This is Long Way to the Top with Shayne Brian. In the words of the immortal ACDC, "it is harder than it looks". These interviews will give you a glimpse into the lives of the artists that we have sung along with, danced and rocked out to. Some go deep into their past and others celebrate their recent releases, but all of them show that regardless of who you are…it is always a long way to the Top.

This series was developed off the back of both The Bad Boys Podcasts and the wonderful chats I have had with artists on LAFM. Some are brand new and some are resurrected interviews from the archives. In some cases I will be joined by my Bad Boys co-host, Andrew Hackett and then other times it is just me, the mic and my musical hero.

Even now, after countless interviews, I still get a nervous excitement in chatting with my guests, and I hope that will never change because it is that admiration for their music that I want you to experience as you embark on your journey with them on their long way to the top.

S3E3 - Grant Nicholas (Feeder)

In 2023 a group was formed called Kindred Spirit, releasing a song called Think Loud to raise funds for Cure Parkinsons. The project was spearheaded by UK Manager, Ian Grant (Big Country, The Stranglers), who has been a long term Parkinson's Disease sufferer. 

Fast forward 18 months and the project has now released an album with a who's who of the UK music industry. I caught up with Ian Grant, the producer of the album - Paul Mitchell, and the legendary Leo Sayer who features prominently on the album alongside many artists he counts as friends, all donating their time to make this album a true collectors item.

A huge thank you to all the artists involved for getting behind this incredible project and bringing awareness to Parkinson's Disease.
