About this listen

In Episode 40, Tom Gregory joins Karl and Aidan in the pod lodge, and it becomes clear pretty quickly that he has covered more musical ground than most people manage in a lifetime. He talks us through a path that runs from Australia to Manchester and then on to Southampton, touching on Latin, funk, folk and a whole load of other styles along the way.

Tom also claims he has performed on more than 500 instruments. Naturally, we made him explain how on earth that works. He brought one of them with him too, the hang drum. It is a beautiful, hypnotic instrument, and Tom explains why it might be drifting into contraband territory in the not too distant future.

We chat about his musical upbringing and listen to some of the many recordings he has performed on.

You can check out Tom’s Christmas Album, visit Aidan’s website, and find out more about Karl’s band, Davey Jones’ Locker.
