Starting where last weeks episode left off, Alfie and Fionnán continue the conversation around gender inequality in the music industry but this week they’re focusing on the live sector. The lads are then joined by Elliott Andrews who is if we may a so, a touring expert! Elliott has been a successful drummer for acts such as The Maccabees, Kate Nash and Paolo Nutini and now works as a tour manager for a wide range of acts such as AJ Tracy and Alan Carr. So he knows touring from both sides! He shares invaluable insights, information that may be surprising and also he is just a really funny dude. We think you’ll like him!

In the second half of the episode we’re joined by independent artist Alexz Johnson. Alexz is an accomplished artist, navigating her career without the backing or approval of a major label or team. She's even her own manager! She's truly DIY and is absolutely killing it. If anyone can inspire you to push forward as an artist, it’s Alex. She takes us through the surprising chapters of her career up to where she is now. She was an amazing guest and left Fionnán with dimples he was so happy!
