This episode of ‘The Fab Guy on a Bike’ is a high-octane celebration of the UK’s vibrant festival scene. DJ Moto brings listeners directly into the heart of the action with exclusive interviews recorded on the ground at Breaking Bands Festival and a full recap of his time at Call of the Wild. The show features a mix of hungry new talent like the Midlands two-piece Vazon and the Birmingham-based Red By Night, alongside established legends like Wolfsbane and the ever-theatrical Gypsy Pistoleros.
Moto doesn’t just play the music; he gets into the minds of the artists, discussing everything from the logistics of being a two-piece band to the creative process behind new albums like ‘Dark Fairy Tales.’ Between the interviews, Moto spins a carefully curated selection of hard rock, ranging from contemporary heavy hitters to absolute classics from Rainbow and Kansas. It’s a casual, authentic look at the rock community, filled with festival banter, gear talk, and plenty of ‘fuckin’ rock and roll.’
