Gareth is joined this week by musical journeyman and author of the book 'How Not To Make It In The Pop World', John Barrow. After speaking with his long-time friend and collaborator Gaz Birtles last week, Gareth and John discuss everything from John's new book, to the old adage of 'what happens on the road, stays on the road', how John and Gaz found themselves in the Swinging Laurels with a record deal when they had just two saxes, a synth and drum machine and much more.
