Harvey Semple Joins Indie Tea Talk! Songwriting, Grunge Roots & DIY Studios!

Welcome to another captivating episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we’re joined by Harvey Semple, a York-based songwriter, producer, and creative whose musical path has taken him from basement band rehearsals to festival stages, community recording studios, and solo releases.

Dan Napper Joins Indie Tea Talk for an Honest and Soulful Conversation!

Welcome to another episode of Indie Tea Talk. Today we are joined by Dan Napper, a rising singer-songwriter whose blend of blues-inspired guitar work and heartfelt storytelling is quickly gaining attention across the UK.

Dan grew up in Harrogate where long car journeys filled with Queen, De La Soul, Hendrix, Robert Johnson, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe shaped his love of music from the very beginning. That early obsession with guitar eventually led him to Liverpool, where he discovered songwriting and found a new sense of authenticity and direction. Since then, Dan has sold out iconic venues including The Troubadour in London and The Cavern Club in Liverpool, shared his music with packed rooms, and built a growing audience that sings his lyrics back to him at shows.

🎤 How Dan moved from blues guitarist to full-time songwriter

🎸 The story behind his first song Nightfall and his upcoming release I’m Never Loving Again

🎶 Why authenticity changed everything for his confidence and his career
