SPIRIT AND ROOTS EPISODE #13 w/ GERAINT WATKINS – NOW UP ON MIXCLOUD
My featured guest for the 13th episode of Spirit and Roots was of the UK’s finest songwriters, Geraint Watkins. Here he is performing his track, ‘Hold Back,’ for us live in the studio.
As well as hearing his fantastic songs, we discussed where his songs come from, influences on his music, and what it was like working with great UK artists such as Van Morrison, Gerry Rafferty and Peter Green.
