Fantastival Podcast - #166 Charley Stone (Salad, Gay Dad, Desperate Journalist, Sleeper)

Here Comes The Fantastival Podcast… After a week away The Fantastival Podcast returns with a brilliant #166 as we are joined by the very talented and wonderful Charley Stone. Charley is on top form talking about the game changing moment of watching a music video on Top Of The Pops, getting her first guitar and working on barre chords, we do a run through of a selection of bands Charley has played in as Charley talks through them recounting memories with fondness (including Salad, Gay Dad, The Hive Fives, Desperate Journalist, Sleeper and more), tells us about forming The Actual Band and new album ‘Here Comes The Actual Band’, and to top it all off Charley then collates her Fantasy Festival lineup choosing only 5 acts (which is an incredible lineup with some great twists) and a song (the big encore) for them all to play together at the end, so this is an episode definitely not to be missed. And on top of that we have two Spotify Playlists for you to check out.
