Episode #39 with Baz from The Fratellis

In Episode 39 Derek is joined by The Fratellis bassist Baz to talk all things about the Glasgow band. Baz tells some amazing stories from throughout the years with the band. From the early days of meeting through music shop adverts, their first radio spin with Jim Gellatly playing of Creeping Up The Backstairs to hitting the heights and having worldwide success. We talk about some of the memories that will last forever like Tops of the Pops, Jools Holland, on-stage with Roger Daltrey at the Royal Albert Hall, the Brits Awards and subsequent afterparty with Oasis. Baz talks about touring and the early albums before taking a 5 year break then reuniting and continuing to do it all over again to the present day. He is forever grateful for the support they receive the world over, being able to play to thousands in America, Japan and more. Chelsea Dagger is a song that is instantly recognisable and the reach of that single is incredible. It is played at Scotland's National Stadium at every football fixture and Baz tells us how the Chicago Blackhawks have adopted it as their official anthem.
