Sheer 110 - Jimmy Watkins (Future of the Left)
Manage episode 343411516 series 3278563
We're playing out Part 2 of our Jimmy Watkins interview this week.
Previously, Jimmy was telling us about how he set up the Running Punks - an online community which supports mental health by combining music and running.
This week he talks more about his previous incarnations - including his time playing in alt-rock band Future of the Left, and then the Vega Bodegas.
He also explains why he embarked on a music career, as at the time he was a Welsh record holder for the 800 metres and starting to prepare for a place at the Olympics!
Our music choices also have a Welsh theme this week - we play a track from Jimmy's band, the Vega Bodegas, and Kieran chooses a new release from Welsh songwriter, Tom Jenkins.
We also talk about a growing trend for people to move away from streaming services in favour of physical discs, and we look at some of the gigs taking place in towns across the West in the coming week.
