Backstage #27: Lightning Seeds, Catrin Finch, Ye Vagabonds and live yoga
Indie popsters The Lightning Seeds, Welsh harpist Catrin Finch, Irish folk duo Ye Vagabonds and yoga-to-music teacher Grace Johnson are our guests in this latest episode.
Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds describes how it’s easier to write a miserable song than a happy one; Catrin Finch explains why she finds collaborations with non-classical artists so liberating; Brian Mac Gloin of Ye Vagabonds has a theory on the resurgence of stripped-back Irish music; and we unroll our mats to do some stretching with Grace Johnson who is teaching yoga…to live music.
Backstage is a regular podcast where we go behind the scenes for exclusive interviews and insights from leading and emerging artists who’ll be taking to the stage at Sage Gateshead, and discover some of the activities that take place, and the communities that meet there.
