   17: Episode Sixteen: Roxanne De Bastion

   For the latest In the Spotlight podcast Bill Cummings is joined by Roxanne de Bastion, who recently embarked on a new era with her single, 'Simple Pleasures', an impish electro-pop bop for the end times. She says “’Simple Pleasures is a musing on our direction of travel as a species, walking the path from a human to an AI society and how we never seem to pay attention to the ‘man behind the curtain’ They talk her new single, AI and its implications for creatives, musicians and society following her new article "AI stole my Granddad" (https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/25/opinion-ai-stole-my-granddad-roxanne-de-bastion/). Plus the influence of Beck and St Vincent upon the more synth-pop songs she is recording now, indie sleaze, the charts, homogenised culture, working with Bernard Butler, how she navigates being a musician in 2026 and much more. 'Simple Pleasures' is Roxanne's first new solo material since her deeply personal last album, 2021’s You & Me, We Are The Same. Roxanne as she received widespread critical and public praise for her 2024 book, The Piano Player Of Budapest (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Piano-Player-of-Budapest/Roxanne-de-Bastion/9781639366873). Confronting a remarkable family history, and beautifully portraying how music defines people, place and offers hope in the very darkest of hours, the book arrived alongside de Bastion’s restored recordings of her late grandfather’s songs. Celebrating her emergence from vibrant writing and studio sessions, de Bastion also returns to the stage, setting up a special one-night-only showcase of new music alongside familiar fan favourites. Prior to the announcement of more live dates, she plays London’s Sebright Arms on Tue 15 September 2026. Tickets are on sale now via DICE (https://us.list-manage.com/UHsR2XRmEYN?e=83c322236c&c2id=f8318d882061c99f3fd7f9bfe9e4b65a). Produced by hand-picked collaborator, the Music Producers Guild Writer-Producer of the Year and double Grammy-nominated Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Picture Parlour, Jasmine.4.t, Nell Mescal), ‘Simple Pleasures‘ is, according to the press release, “a watershed moment before more promised ruptures in all expectations built around the songwriter over the last decade.” The intensity associated with those 10 eventful years of personal loss, responding to the Covid pandemic and unexpectedly being the custodian of her grandfather’s legacy as The Piano Player Of Budapest, falls away for fun, bigger choruses and a beat you can dance to. This, the first fruit of de Bastion’s ‘post-grief phase’, is just the beginning.

   16: Episode Fifteen; Sondre Lerche

   For the latest In the Spotlight podcast Bill Cummings is joined by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche who releases his new album Acrobats, out 21st August via PLZ / Virgin. They talk about Acrobats, Lerche's first full-length collection of entirely new music in over four years, which is an ambitious and open-hearted reflection on the tension between falling in love and living through a period of global unrest and unfathomable human suffering. They chat about the 'Love Is All' single and how songs on the album wrestle with the question: how do you write love songs in an increasingly dystopian world? How he thinks "falling in love feels more and more like an act of defiance.” They talk about how the album was inspired by Lerche witnessing Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 at the Oslo Opera House. Also working with Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas, the Stockholm Studio Orchestra, Norwegian Radio Orchestra and a cast of Norwegian jazz and classical musicians on the new record. Bill tells Lerche how he discovered his work in the early 2000s through his song 'Sleep on Needles' from a compilation CD made for him by one of his friends. Plus his 2001 debut album Faces Down, how he doesn't feel like he fitted in with the music scene of the 2000s. They touch on his acting, scoring films like Dan in Real Life, or starring as the love-lorn Christian in the Norwegian stage production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Plus they discuss his influences growing up including The Beatles, Burt Bacharach, XTC, Elvis Costello and Prefab Sprout, plus his love of ambient, disco music and the Pet Shop Boys. They also talk about his collaborations with both AURORA and Mary Lattimore on his 2022 double album, Avatars of Love.  He notes how he finds new AI tools for generating music sickening and how he hopes his music is a rejection of the whole AI machinery. 'Acrobats' physical pre-order is available as a webstore exclusive 2xLP gatefold 'Splendor' edition including recent EP 'Turning Up The Heat Again', a standard 1xLP edition on transparent red vinyl, and CD. Sondre Lerche will embark on an extensive headline tour in support of the new album, which will take him across the UK, Europe and the US.

It tells the stories of iconic gigs in Ireland through the voices of the people who were there—journalists, photographers, promoters, and more. The first episode  dives into Bob Marley's 1980 Dalymount Park gig, which nearly didn’t happen, and another revisits Nirvana opening for Sonic Youth to a half-empty Sir Henry’s in 1991.

(https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3tmQkT066y3TJs7HjhVAgT?si=3ff11d0f98e5410d) "Blending meticulous research with compelling storytelling, I Was There offers a deep dive into the energy and chaos of live music history. This podcast is a celebration of the shows that defined not just music but cultural movements, all through the uniquely Irish lens that ties these episodes together. It is also a reminder of the ever-growing disappearance of the spaces that made these moments possible, and the urgent need to cherish and protect the venues that remain."

It also represents a more personal dimension for chief lyricist Sox, as he muses on the ephemeral nature of living in London in your mid-late twenties. Originally starting off as Sox’s solo project back in 2017, Tugboat Captain has morphed over the last eight years into one of London’s most distinct bands, with a sprawling, romantic sound that draws on folk, classical music, indie pop and singer/songwriters like Scott Walker and the Divine Comedy. Now a fluctuating sextet, the rest of Tugboat Captain are comprised of Joshua Cobb (Bass & Trombone), Buddy Caderni (Keys & Bassoon), Georgia Mancey (Drums & Percussion), Sophia Bartlett (Violin & Keys) and Dougal James (Keys & Bass).
