Think about the stars of the 00's and Amy Winehouse immediately comes to mind. This week, we interview Naomi Parry, Amy's fashion stylist. Naomi was in her late teens when her mate Amy asked if she’d be interested in styling her. That was 2006, the year Amy released Back to Black.  The next 6 years were a whirlwind of world tours, festivals and music videos. Naomi was there for the good times; and the times of turmoil too. In the pod, we chat about the outfits Naomi designed for Amy, and tragically never got to wear. We also speak Amy’s style; a style that in many ways still influences wh ..read more

I’ll openly admit I had no idea what Callum’s job entailed before chatting to him - but he’s a musical wizard and taught me all about building songs for the stage, in comparison to the studio. Whilst we were all baking banana bread in lockdown, Callum was working on Dua Lipa’s studio 2054 live stream concert. When non-lockdown life allows, he also tours with Zara Larson, and played a role in Ed Sheeran’s world tour, the highest grossing tour ever. In our chat we speak about long days on set, keeping calm in intense moments and learn which artist has the tastiest catering. Enjoy.   If you ..read more
