and smiles) as well.
Oh yes, their sense of humour is as sharp as it ever was as you'll discover when you listen to this episode of Misadventures in Music.

Henry Priestman
This month in the Misadventures in Music podcast, Ian Prowse and Mick Ord throw the spotlight on Henry Priestman, a founder member of top 80's band, The Christians, who's triple platinum-selling debut album was one of the must-have records of that era.
Henry wrote or co-wrote ALL the songs on 'The Christians' but there's much,much more to his musical career as you'll discover.
A founder member of 70's cult Liverpool band Yachts, he went on to work with It's Immaterial and in latter years has forged a successful career as a singer-songwriter.
Henry's a natural storyteller with a sharp wit and an unbridled enthusiasm and love of songwriting.
Indeed,he recently discovered 17 unreleased "lost" songs by Yachts on cassettes in his attic which he's cleaned up and digitised and which will be released on album later this year.Sit back, enjoy and be prepared to be entertained

Madeline Bocaro on Yoko Ono
If you were to ask a random selection of people, "What's the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Yoko Ono?" 'She was married to John Lennon' would probably be a common reply.
If you then asked them what they know about her music, you'd either get blank looks or references to her screaming into a microphone like a banshee.
In the new Misadventures in Music podcast Ian Prowse and Mick Ord hear from Yoko biographer Madeline Boccaro who's been following her career as closely as anyone on the planet since the sixties.Her critically-acclaimed book "in your mind - the infinite universe of yoko ono" aims to dispel a number of myths about the 91 year old artist, in particular that "she's just a screamer".
Ian and Mick take a deep dive into Ono's music with Madeline in this Misadventures in Music podcast and emerge inspired and energised by this criminally misunderstood artist and ,yes, musician whose life story before and after John Lennon is simply jaw-dropping (in a good way).
We trust you will be energised too.And maybe surprised.
Enjoy.
