Phil Taggart’s Slacker Podcast

The Specials

Hello Slackers!I've got a 'SPECIAL' podcast for you all this week. Get it? Huh? Ok fine my pun making is that of a sub standard Hallmark card writer. This week we have a band from Coventry that could lay claim to inspiring a whole new style of British music in the 70's. They put a new spin on ska a genre of music originating from Jamaica. I've got so much joy out of The Specials music over the years so it was very special to have them bring in their early demo and shoot the breeze for an hour! If you enjoy it drop it a nice review wherever it is you listen!My new book Phil Taggart's Slacker Guide to the Music Industry is out now from <a href="http://www.philtaggartslacker.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.philtaggartslacker.com</a>This is the perfect book for anyone you know who's releasing music and could do with a helping hand. It's got 70 interviews with some of the most knowledgable artists and industry in there. I'm really happy how it turned out and would love it if you bought a copy.Follow Phil - @philytaggartSupport this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/phil-taggarts-slacker-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/phil-taggarts-slacker-podcast</a>.

Each week, host Phil Taggart grills a new guest or band on their musical career to date with the sonic launch point being as early a demo as we can prise from their vaults.
