In this week's show I have Part One of a two part interview with Jon Bickley. Jon contacted me several weeks ago with his CD's. I was really impressed with his song writing, lyrical construction and all round outlook on life that I started contacting him via social media which culminated in a visit from Jon to Somer Valley studios were we chatted for length about music, life, song writing and ideology; so much so that the interview will be split into two parts, this week and next.
This weeks interview will also be split into 2 parts, one before and one after the Morris Round Up! So its ALL UP for an in-depth and inciting interview with Jon Bickley.
Part 1
Introducing Jon and talking about his life, song writing
career and other bands he works with.
Jon
performs one of his protest songs ‘Not In My Name’ from his CD ‘The Common’ live
in the studio and we discuss the background behind why he wrote the song and
his ideology around protest.
Part 2
Continuing with his ideas and motivation for protest Jon
performs another song from ‘The Common’ with ‘Poppies for
Sale’ discussing its meaning in length.
Jon and I continue to chat about his guitar
technique along with his musical and song-writing influences.
Jon was excited to here that his prog rock collaboration
with his friends in
Bath, Pagan Harvest is
mirrored by another
Somer
Valley show - The ‘Progtolagists
with Chris and Rees’ whom he is keen to connect with.
