Hello and welcome to episode 163 of the ACPG Podcast.

This week Ben is back at the Cluny with Beans on Toast (AKA Jay).

They talk pre gig, post sound check about his life in music, songwriting, touring, festivals, community, and making friends with friend of the show Frank Turner.

Since 2005, Beans on Toast has written simple songs about complicated subjects. Tackling the big issues of the day but doing so with his feet firmly on the ground, he’s become a people’s champ of the modern folk scene and amassed a huge back catalogue of songs in the process.

An unrepentant optimist whose songs celebrate all that is wonderful about the human spirit, his live shows are similarly uplifting and have taken him from SOLD OUT headline shows in the UK to the stages of major international festivals across the globe.

Thank you to Jay and James and we hope you enjoyed this episode.

See you next week with Chris Difford of Squeeze. Holy smokes, it's big one.
