Description
This week's show sees Swimmers Jackson talk to Jim Byrne, owner of the Any Other City record label (Villagers, Girl Band, Squarehead alumni), manager of the mega Pillow Queens, tutor in BIMM and live drummer extrordinaire (Soak, Ailbhe Reddy, Villagers, Luke Sital-Singh). Jim talks about seeing through the bullshit to the magic of Dublin city, surviving lockdown and rescheduling as a manager of one of the hottest indie bands on the planet right now. (Pillow Queens just signed to Sub Pop and are up for Ireland's Choice Prize tonight!), growing up playing in Dublin's DIY scene (Deputy Fuzz, Life After Modelling) his drumming technique and inspirations. Jim also proves not all tour stories have to end in disaster with some lovely sweet moments from the road with Villagers.
