Superfans with Gabrielle Aplin
Hello all, Alfie here, This week for the series finale we are joined by the one and only Gabrielle Aplin. Not only is she an incredible Artist, Songwriter and role model; she is the unsung hero of this podcast, bringing us stories and topics to talk about, reviewing the episodes and writing each week’s blurb…which this week is my responsibility. In my opinion, Gabrielle is a natural broadcaster, She effortlessly hosts this episode and brings in the topic of ’Superfans’. She talks about her experiences as a fan and as an Artist and shares great stories and anecdotes. We all examine different fan behaviours and the music industry's new found obsession with the ‘Superfan’. From Stan culture and fan conspiracies to golden circle tickets and gig etiquette; We also talk about Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift and much much more.Thanks so much to Gabrielle for hosting this and thank you to all of you who support us and listen to the podcast. We really hope you enjoy the series finale. If you’d like to keep listening over the break we will be continuing to produce bonus episodes over on Patreon. Hosted on Acast.

Darren Kiely
This week the lads are in Cork to meet Irish singer-songwriter Darren Kiely. If you’re a young or new artist feeling a bit lost or maybe you’re unsure of where to go next, we are sure Darren will inspire you in this episode. We know he started by uploading covers online and we know he’s fresh off the stage at Electric Picnic and his songs are going viral, but in this episode Darren breaks down the lesser known ‘in-between’. We talk finding a manager, songwriting sessions and achieving your dreams. We loved meeting with Darren face to face and can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode. Hosted on Acast.
