The one where we chatted about what it is like to be playing on the new Tony Iommi album.Whatever metric you look at Becky Baldwin has packed an enormous amount into her musical journey so far. Known as an energetic live performer, over the last decade or so she has averaged over a hundred gigs a year, playing across the UK Europe and the Americas (with Australia coming up before the end of the year).She has been played as a regular member of multiple bands, and is currently performing with legendary Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate, Birmingham based hard rock/metal band Fury and hip hop / nu metal artist Delilah Bon.She has a successful Patreon channel and is heavily involved in teaching, as well as setting curriculum content for Bass and Vocal courses.And that is before we get around to the small matter of being invited to contribute to the new Tony Iommi project.Blimey. What a great way to kick-off season five...Becky WebsiteBecky YouTubeBecky Patreon9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show UK, an annual event held in Birmingham and loved by guitarists young & old.

The one where we talk big hair with an accidental influencer.To be fair, using the term 'accidental' about Dagan feels a little bit tight, but as it happens it has the ring of truth about it. So, despite him being a naturally gifted presenter and clearly very comfortable in front of the camera, when he has ended up wasn't really part of the plan.Then again neither was the family business, or a future where the required footwear was yellow and waterproof, which is why a fortuitously redirected phone call is actually the moment that everything changed. We had a great time hearing about Dagan's journey so far, including the ups and downs of life at the retailer PMT and what he is embarking on next.And that is a wrap for this the fourth season of 9-42. By the time you read this we will be in California attending the NAMM show, hopefully lining up guests for season five!Dagan Youtube9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show UK, an annual event held in Birmingham and loved by guitarists young & old.

The one where we recorded a podcast about a podcast.Before we start you should know that this one gets a little chaotic, and there are a couple of very good reasons for that. Firstly there are four of us around the table, and that always makes it a little harder to follow. And secondly it is fair to say that Chris & Jonny (who host In The Pocket) aren’t short of banter, enthusiasm or opinion.As with a lot of these episodes we just let the chat take its course, and so as we learn about the backstory of the pod, we also drift into other aspects of that day-to-day of content creation and long forgotten basses.In The Pocket PodcastIn The Pocket Youtube9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show UK, an annual event held in Birmingham and loved by guitarists young & old.

The one where we asked Ace a single question, and just let him go.Listening back to this episode it's kind of hard to describe exactly the theme of it, because it covers so much ground and covers so many topics. Of course it's nothing less than you would expect from a guitarist who has been part of a stadium-filling, platinum-selling, band like Skunk Anansie. He is a force of nature, and that's exactly how you want him to be.What we did learn was how the music business is wired into his DNA, and not just the obvious stuff, but his knowledge of both the zeitgeist and the dark dusty corners. He takes us through his links to Music Education, and how he helps Students really understand how the industry works, as well as his Radio Show, his solo projects and his writing. Strap yourself in, because it's a doozy.Ace WebsiteAce Instagram9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show UK, an annual event held in Birmingham and loved by guitarists young & old.

The one where we get to meet an axe-wielding Heavy Metal legend.If you are a follower of rock music, and you are also of a certain age, then you will be no doubt aware of the term New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (a phrase that was often referred to by the somewhat predictable but nevertheless jaunty acronym of NWOBHM). Anyway, it was a late seventies, early eighties phenomena and it was coined due to the combined impact of a group of UK bands that included Def Leppard's, Motorhead and the mighty Saxon.Paul Quinn along with vocalist Biff Byford was part of the original Saxon line-up that came together in Barnsley, and went on to literally rock all over the world. We managed to grab Paul for a chat, and get the lowdown on what life was really like, including how Saxon were instrumental in bringing Spinal Tap to the screen.9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show UK, an annual event held in Birmingham and loved by guitarists young & old.
