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. Please enjoy our discussion and the go to the links below to hear his radio broadcast featuring Springsteen covers as well as him and his musical partner from The Dirty Scoundrels on BBC radio.
