Steve’s Mix Tapes

My guest mixer this week is Ian Gelling Ian is a long-standing member of the Wedding Present forum, with whom I have stood down the front at many a TWP gig over the years. A native of the Isle of Man, he is also a huge Cardiacs fan, as will soon become apparent when you listen to his selection...

My guest mixer this week is Ethan Miller Ethan has played in Comets on Fire, Feral Ohms, Heron Oblivion and Howlin’ Rain. Last year, he teamed up with Bill Orcutt and Steve Shelley to record the Orcutt Shelley Miller album - my number 2 album of 2025 (the #1 being this). And yes, he's yet another that Steve Shelley put me in touch with - so thanks once again to Steve for providing me another great guest!

My guest mixer this week is Susan Pringle Given that Christmas is a time for family, it seemed fitting that this episode should feature my mum. She turned 80 this year but you'd never know it. She was a little nervous about doing it - especially as we had to do the interview twice, my laptop having mangled the first attempt! But I think she did a fine job, and it was a great trip down memory lane for me...

My guest mixer this week is William Benton William is yet another guest that Steve Shelley was kind enough to put me in touch with. He is the historian and tour guide for the infamous Chelsea Hotel, as well being the singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with Cat Casual & the Final Word.

My guest mixer this week is Cory Plump Like Brian Turner last week, Cory is someone that Steve Shelley was kind enough to put me in touch with. He has played in bands such as When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, Spray Paint and Winged Wheel and also owns the live music bar Tubby’s in Kingston NY. It's becoming clear that Steve clearly has good taste in mixers, as Cory was a great guest and picked an excellent playlist.
