This episode is packed with value for songwriters, local musicians, bands, singer-songwriters, cover singers, and aspiring producers, including tips on how to develop your ear in the studio and how artists can earn more from their music by signing up to PRS and claiming royalties.   Nick also opens up about every producer’s fear of “not being able to get it right,” shares his production philosophy, and talks about a recent trip to Nashville with a local country artist for the Josie Music Awards, including a nomination for Song of the Year. We wrap up with a powerful conversation about social media, modern artists, and why being authentic always beats being perfect.   If you’re into music podcasts, music production, recording studios, songwriting, and the local music scene, this one’s for you.     SUBSCRIBE for more episodes just like this  MOBILE: https://to.mysocial.io/s/BcKAkrpB8 DESKTOP: https://www.youtube.com/@theonemoresongcast/featured?sub_confirmation=1   MERCH STORE | BUY A T-SHIRT - SUPPORT THE CHANNEL theonemoresongcast.bigcartel.com   Timestamps Introducing Nick Sagar 0:00 Nick's Musical Beginnings | 6:23 Challenges In Studio / Producer Philosophy | 14:59 The Origins Of 3507 Studio | 22:48 Developing Your Musical Ear | 37:22 A Music Producers Fears | 46:34 Modern Artists On Social Media | 52:46 The Best Of Preston - Project | 1:05:37 Music Royalties & Licensing | 1:12:32 Career Highlights & AI's impact on Music Production | 1:21:24 Trip To Nashville For Music Awards | 1:25:54 Advice For Upcoming Music Producers | 1:29:31   Follow Nick & Studio 3507 | INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/3507studio/ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/3507studio    Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w   SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast    Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/           https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband           https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/   ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B |  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w    Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks! #musicpodcast #musicproducer #localmusic #independentmusic #recordingstudio

This episode is a powerful and honest conversation that will resonate with songwriters, local musicians, and aspiring artists navigating the modern music industry.   MILLICENT shares her songwriting journey, beginning with being thrown into the deep end of the music business at a young age. Busking in busy city centres under the guidance of her Dad shaped her resilience as a working musician, but also created intense pressure to succeed. She opens up about being scouted for The Voice UK, reflecting on the experience with honesty, humility, and hindsight. While the show offered exposure, MILLICENT discusses the realities of talent shows, life after The Voice, and why they aren’t always what they appear to be for young, naïve artists.   A deeply moving part of this episode focuses on losing her father and the emotional weight of trying to do him proud while continuing her music career. We also discuss the pressure of staying relevant on social media, a challenge many independent artists and singer songwriters face today, alongside conversations about her new EP, creative growth, and whether she would ever consider reapplying for The Voice UK to prove the judges wrong.   Embedded in the Preston local music scene, MILLICENT is a charming, grounded, and inspiring guest. This episode offers real insight into grassroots music, the mental and emotional side of being a musician, and the resilience required to keep creating. A must-watch for anyone passionate about local music, songwriting, and authentic artist stories.     SUBSCRIBE for more episodes just like this  MOBILE: https://to.mysocial.io/s/BcKAkrpB8 DESKTOP: https://www.youtube.com/@theonemoresongcast/featured?sub_confirmation=1   MERCH STORE | BUY A T-SHIRT - SUPPORT THE CHANNEL theonemoresongcast.bigcartel.com   Timestamps Introducing MILLICENT | 0:00 Music In Childhood | 1:46 Thrown In The Deep End | 10:59 Early Music Releases | 16:48 University Experience | 20:21 The Voice | 21:51 Life After The Voice | 34:51 New EP | 47:36 Remembering Millicent's Dad | 50:21 Harmonies | 56:46 Promoting Your Own Music | 1:02:01 Validation From Talent Shows | 1:04:49    Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w   SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast    Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/           https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband           https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/   ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B |  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w    Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks!   #independentartist  #musicpodcast #localmusic #grassrootsmusic #musicindustrytruth

Welcome to Episode 31 of our local music podcast, a Christmas Special packed with honest conversation, laughs, and real-life experiences from the world of working musicians. In this festive end-of-year episode, we welcome Lee Richards, blues artist and crowd favourite, back to the podcast. Lee’s relaxed, honest, and comedic interview style sets the perfect tone for a Christmas special that reflects the true highs and lows of being a musician. This episode dives deep into the reality of a music career, especially at the grassroots level. We reflect on our favourite musical moments of 2025, talk candidly about relentless gigging, burnout, and how easy it can be to lose sight of why we make music in the first place. As three active, working musicians, we share perspectives that local musicians, songwriters, bands, and aspiring artists will strongly relate to. We also look ahead, discussing what we want from 2026, our musical Christmas lists, and our biggest bugbears of 2025 from a musician’s perspective. From frustrating industry realities to personal wins, this episode captures the emotional rollercoaster that defines the life of a musician.  We round things off with some festive fun, sharing our Christmas plans and breaking up the conversation with two games: Hum the Intro to a Song and Is It a Lee Richards Lyric or a Country Lyric? Whether you’re a local musician, songwriter, cover singer, original artist, or someone dreaming of a full-time music career, this music podcast episode offers honesty, humour, and inspiration. It’s the perfect way to finish the year and celebrate grassroots music, creativity, and community.   SUBSCRIBE for more episodes just like this  MOBILE: https://to.mysocial.io/s/BcKAkrpB8 DESKTOP: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOneMoreSongCast/featured?sub_confirmation=1   MERCH STORE | BUY A T-SHIRT - SUPPORT THE CHANNEL theonemoresongcast.bigcartel.com Timestamps Introducing Lee Richards | 0:00 Favourite Musical Moments 2025 | 2:07 Losing Sight Of Why You Do Music | 20:55 Luke’s Musical Highlight | 29:20 GAME - Hum The Music Intro | 41:22 Aspirations for 2026 | 52:00 Game - Lee Richards lyric Or Country Lyric | 1:20:12 Forgetting Lyrics At Gigs | 1:31:30 Musical Xmas List | 1:34:30 Bigger Musical Bugbear Of 2025 | 1:43:20 Plans For Christmas | 1:49:50    Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w   SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast    Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/           https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband           https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/   ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B |  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w    Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks!

