This has to be one of the most fun episodes to date! The girls from Los Bitchos meet me in the great outdoors for a bit of metal detecting and a chat. In between all of the excitement of searching for treasure, we discuss the formation of the band, the Bitchos live experience and their excellent new album 'Los Bitchos and Friends Vol. 1'. The album is an absolute belter and you should all go see Los Bitchos live in 2027! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

No your eyes do not deceive you... This week on the podcast I'm joined by both GANS and Cowboy Hunters for the first ever DIDAP MEGA EPISODE! We planned to meet in Stoke-on-Trent to record two separate episodes but for reasons outside of anyone's control, both bands arrived at once and we went with it. The result: a beautifully chaotic episode of the podcast. Coins get found, ceilidh's get danced and most importantly - no one gets hurt! This episode of the podcast was recorded at the beautiful Stockton Brook Water Works in Stoke-on-Trent.
