I’m delighted to be joined by Rab Allan, lead guitar player of the incredible Glasvegas for our first episode since August of last year. For anyone who is not familiar with Glasvegas, they shot to fame in 2008 with the release of their Mercury Prize-Nominated eponymous debut album that went to number 2 in the UK Albums chart and became a platinum selling album. Glasvegas followed that up with 'EUPHORIC // HEARTBREAK \\' in 2011 and 'When The TV Turns to Static...' in 2013. After a 7 year absence, they return on the 2nd of April 2021 with their brand new album Godspeed. Rab candidly discusses a number of topics, including family dynamics, the city of Glasgow seeping in to the band's music, authenticity and social issues, touring in Sweden and seeing an ABBA member in a hotel, the emotional drain arising from extensive touring and hedonism, Scotland's money mentality, his favourite Scottish artists, Oasis, and of course, the return of Glasvegas and 'Godspeed.'
