Okay, letโs get into the Ten questions for The Ennrons!
๐ญ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐? I'm originally from the UK and making music and a podcast is pretty much my hobby although it's in danger of becoming a full-time job.
๐ฎ. ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ/๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป? I always loved music, from listening to LPs at home, there was always music. I sang in the school choir, got into playing guitar at Uni and joined a barbershop quartet, before leaving to front a rock band and busk on the streets of Europe.
๐ฏ. ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐?
Apart from the Beatles, my biggest influences at the moment aren't musical, but two podcasts and a YouTube channel. The first podcast is called Your band sucks (at business) and is hosted by two musicians talking about the business of running a band, how to make sure that you achieve your goals and set things up professionally. The second is a music podcast called Strong Songs in which the host analyses songs to find out what makes them great. The level of detail is astounding and the host is a professional musician. It's just so inspiring to see how great artists and composers add depth and hooks to their music. The YouTube channel is MUSformation and is about how to grow your fan base through effective use of social media.
๐ฐ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ป ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ? I can't remember a time when I wasn't making music, but The Ennrons is the first time I have released music to the public.
๐ฑ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐? My goal is to be able to earn a living in the music industry with a combination of releasing music, growing my mixing and mastering service and getting support for the podcast through subscriber platforms (Patreon etc)
๐ฒ. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ? Fairportโs Cropredy Convention - the best folk festival ever. Such a chill and friendly atmosphere and the level of musicianship is second-to-none.
๐ณ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด? Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden. The energy of the song is breathtaking, right from the start and the complexity of the guitar parts displays a level of virtuosity that is often overlooked by non-metal fans.
๐ด. ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐? The situation that comes to mind was when I was impersonating one of my lecturers at University and didn't notice that he was standing behind me, he having come into the lecture hall late.
๐ต. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐?
My proudest accomplishment is getting my PhD. I was quite late starting it (at age 43) and it took me three and a half years to finish. I think I am proudest of the fact that I invited the world's foremost steel metallurgist to be an examiner and he was satisfied that my work merited a PhD.
๐ญ๐ฌ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ?ย Jeff Lynne. I love everything he has done from ELO, to the Wilburys. He has produced songs for George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. It would be awesome to go on a musical journey, to find out how to tell the story we want to tell with our music and arrange killer tracks.
