If you’re a Glaswegian, you either have a brass neck or you know someone who does. On The Brass Neck Podcast, I’m reclaiming the phrase as the badge of honour it should be, sitting down each week with artists, grafters, and bold characters who’ve had the nerve to chase something bigger than themselves.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 2 - If The Guns Don’t Kill You The Sausages Will

From a mysterious figure created my over active teenage imagination to one of my oldest pals in the game…We’ve seen it aw!
