In the last ever Jeffrey Music podcast, our heroes (John and Gordon, for clarity) head to London's Shepherd's Bush Empire to see dEUS on their Worst Case Scenario v In a Bar tour. Do not despair, the Jeffrey Podcast will relaunch as the Music Explorers Podcast with a tighter format and no website or social media, because that's too much of a faff. If you are already a subscriber, there is no need…

Late 2024, John headed off to London to see one of the UK's finest four-piece art rock bands: Cud, supported by the amusing and eccentric John Mouse. In this episode John and Gordon discuss the gig and various tangential topics, including, but not limited to, the importance of being able to sit down sometimes.

The fellas head off to a stormy Madrid and a rain-soaked poorly-located Halifax to see a favourite artist of theirs, the brilliant PJ Harvey! See here for the article on the website with a few photos from the Madrid gig.

A reflective discussion on the second series of the podcast (nearly three years in the making!), in which we look at any new activity from podcast alumni (namely Jethro Tull, dEUS and Muse), talk a bit about Komeda (and Marcus Holmberg's band Woodlands) and hand out the Golden Jeffrey for best album, as well as a few other big awards. We also add continue where we left off three years ago by…
The music of Queen is possibly the most recognised music of any British band in history - obviously The Beatles are the most well-known, their story still fascinates us, but we reckon if you were to ask a random group of people to hum a few songs by any British band, Queen would emerge as the band having the most universally recognised tunes among the masses. The Queen Jeffrey Podcast Playlist is…

Suede bounded onto the pop scene in the early 90s with their unique brand of Smiths-Bowie glam pop-rock and we were hooked. From the first chords of the single Animal Nitrate, then their smash hit debut album (then the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history) we were a couple of insatiable young Suede fans.
