Navigating the music business can be as alien as it is confusing which is where Kitt Carr comes in. As event coordinator for Wide Events CIC, she organises industry essentials such as Wide Days and Off The Record Scotland, major events helping demystify everything from getting on the radio to releasing music, securing gigs, and more, by plugging into their network of industry experts to share leading advice. She talks to podcast host Shaun Milne about how she got involved, the work she and the team does, overcoming challenges, identifying opportunities and the next event coming up - all about growing live audiences.

Record deals, late night bust-ups, overseas tours, NME interviews, the Peel Sessions, Glastonbury and pissing on historic monuments were all part and parcel of Scots band Mogwai's early rise as the young team went onto conquer the 1990's, driven in part by their then manager Colin Hardie.

As the band gets ready to embark on a 2025 world tour after the release of their latest album The Bad Fire, he takes us behind the scenes of what it was like going from playing small gigs in Glasgow and the Highlands to some of the biggest stages in the world, the qualities needed in a manager at the time, and whether or not he'd be willing to do it all over again.

Recorded in Glasgow with host Shaun Milne, its a nostalgia laden trip back to the 1990s when Kappa was still vogue, benefits supplemented life and no-one would be surprised if DF supremo Geoff Ellis phoned up your parents.

Episode 20, 'Colin', is streaming now.

The Smile You Send Out Returns To You couldn't be more fitting for the name ofConstant Follower's latest album, released on February 28 via Last Night From Glasgow. Because in this episode ofGood Stuff In Between it is the smile, the uplifting joy that oozes out from Stephen McAll as he talks about how it all came together, that dominates most. It is juxtaposed next to a raw, honest and deeply personal account of violence, substance abuse and societal cruelty that, in part, informs the beauty and creativity that has emerged through the ripples of time. It was a privilege, and inspiration, to record.
