In the opening episode of this series we are joined by singer-songwriter, Andrew Cushin.
The musician released three singles throughout 2020, and is ready for the resumption of live music, with sold-out hometown show in Newcastle already in the diary.
Cushin's talent has caught the eye of former Noel Gallagher, who was on hand to produce his most recent release.
Whilst music is now his main focus now, up until the age of 19, the Geordie artist was still playing semi-professional football as a goalkeeper.
Although he has now hung up his gloves, Cushin's passion for the beautiful game is still very much present.
This episode discusses his love for Newcastle United, as well as his decision to choose music over football.
