This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to present a live episode with Simon Wolstencroft, with Craig Scanlon joining later on, for a spirited look back at The Fall in 1994. Simon and the Hanleys revisit Middle Class Revolt, Peel sessions, a US tour, shifting line-ups, Brix’ return, Julia Nagle’s arrival, and the usual road-bound chaos.

Later, Craig joins the conversation for audience questions, memories, credits, grievances, and a few welcome detours along the way. Hope you enjoy!

This week on Oh! Brother, we’re joined by David Gedge. David talks about growing up in Manchester, forming The Wedding Present in Leeds, John Peel’s early support, the band’s rise through the indie scene, the famous run of monthly singles, and working with Steve Albini.

There’s plenty of Fall chat too, including first hearing Live at the Witch Trials, seeing the band in 1979, meeting Mark E. Smith, and why Hex Enduction Hour is forever linked in his mind with orange slices. Hope you enjoy!

This week on Oh! Brother, we were chuffed to have the one and only Spider Stacy on the pod. Spider takes us right back to the pre‑Pogues days (the New Bastards, Millwall Chainsaws, Burton Street squats), the Ramones at the Roundhouse encounter with Shane, and how those first “Irish rebel songs” gigs snowballed from Cabaret Futura to suddenly packed rooms.

We also get into The Nips, Elvis Costello taking them out on the road, studio realities on Rum Sodomy & the Lash (whistle overdubs and all), and his first proper brush with The Fall via Peel and Industrial Estate. Plus: Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners, the Jack’s Heroes chaos, and what it’s been like keeping the songs alive with the post‑Shane live shows. Hope you enjoy!

This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood to the show. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith in Rough Trade, working with The Fall on Slates and later Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. We also chat Prince Far I, John Peel, Tackhead and Lee “Scratch” Perry and hear about his recent move from behind the desk to performing live. Hope you enjoy!

This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome actor, director and horror fan Dominic Brunt to the show. Best known as Paddy from Emmerdale, Dominic talks us through discovering The Fall via Mr Pharmacist, seeing them dozens of times over the years, and narrowly missing out on a couple of infamous gigs. We also chat welding and drama school, life on a long‑running soap, making low‑budget horror and zombie films, Romanian bear rescues and accidentally saving a lion. Hope you enjoy!
