Talking Codswallop206. Grant SharkeyThis week Gemma sits down with the Double Bass wielding troubadore Grant Sharkey. We discuss everything under the sun in this no holes bared episode. We get into the nitty gritty of Grant's music, his goals for 40 albums, performances with The Wurzels & one of Gemma's favourite bands Skindred. Even ends with David Attenborough v The Queen. There's so much more. But, most importantly we have the best laugh along the way. We also both enjoy picking on James who could not make the recording.
End Song: Grant Sharkey - Calm Down.
