My thoughts most of Saudia what have you called yourself and she said You're what they wanted out and. She said I'm cool myself Saudia grace it's taken a while for there to get to a point where she is releasing a body of music she calls it little pieces of me and I think maybe there will be. a theme that we're going to hear from Gardner as part of this week's main event in just a moment but yes that reminder you can get in touch with us allows know what you're releasing through our social channels just search b.b.c. Music introducing in the way we're all over everything social channels social channels your social channels turn up the channel turn the channel. So you've got the house making music for an awfully long time in fact when I was talking to him before this interview he remembers all dishing up the croft in Bristol at the age of 131 particular gig now are amazing but we've known him as an up and coming artist and it wasn't until around 2018 when he guested on the pound for pound LP made by next man a gentleman's dub club that it really felt like he was gaining in confidence and going forward. He was a student at the University of music at Bristol. I worked with him quite closely with. This student there and he. Didn't take himself too seriously but he always took the music very seriously you know that makes sense and he came away when he left university he was one of those students to get a burst from the end of it which was great which he's then I think gone on to ease on things like this record good time and normal times and he's also had P.R.'s find funding over the last couple of. Yes Yeah but this is his debut album released just before Christmas he's really versatile you know wellness album there a bit as reggae there's this grind there's garridge there's jungle you name it it's there and basically the title is well it's a kind of state of mind it's a manifesto for his lawyer and it's definitely gotten off to chewed. Young man for a good sign on a long time and I said yes he did a good laugh and it's made it good music pretty good times I just want to get that good good good long I'm in a good mood it will be good to go there goodbye and I need some good food I just said good morning to the good few I don't want bad news not have a good life I have some good friends I love where I live I live on I love my friend they are. Bats and I was no good them but I've heard that's good for you and look out at times you follow new trends it is. Good. I'm. Good so I know a long time is a say like it's floated around between you know me me and my friends you know if it gets on the long time it's like that's that's what it is and is kind of true to me and what I do like I'm never in one place for too long time or you to. Do. Anything with this option of going to. This to talk about you know the good times you know you go and I like being young party and you know traveling with the sound and it's like to do that and self experience and all those things. I made pretty much the whole album minus a few the tracks of the Luke who is like he's a producer from London He's one half of the next man produces multiple records finally Guy of course then the great job on the album so I go to his studio in London and. I was going there like twice a month maybe just getting the train up and down make a bus is you know just so. That we basically and we had to go in there just like you know a couple of buses and then we'd sit down together find the vibe for the b. And then who do we want on this and we just a minute every time he's you know going to get me get that you know the next the next time I come to London we come in the studio. It was a pleasure to work with him like you know he's a legend and made so many great tracks and. Even my mom loves our mom my dad but that is by no in the tapes and stuff so you know and you know it gets a little. Kind of cool so yeah like yeah just you know did you just go. You want to sing on it and he said yes along with this particular one. But it was a simple enough it's just. An Instagram. For you to like you. And I sent him a speak to the manager comes like a month and we've got him in the studio in London he's just finished a karate class. Comes in there writes the song because the lyrics harmonize is in 10 different keys in this. A 7 hour just under an hour 15 minutes and it's out the door again. Literally good time not a long time and oh my you're a g. For the. 6 weeks mine event. In the West in conversation with God not. About his debut album good time not a long time. Which has. Taken a long time from to get. Some as we say gardeners advice is don't rush it and take the day to day he actually firmly believes that his career is really only started with the release of this debut album and that. 10 years of his work. Things that happen in to me now that you know if I was to try and rush it boy sliding into someone's DMCE you know 5 years ago my might just make him like it was it was never going to happen at that time because it was the right time you know you have to always put in the work and just step by step day by day just keep on doing it until you know the people that you want to work with know it's it you know but it's not about like shoving it down people's throats it saves me. It's a slow game but also now I'm like I'm $25.00 now and I'm thinking like you know this I've got to take it out to the next level in the next 5 years you know to be to be. In the place I want to be so yeah I like this it's not about Russian essentially you know I see some people are sometimes too corny. Like going hard very quick and you know it doesn't it doesn't work out. And you know it's good to keep it that way you know happy happy here in Bristol and I spent in the music and the sound of what I did never cross cross Europe and even for. A straight nose exactly those are the opportunities that come off the back of not only you producing your own great music but I guess the collaboration of people you work with you know you make all those contacts and it gives you gives you opportunities that if you were doing an isolation you wouldn't get so yeah definitely my people actually think for me like having having had these successes you know go into the shows and you know meet in the people who were in the same lineups as me you know and go in there and you know becoming friends with them essentially like spend a lot of time with. You know you see them again. Some festival season where the kids are more and you see that this has definitely helped me to show up and you know I like the people I have a mile but a lot of people that you know I look up to and I love the music and you know they're real inspirations to me like Jenny So welcome to the. Shit. Show my sound is very much true to Bristol and it has the place the bass line and you know all about the sound systems and stuff this is the sound it's recognised now well why don't I was shocked that you know when we go to places like Australia like this is essentially it just felt to me. Like it's