#38: Ferg Linacre: ‘Clap Trap, the fundamental importance of friendship and The Honesty-Kindness Spectrum’

Fergus Linacre. Kingswood founding member. Award winning musician. Writer. Lover. Appreciater of life. Here is in the form you've never heard him before. Candid, considered, hilarious and telling. Fergus is a pretty special guy who has seen and experienced so much. The highest highs, some exceptionally deep lows around loss and grief, however he has a knack in embracing life as it is, and gains great joy from his relationships with his family, his mother, his bandmates and other music lovers. This is one of my all time favourite Ebbs chats. I thoroughly enjoyed recording, editing and putting this together and I really hope you'll come along for the wild ride - maybe accompanied by a neat Tennessee whisky.

A chat I thoroughly enjoyed, and reckon you will too. Check it out on most podcast platforms. Give us a follow, get in touch. All of the stuff.
