This is just a quick post to say that you should go and listen to this 15 minute radio programme from the series Joan Armatrading's Favourite Guitarists.
This episode from the series focuses on Russell Lissack from Bloc Party who I've met briefly on a couple of occasions before and after gigs. Not only is he a most charming, shy chap but he's also responsible for my modest collection of guitar pedals and my fascination with them. Bloc Party are one of my favourite bands, I've seen them live about 5 times and when I really think about it they are one of few bands that never ceases to blow me away live; spine-tingling, euphoric moments a-plenty.
Russell was a true inspiration to my friends and I when we started up our first band, and the first two Bloc Party albums, especially Silent Alarm, will always hold a special place in my heart.
Just go and listen to the show, hear a very rare interview with Russell and wonder at the magic of his guitar work.
Love and that,
Charlie.
