Fantastival Podcast - #116 Matt McManamon (The Dead 60s / The Specials)

It’s time for former Rude Boy turned purveyor of Scally Folk, formerly of The Dead 60s and The Specials, the one & only Matt McManamon to come on The Fantastival Podcast for #116 and boy are we going to have some fun…   It was an absolute pleasure to speak to Matt in one of Steve’s favourite episodes to date as Mr McManamon speaks all about his life in music from his first band, to Pinhole, to The Dead 60s, playing lead guitar (‘I can’t play lead guitar’) for The Specials, through to his latest release, ‘Scally Folk’, with loads of fantastic stories thrown in for good measure, whilst also collating his superb Fantasy Festival (which is genius) lineup by choosing his 5 acts.   This is one sure to make you smile!   After you’ve listened to this go deeper and check out Matt’s Spotify Playlist featuring acts spoken about in this episode:  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/15wiDveKDCQ8YJuWlKU2En?si=7Fz1B2f6S8Sy1jD38h7X6A   And then check out Matt’s Bandcamp page where you can buy his ‘Scally Folk’ album:   https://mattmcmanamon.bandcamp.com/album/scally-folk-extended-edition   And for all links for Matt go and check out his LinkTree page for links to his music, gigs, merch and lots more:   https://linktr.ee/mattmcmanamon   If you’ve enjoyed the Fantastival Podcast please give us a follow on Twitter @FantastivalP, subscribe on whatever platform you are listening to and give us a star rating on iTunes or rate the show and comment on the episode on Spotify and remember to check for our new episodes which are released every Sunday at 9am.   Spread the word... and the word is Fantastival!
