After 32 episodes since his appearance in the 2023 Christmas Special, it’s a pleasure to finally get one of the finest gentlemen back on The Fantastival Podcast for his very own guest appearance, for #182 joining us is the one and only James Houston…

James recounts the start of #murderedsongoftheday, the open mic night they are hosting on Saturday 13th September in Carlisle, the charities they are raising money for and the awesome prizes given to them by the music community, his plans for releases in the future with his good mate and previous guest Stevie T (The Telf) and of course James gets the honour and responsibility of collating his very own Fantasy Festival lineup in a Fantastival Podcast that will make you smile throughout…

And after you’ve listened to James on The Fantastival Podcast go deeper and give his Spotify Playlist based on this episode a listen:

The sun is out, Oasis have returned and so does The Fantastival Podcast as we are joined by singer / songwriter, formerly of Gazelle, Mr Ryan Dunn…

Ryan is on fine form as he talks about musical memories with his grandad and parents, getting into bands, the story of Gazelle from 2016 to 2024, his first solo single ‘Ale House Blues’, his recent single ‘Lovin You’, and his plans for forthcoming singles which will lead to his debut album in a very exciting time for this great artist....

And as Ryan is our guest he gets to collate his Fantasy Festival by picking 5 acts, so you’re going to have to listen to find out who makes it.

It’s another milestone as The Fantastival Podcast reaches #180 and there’s not many people who can say they’ve scored in The UEFA Cup (on his debut) and have gone on to support The Horrors and The Sisters Of Mercy (to name a few)…

It can only be the ‘Britpop Footballer’, Mr Paul McGregor.
You’re in for a treat as Paul talks about all things music, being a fan and a performer, his life in football starting with an unbelievable moment at Nottingham Forest. through to Plymouth Argyle, until the point where he retired at Northampton Town, the bands he has been in as we hear about Merc (and I ask him about the Alan McGee story), to Ulterior and The Upper Body (both are still going and Paul shares some great stories about them) and of course Mr McGregor gets to pick only 5 acts to make his Fantasy Festival lineup which is stunning, but has caused his all kinds of deliberation, which you can hear in this awesome episode!
