An absolute dream to speak to this boy!

Callum '29' Wilson plays Bass in The Snuts, a band that I've frequently referenced on the podcast and one of theee best bands going right now!

Since debut album WL was released in 2021 The Snuts have released another two, Burn The Empire and latest offering Millenials, as well as that they've left their record label and set up their own, the band are fresh of the back of 2 Barrowlands shows and a tour of North America, and about to go out to Australia and Japan before a UK tour in the autumn.

We spoke about all this and Callum gave me an insight into how things REALLY work on Sunday Brunch, and at the end he picked his heroes too!

What can you say about this guy, with The Lumineers, Jeremiah has toured the world extensively, with sold out shows at Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre as well as across Europe and Australia, currently writing album 5 with The Lumineers, Jeremiah has also just released his second solo album 'Piano Piano 2' follow up to, you guessed it 'Piano Piano'

Both solo albums are ideas Jeremiah had amassed from over a decade in the music industry and in the middle of a pandemic Jeremiah was able to find the time to work on these and produce a collection of instrumentals that I have found are the perfect accompaniment for an afternoons session playing Football Manager, who'd have thought it eh!!!

We spoke about all this plus tons more and then Jer picked his heroes!

What an absolute class guest, check out his links below:
