Description
This week, Swimmers chats with Joe Chester, who has released 6 studio albums as well as instrumentals and live performance recordings (several of which have been given album of the year nods in end of year lists).
A producer, songsmith and guitar extraordinaire, Chester is self-taught and has been around long enough to be very worth listening to. In a wide-ranging interview he speaks of staying busy to stay happy, working with other musicians, how he builds a song over the course of years, touring (or not touring as the case may be) and why he likes recording and playing in churches!
Joe finishes with a legendary tour story of the time My Bloody Valentine saved his life... literally! Dive in and explore his back catalogue with Ten Speed Racer, A Lazarus Soul, Hedge Schools, his solo work and collaborations with The Waterboys and Gemma Hayes. A fascinating insight.