like you know it's very much very much look to the u.k. What we're doing is like I think. You don't realise how lucky you have it here to take the lead in Bristol sometimes and how massive it is everywhere people. From Bristol and this be so cool living there and I'm like it is. Like there is no place like and. It's a good thing and so we keep it all in and wherever it takes me so experience is all about the old in it and taking the music as far as wide as a prosecutor can so as long as it's an active venue you know under. The scanner talking to me last week about his debut album good time not a long time it all kicked off a gardener back in 2018 really because he made this album pine for Pine next man. Who producing this album plus gentleman's dub club released this album and Gardner was amongst the collaboration's one of the features one of the voices on the album he's kind of taken up ball and run with it so this new album continues those collaboration the features are absolutely key and as we've said it's a melting pot styles from Omar who we heard on good time to artists like Taiwan and see they are key to the garden a signed. God not want. To make the music live in mind for it to be played to a big stage on a festival so you know tracks would translate on a big stage or a festival they'd also work in you know in a small in a small dance you know a 100 capacity you know small venues so that's what we try and try and make it for is for the. Songs it's got you know the baseline and you know it's heartbeat and I'm into it. But. When the influence varies from so I think it I think it completely depends on the vocalist that we had in mind for the track so you know it was the only one is Scott double bass isn't it got that kind of like 2 step garridge old school. Vibe to it and like straight away like Ok I was the one with Taiwan and Cece out I. Think most people who look at the album Look pick up the record and look at you look at the sleeve you've got yes most people recognize at least one person so. Like a lot of a lot of people can relate to and how does that go when you go. Do you have different covering for the people who have been on originally. Everybody together on a regular basis yes a lot of I'd love to. See happen for the show which is amazing you know we was basically a sold out factor and we had all of the artists down and it was just incredible in London and the next week similar things happen and it doesn't happen for every show we have like special versions with the chorus already in the front of the mic so you know if people want to sing along to the courses that they can I'm not going to have you know me trying to sing in Cali cooks beautifully I don't look at. The a. Bank. Was. Such a a. Thank you thank you for your feeling baby no one. Ok you. Mean. Like you say she's like you know like you just up 1st let me see oh my goodness indeed it. Would be taking it on my tongue but I get. To this next hour the spider web site I guess is going to go into the guy. Is a g. She's a friend comes through to the studio just lays down the hook super easily writes it down on the spot similar to our mom you know these guys I go pros and just sit there and really you know when you're in the studio with them you know they're there you know artistic level was just like it's just my. 'd To sound. Big up or to be seen gang a long time is out now and the vinyl is available on a white 100 in a heavyweight and yeah it's available to God The Music dot com So it's here yes yeah radio friendly. A copy of my yes yes and I have taken it. So you can't nick it off me I mean that's what you'd normally do You were there he's got a bunch of shows coming up in the governor Yeah I want to mention that the 2 trucks you heard there were lioness featuring the vocals of holly Cooke and then pressure Taiwan mc was the feature on that when you know he's he's just on a debut London show he sold out Thekla in Bristol but you know you London show alongside Bristol's disco so that was obviously a big gig for him and then he's looking forward to the summer you may have seen online when he released rude boy with next man and gentleman stub club last year all the you know year before last year of course there's this amazing video of him in front of thousands of people a boom time in the summer or 2019 it's absolutely going down a storm so you can see where he's kind of stepped up and I can't wait to see him at the festivals during this summer the summer of 2020 not least how great would it be to have the g. The big g d t c that I think it was last summer that that video that went viral of garden like in there in a flat on Gloucester. Out the window. Just kind of like playing in I think in someone's bedroom or someone's kitchen someone's house he's playing in but he's obviously there turned out loud and then outside the window there are people dancing in 500 people in the. Craft obviously. If you want to catch garden performing live he can be going to be at South.

So the music news with just a moment and then of course after the news Lewsey in session but it's time we caught up with an old friend Joe Sharon. Been a busy boy he's been off on top with family but he's back making music I think with planes. And he's kind of drip fed to us over the last few months Tracey being the last thing we heard and actually I caught up. Watching a session with nowhere sessions in Bristol harbor but it's not as simple as just saying it's Bristol it's actually one of those things one of those bits that sticks out into the warm. Almost yeah yeah yeah yeah so if you get the camera in the right angle. All intents and purposes go flailing around but apparently it was not a particularly good day for the weather there were heavy showers so they're pursuing a career outside of conveyancing and there's Tracy both with Joe. As it got increasingly dark and dumper but he did a fine job as well with looking the know where sessions with long and is a great gig coming up on February 5th next week at the exchange in Bristol put on by printhead what a bill this is Benjamin spikes. Time recently. And Jamie Cruickshank. The exchange I would really recommend. Breakfast as our. Release tomorrow I think I think you might be really. Kind of crazy bring your own wedding present. So we'd like to make me. Think. They do anyway this is Mold featuring cage work just epic and orchestral and you Louisiana and moldy old but also quite beautiful yes wonderful I mean if I ever mind me of the band Polyphonic Spree that kind of vibe just like you know loads of vocals loads of noise loads a mess but underneath it like essentially just call just beautiful Chocola just melting away in your mouth I think it's an open secret that you're not going to be here next week so you're going to miss the brand new single from radiators and I think Joe's been working on the crazy able governor. So the big keeper by radiators that will be on next week's show but that's a mold featuring cage work Lewsey in session coming next. If it is. The same b.b.c.
