#035 - Ricky Bates & Toby Robinson (The Joiners)

Bitchin' Brew

Danny returns to one of his favourite recording spots – the office upstairs at the best venue in the world, The Joiners in Southampton – for a natter with two of the venue's top promoters, Ricky Bates and Toby Robinson. They discuss this year's Independent Venue Week antics (sorry, this podcast is outrageously late to the party), the history of the venue and the building following its 50th anniversary, and the support the venue has received from the Southampton community (and vice versa) over the years. There's also chat about lesser-known Disney films, snacks, wrestling, Center Parcs and Danny's often-devastating stagediving habits... Go to a show at The Joiners, Southampton (it really is the best venue ever): joinerslive.co.uk Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (featuring Toby on bass), available now digitally and on limited edition cassette via Ol' Boat Records: scarecrowboatpunk.bandcamp.com/ SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify and Acast: smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Facebook: facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: twitter.com/bitchinbrewcast Instagram: instagram.com/bitchinbrewcast Email: [e-mail]
