In todays episode Im delighted to be joined by Martin Renshaw of the band Phoenix Down.

Martin, Or Marv as i remember him, was not only a singer songwriter in the aforementioned band Phoenix Down, but played a huge and vital role in developing a creative arts community in the town. His work with Inspiral was incredibly pioneering and important in shaping the music scene to look beyond simply promoting a standard format gig.

We recorded the show at Sanctuary Studios in Watford, which allowed us to also record a live track written by Marv, and he's joined on this by the wonderful Lee Voss.

Episode 9 is recorded in memory of Dave Smale - a wonderful talent who was incredibly special to so many people and was of course a huge part of everything Marv helped to create in Watford.
