    Aiming high with the low notes. Tapping the Flow with Ben Ellis.
    2021/02/28
    I sat dow to chat with Scottish bassist Ben Ellis who holds the low end together for the likes of Iggy Pop, Marc Almond, Swervedriver and many more. We had a fantastic chat about what it takes to get where you want to get to and how to navigate the ups and downs of the game. Ben also went straight after the challenge of coming up with a song for the show and graces the tape with his vocals for the first time with his own material. Its a wonderful moment and really holds a candle to the canvas as some fresh paint falls to dry in a new form. For anyone interested in the world of session playing whist also retaining a sense of your own style this is the chat for you. Ben is a total pro and a lovely fella to hang out with. Thanks for tapping the flow.

    Suffolk based Producer/Songwriter/Mentor David Booth is a man who knows what it takes to avoid any routes to music creation that lead to sterility of performance. Honing his mindset over years of being in bands, with labels and management, to becoming the go-to guy in Suffolk for authentic music production, David marks his place as a knowledgeable, open and affable human being who is keen to help others along the way. We chat in depth about his story and how it ties into his approach to working on his own music and working with others.

    Knowing the seed before planting the soil. Tapping the Flow with Jeremy Tuplin.
    2021/02/07
    UK based Singer/Musician/Songwriter Jeremy Tuplin is a man with a lyrical potency that enables the most unusual forests to appear from the seeds he choses for his artistic plantation. I was so stuck by how much attention he pays to the details and also hugely moved by the humour in his profound lyrics. They proudly stand tall alongside the artists that he often finds himself compared with such as Bill Callahan, Nick Cave & Leonard Cohen. Jeremy's music is far more than just those influences. It is a richly rewarding listen! I firmly advise you to dig deep into this mans music. He has 3 full albums to date and a new one in the pipeline waiting to burst forth. http://www.jeremytuplin.com/music.php (http://www.jeremytuplin.com/music.php) He is also the creator of some truly fine videos! http://www.jeremytuplin.com/video.php (http://www.jeremytuplin.com/video.php) Get yer ears to the machine. Thanks for https://tappingtheflow.com (Tapping the Flow).

    2021/02/03
    I sat down with the incredible London based Singer/Songwriter/Poet Gabi Garbutt - bird lover and leader of the group https://www.gabigarbutt.com (Gabi Garbutt and the Illuminations). Gabi is a crafter of magnificently human songs that bring joy and abandon to the legs of those who have been seduced by their upbeat charms. Married to this amazing band sprit are her abilities as a wordsmith of unique angles and curves. Her lyrics finely woven like tapestries that have been worn and thumbed for years, yet still reveal new ways of being with each familiarisation of the self. We spoke in depth about Gabi's approach to songwriting and wordsmithery, as well as taking a look at her developing position as an important figure to keep an eye on in the music game. Gabi and The Illuminations have been on the road with The Libertines, they recorded their debit album 'The Discredited Language of Angels' at Edwin Collins' studio in Scotland. They are due to go on the road with the Boomtown Rats later this year. I strongly urge you to go now to Bandcamp and take a listen to Gabi's music. It'll bring a great chunk of joy and understanding to your day. https://gabigarbutt.bandcamp.com/album/the-discredited-language-of-angels (You can hear the album here : 'The Discredited Language of Angels') Thanks for Tapping the Flow.

  • Sharpening the sword once the iron has cooled. Tapping the Flow with David Ford

    Sharpening the sword once the iron has cooled. Tapping the Flow with David Ford
    2021/01/31
    To be the master of the depths sometimes you have to await hindsight and experience in order to successfully navigate the waters where the jewels of your journey lie. Singer/Songwriter David Ford is one such nautical genius. With a pen that is sharpened with wit and dripping with emotion he cuts a fine vein in his trajectory to mine only the best jewels from his core. UK based David Ford made a name for himself as a true master of the loop pedal with such incredible performances as 'https://youtu.be/zY8ni5kPp-E (State of the Union)' - (give that a click if you don't know it), but it his continued thirst for excellence through compelling lyrical and melodic marriage, combined with his incredible vocal dexterity that goes from a whisper to all our distorted maelstrom that truly sets him apart from the generic practitioners of this often maligned genre. This conversation is a real gem of a chat. We spoke in depth about David's own songwriting journey and his hard won processes. It is a true reveal of how much you need to do to get to a position where your songs are worthy monuments to your emotional battles.. I urge you to dive deep into this one and grab yourselves a cup of white tea. (always with the white tea!) And check out David Ford on any of the streaming sites such as https://open.spotify.com/artist/44qEixF3k3tLYQmHjLlucy?si=FpT37lbhQZaWLMm0YuZJxA (Spotify), Apple and the like... His music has worth, value, emotional content, and a fire and fury that makes for a wonderful trip. http://davidfordmusic.com (http://davidfordmusic.com) Thanks again for Tapping the Flow
