Hello people! Welcome to the when in Yorkshire podcast I hope you’re all well. This is episode 63 and another episode that has rescued from the digital abyss where is was being held captive for the past 12 months and I’m very excited to finally release it. This episode features guitarist Will McGonagle of Symposium and Hell Is For Heroes. Before I get into this episode I will shout out that Hell Is For Heroes are about to go out on tour hitting 

Bristol Fleece 3rd April

Glasgow Garage 4th April

Manchester Academy 5th April

London Electric Ballroom 6th April


There are limited tickets still left for most dates so got on your internets and buy em.


As a bonus treat, previous guest Tom Campbell will be working his light based magic and make them look awesome too.


Whilst all the guests I have on here are people I think have interesting stories and I’m generally a fan of their work, every now and then I’m lucky enough to spend time with someone whose work has had a significant impact on me and this is absolutely one of these times. I enjoyed Symposium when they were first around and have certainly developed a greater appreciation for what a force they were, especially live but Hell Is For Heroes had a huge influence on me as a musician and were / still are one of my favourite bands to see live. I’m please to report that based on spending an hour with him, Will is a fricking delightful person and I would go for a curry with him. The list of gigs he attended back in the early to mid 90’s is amazing and was great hearing about his experiences with record labels as well as many other stories.


Enjoy.
