14. The Premises
Something a little different for Episode 2, Season 2 of If These Walls Could Talk ... We went studio-side as opposed to a music venue. And what a joy it was to be joined by a man who played in a band with David Bowie, co-founded the newspaper The Voice, wrote Too Close To Heaven (a seminal history of gospel music), and as CEO and owner of the Premises Studio has guided the space through an ever changing socio-political and economic landscape - firmly establishing it as one of London's most cherished working studios and multi-purpose artistic spaces. Join us as we discuss Nina Simone, Blur's hidden jazz chops, and Pete Doherty's mice, interwoven with the story of a humble gentleman who has lived an extraordinary life. Ladies & Gentlemen - Welcome to The Premises Studio with its owner Mr. Viv Broughton! Hosted by Jeremy Newton, produced by Greg Moore. Follow us on @ifthesewallscouldtalk_podcast and dlmdd.com.

13. Royal Vauxhall Tavern
As season 2 of the podcast begins - we delve into the history, heart, and sheer fabulousness of one of London’s most iconic queer venues ... A space that since its doors opened in the 1860s, has stood proudly at the intersection of resilience, rebellion, and celebration. It’s a place where drag legends have been born, where music and laughter has echoed through generations, and where the LGBTQ+ community has always found refuge and joy - even in the toughest times. From its legendary performances during the AIDS crisis, when the venue became a lifeline for so many, to the unforgettable stories of artists like Lily Savage lighting up the stage, it's not just a venue - it’s a living monument to queer history and culture. We are blessed in the company of the man who has done so much help carry that legacy forward - Mr James Lindsay, CEO and Managing Director of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, a venue which under his leadership continues to evolve while staying true to its roots: as a vibrant, inclusive space that celebrates diversity, creativity, and community spirit. Ladies & Gentlemen - Welcome to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern! Hosted by Jeremy Newton, produced by Greg Moore. Follow us on @ifthesewallscouldtalk_podcast and dlmdd.com (www.dlmdd.com).

To conclude Season 1 of If These Walls Could Talk - We could not have a more fitting venue... Unquestionably, one of the world's most prestigious and iconic buildings.

A space that has hosted the likes of Wagner, Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Quincy Jones, Pavarotti, Frank Sinatra, to name a few. And the countless men and women who have changed the course of history, names such as Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, Emmeline Pankhurst and Stephen Hawking.

Welcome to 'If These Walls Could Talk', a podcast by DLMDD delving into the beating heart of London's legendary live music venues. Our hope is to showcase and celebrate London's spaces and places and bring to life the narrative, the personalities and the anecdotes that have contributed to a venue's legend from those who have lived and breathed it. In contrast to our first episode that celebrated over 60 years of Ronnie Scott's, today we delve into a space that although established in 2016 has quickly cemented itself as one of London's most cherished venues and is synonymous with audio quality and was built upon a deep love of music and the culture that surrounds it. Ladies and gentleman, Welcome to Spiritland! We were lucky enough to be joined by sound engineer, radio producer and founder of Spiritland Mr Paul Noble to discuss his journey with the venue, building the brand, the challenges and triumphs of the last 8 years, Japan as a source of inspiration, audio quality and much much more!