Welcome to Episode 30 of our Local Music Podcast, where we sit down with Rob Jones, the songwriter and creative force behind the Americana project Rob Jones & The Restless Dream. Known for his dreamlike lyrical imagery, reflective songwriting, and deeply thoughtful outlook on life and the music industry, Rob delivers one of our most honest and inspiring conversations to date. In this episode, Rob opens up about making the life-changing decision to walk away from his career as a school teacher — and a long-term relationship — during Covid, to fully commit to becoming a full-time songwriter living off original music. In an industry where success is never guaranteed, Rob takes us through the highs and lows of the music business, battling self-doubt, building self-belief, and ultimately finding peace through faith, philosophy, and acceptance. We dive deep into key topics for songwriters and working musicians, including: 🎶 His debut album Stars 🎶 The role of AI and social media in shaping the future of songwriting 🎶 The ruthlessness required to survive in the modern music industry 🎶 Playing cover gigs to fund original Americana music 🎶 How turning to God reshaped his relationship with success and struggle 🎶 The supernatural and philosophical nature of songwriting Charismatic, humble, and deeply reflective, Rob draws on religion, literature, and life experience to share powerful insights for Americana artists, local musicians, bands, and aspiring songwriters. His message is clear: the music business is hard, often unglamorous, but if the calling is real — do it anyway. A must-watch episode for anyone navigating the realities of making music today.

Welcome to Episode 29 of our Local Music Podcast, where we sit down with Yazzmin Devoy, better known as Modern Dolly — one of the North West’s most exciting and authentic Dolly Parton tribute acts. Fully dressed as Dolly and performing with all the charm and wit of the country icon herself, Yazzmin kicks off the show in character, singing an incredible a cappella version of “Jolene.” In this episode, hosts Luke & Lee dive deep into the world of tribute acts — asking Yazzmin the big questions:   🎤 Why did she choose to become a Dolly Parton tribute artist? 🎭 What does it take to fully embody a music legend? 💄 How does she prepare to get into character and perform live? 🎶 What’s the difference between tribute act gigs and cover gigs — and how do prices compare?   Since launching Modern Dolly, Yazzmin has become one of the most in-demand Dolly Parton tributes in the UK, performing across the North West music scene and beyond. She even caught the attention of Susan Price (wife of Slade’s Noddy Holder) and appeared on TV at a book launch for “What Would Dolly Do?”, earning praise from Eamonn Holmes himself. Yazzmin also shares her dreams of taking Modern Dolly to the next level — with full band performances, bigger lighting, live guitar shows, and even international gigs on cruise ships and high-profile weddings. If you love local music, cover singers, creative performers, or the magic of Dolly Parton, this episode is a must-watch for all aspiring musicians and tribute artists. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE for more episodes just like this 🔴 MOBILE: https://to.mysocial.io/s/BcKAkrpB8 DESKTOP: https://www.youtube.com/@theonemoresongcast/featured?sub_confirmation=1   MERCH STORE | BUY A T-SHIRT - SUPPORT THE CHANNEL https://theonemoresongcast.bigcartel.com   🕘Timestamps Introducing Modern Dolly | 0:00 Why Dolly Parton? | 6:16 What It Takes To Be a Tribute Act | 8:27 Tribute Acts Are On The Rise | 16:03 Tv Appearance | 22:13 Tribute Act Ambitions | 26:08 Dolly Patron Interactive Quiz Game | 31:18 Bad Gig Experiences | 40:58 Pricing Work As A Tribute Act | 47:23 The Future As Modern Dolly | 57:11 FIND MODERN DOLLY | INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/modern.dolly/ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/modern.dolly/ Show Reel | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq7xyLrbSTY&t=121s 🎧 Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast 🎸 Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/ https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/ ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B | https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w   👁️ Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks! #musicpodcast #dollypartontributeact #tributeact #tributeactpodcast #localmusic

Join us for Episode 28 of our local music podcast as we sit down with Matt Joe Hall, frontman of the Lancashire indie band County Pilots. Known for blending retro 60’s pop influences with modern indie pop styles, County Pilots have carved out a unique sound that’s gaining attention across the UK local music scene. In this episode, Matt shares his journey from writing music as a child to forming County Pilots, a band celebrated for their tight vocal harmonies and captivating live performances. We discuss the band’s early singles, their biggest influences, and what it really takes to build a strong live sound. Matt opens up about working with producers, overcoming challenges, and how the band has evolved over the years to become the best version of themselves.

With their music regularly featured on BBC Introducing Lancashire, the band continues to push forward with big goals for the future—including an album Matt hopes to one day share with his grandkids. Whether you’re an indie music fan, songwriter, aspiring musician, or local band supporter, this conversation is full of insight and inspiration.
