This week I sat down with artist Craig Davison. I first discovered his work in a little gallery in a retail village called Swinfen Hall. There were a fair few chintzy gift shops selling stuff your mum would love and an overpriced coffee shop but there was also a gallery. I was blown away by the style of his paintings, he essentially paints kids pretending to be their heroes with the shadow of that hero looming over them in the ether. There were also some pencil sketches, one of which was of Robin Williams which I still regret not buying there and then. Doing this podcast has been so much fun and recently I've been lucky enough to speak to some bonafide heroes of mine, I never thought in a million years I get Craig on and he was such a lovely bloke to talk to. If you enjoy listening half as much as I liked making this, please pass it on, leave a review and help me reach more people.

Thanks

As always the music discussed is played below the conversation as I believe that all musicians should be paid for what they do. This is why a purposely point the listener towards the mixtape on streaming platforms and explore you to support your local record shop by seeking out the physical releases of anything you discover through this podcast.
