The Not So Twee Show
22 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago -A change in the name. Never did like the name I'd given it. Same mixture of what is in the description, new artwork to follow. So, this podcast is about the music that inspires me. Along the way I'd like to get to hear other peoples music and play it, this includes new bands etc. I am mostly into alternative, rock and experimental music but also like some classical, blues and jazz. Recently I've been looking into the history of bands and their influences and how they've influenced other scenes.Follow me on Twitter on @AlunPodcast.
