Episode 69 - Simon Raymonde from Cocteau Twins, Part 2
“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’ve got part two of our talk with Simon Raymonde. He was one-third of the incredible band Cocteau Twins and he’s got a new memoir out now called “In One Ear.” If you’re in the UK, it’s available right now -if you’re in the States, you’ll have to wait a bit for a release here. Today, he talks more about the book, his band project Lost Horizons, and a seriously bad health scare.

Episode 67 - Fergal Lawler from The Cranberries
“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’re venturing back to the 90s with Fergal Lawler from the massive band The Cranberries. They were all over the radio at the time with hits like “Linger” “Zombie” and “Dreams.” They’re probably the second biggest band from Ireland, after U2. After the devasting loss of singer Dolores O’Riordan in 2018, Fergal had to find the confidence to venture into a new way to express himself – moving into composing for film. Fergal also gets into the formation of The Cranberries, how they wrote and released "Zombie," and talks about a recent brush with death.

Episode 66 - Pearl Harbour
“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week's guest might not be someone you’re super familiar with, but she’s got an incredible story and is well worth your time seeking out. It’s Pearl Harbour. In 1980, she had a minor hit with the song “Driving” with her band Pearl Harbour and the Explosions. After the band broke up, she got involved with the Clash’s bassist Paul Simonon and moved to London, becoming quickly enamored with a more rock and roll sound. She recorded the rockabilly album “Don’t Follow Me, I’m Lost Too,” which got lost in the world of record company politics but found a new life this year with the re-issue on Liberation Hall Records. Her story is fascinating and filled with other icons of the era - have a listen and discover a new voice!
