EPISODE 3 – Joan Collins, Live Music and The Decline of the Christmas Record. (with special guest Jamie Summerfield)

Hi and welcome to episode 3 of the podcast that hopes to combine coffee, conversation and comedy with interesting topics, A Couple of Drips.

Reporter, music journalist, social media guru, now turned singer-songwriter, there isn’t much that today’s guest, Jamie Summerfield, can’t turn his hand to. In this episode, we ruminate on what happened to proper Christmas songs, how Jamie wrote one of his own, how much we miss live music, and during our ‘claim to fame’ section, we find out why Joan Collins thought he was a bit shifty. Jamie has also been kind enough to give us a sneak preview of his new single, Christmas Eve, to be released on 4th December and because it’s nearly Christmas, we have a small but silly mockumentary, into the creative process of making the record.

We’d love to hear your comments about things you’d like us to discuss in future episodes, guests you’d like to see and, of course, coffees you’d like us to try.
