Looking back at the last 20 months pt. 1
In E 78 AA looks back over the pandemic, lockdown and his own predictions, misgivings, rants, thoughts of the last 20+ months and tries to assess what he kinda sorta got correct and what he might have got wrong, it's a ramble across where we seem to be right now, how shaky the ground is, is the dust settling, is the fog clearing, all those kinda cliches, did we lose our minds and is this the moment to start trying to piece them back together? Normal pessimistic service is resumed after a few weeks of only talking music! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

The origins of an accidental 30 year musical career?.....
This year is somehow the 30th anniversary of Primordial! so this is the first of a few ramshackle, sprawling stream of consciousness casts about how that happened, how we felt as young men starting on that journey, what our aspirations were if any, those early years, the romance is always portrayed as a 'this is our ticket outta here....' kinda narrative but if anything it was a small % of that but mainly a haphazard, unplanned, directionless journey that somehow stayed the course and before you know it you stand at the end of 30 years looking back trying to make some sense of it all! this if the first of my attempts to sense make how we got here!

Maiden Afghanistan
Returning in 74 after a technical glitch which meant AA missed a week this is the long promised and perhaps unwise look at the history of Afghanistan, from the Anglo-Afghan war in 1839 through to the present day, thoughts on the recent withdrawal, some dark and off the beaten track observations and what this means for US/Western influence in the modern world. Along with some thoughts on the new Iron Maiden and why AA ain't you nor your bands keeper!!! back in the game.....Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

THE 1ST GIG BACK......The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say.....
In E 72 I dissect the first Primordial gig in 20 months back after lockdown in London last weekend, how did they prepare? choose the setlist, travel procedures. how was it to step back into a busy bar and talk to strangers once again? do shots at the bar with people ya don't know, realising it was something you hadn't done in 20+ months. Anxious? Nervous? Hesitant? How was it to stand on the stage again and get back in the ring, all those things answered.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

a chat w/ Chris from Winterfylleth
In E 72 I chat with my old mate Chris from Winterfylleth, one of the most stirring and genuine bands of the last decade or so, genuine Pagan Metal in the true definition of the word! What it was like returning to the stage at Bloodstock and then a deep dive into the weeds over politics, cancel culture, the polarisation of the black metal scene during the pandemic, the erosion of the middle ground, nuance and reason and why both of us are misunderstood gentlemen in a vulgar world :)have it large!!!!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
