Splash Stories hosts Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave caught up with Billie and Charlotte from The Subways before they hit the road to celebrate their 20th anniversary UK & European tour - The Subways For Eternity.

The pair of them were on great form and are revved up to rock out on the road following their instore tour promoting the releases of their single I Need to Feel You Closer and their compilation album When I'm With You earlier this month.

We cover their early days getting started in Welwyn Garden City, winning an unsigned bands competition to secure a slot on the Other Stage at Glastonbury, recording with producer Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds, Rock & Roll Queen, their first time in America on The OC, David Letterman, hard core riffs, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Head Automatica, Angels and Airwaves and finishing off nailing the writing of Girls and Boys in soundcheck in Long Beach then working with Butch Vig and Stephen Street. Before Billie's move into the producers chair, mental health, lyric writing and getting a literature degree.

Splash Stories hosts Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave had the pleasure to talk with John Wardle aka Jah Wobble ahead of his tour. Wobble was the original bass player in Public Image Ltd (PiL) and his Invaders of the Heart charted with the inimitable and wonderful Sinead O'Connor with Visions of You .

Wobble acquired his stage name through the drunken, mumbled version of his name by Sid Vicious. Bass player singer songwriter pundit and writer. His autobiography, Memoirs of a Geezer, was published in 2009. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Geezer-Music-Mayhem-Life/dp/1846687209

Wobble is talking East End of London Life, Bluebeat, PiL, Roots, Art, India Upanishads, Buddhism and Raggas..

I had the personal pleasure to work with him on the album Shout At The Devil on 30 Hertz Records & produced by Nick Page a.k.a Count Dubulah (R.I.P) of Transglobal Underground whilst managing the artists producers Temple of Sound.

Not to be missed. So memorable and quintessentially Wobble

Splash Stories caught up with Bowies legendary drummer who was touring with Holy Holy featuring Tony Visconti.

Woody is a straight up yorkshireman with a wicked chuckle and stories galore

How he became a spider from mars -teaming up with Mick Ronson- recording Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory and the Man Who Sold The World and so much more

It was such a pleasure. This is a rollicking rocket of a show ...

Ladies and gentleman listen up to Woody Woodmansey...live from July 1 2025
