  • S10E3: John Fogerty talks to Gary and Guy about 'Legacy'
    Sep 20 2025

    This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we welcome a true legend to the show, John Fogerty.

    John reflects on his incredible career, writing songs that will forever be part of the soundtrack to our lives like 'Proud Mary', 'Fortunate Son', 'Up Around the Bend’, and many many more.

    Many of these have been recently re-recorded on a 20 track collection called 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years' which is out now.

    John talks about hearing The Stones for the first time, writing Proud Mary, where the name CCR came from and not appearing on the Woodstock soundtrack!

  • S10E1: The Blitz Club special with Boy George
    Sep 6 2025

    This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are back after the summer break and we head to the Design Museum in London. Opening in September is a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the iconic and influential Blitz - "the club that shaped the 80s". It was a hotbed of music, fashion, and culture in the late 70s and early 80s that helped influence the entire decade.

    We meet up with Boy George to talk about the club, the scene it shaped and its lasting impact, that is still felt today.

    The Design Museum exhibition on the Blitz Club opens on September 20th and runs until the spring of 2026.
