In this episode, we welcome Paul Jamieson—a lifelong music enthusiast who grew up surrounded by melody and rhythm, from choirboy beginnings to rock clubs with Hell’s Angels. Paul shares stories of rare records, unforgettable concerts, and his deep admiration for music legends, taking us from Van Halen’s groundbreaking sounds to The Beatles vs. Stones debate.

Join us for a nostalgic and entertaining trip through music history, where we explore how the communal experience of music has evolved and why bands like U2, Fleetwood Mac, and the Eagles continue to captivate audiences. With Paul’s insights, we dive into the stories behind the music, vinyl collections, and the enduring magic of live performances.
