Ian Leadbeter sent me an email asking if he could join me on the podcast, he said "I’ve been a massive fan since 1980 & been to many concerts in the UK. Being a fan has introduced me to other artists such as Tom Waits, Jackson Browne & Southside Johnny who I have also seen live many times. Inspired by Springsteen, I started writing about 15 years ago & I’m one half of “The Dirty Scoundrels” & have released four albums. Furthermore, I published a 10 part podcast called “Springsteen & Friends” on Mixcloud which includes artists with a link to Bruce." After such a great email, I knew that Ian and I would have a blast and we did.
