Podcast: The Partisan Contingent FOCUS Wales Special

 

Just when you thought it was safe to venture into the world again with reckless abandon, nursing a sore head and sense of self worth, it's time for another episode of our Award-avoiding podcast The Partisan Contingent!

It's episode 10 and it's a FOCUS Wales 2025 special, called I Play The Bumhole* - listen below with access to a toilet 100% necessary. This year was the festivals' 15th anniversary and the biggest and best yet! Take a listen at the link below

* Yes, there is a reason it's called that, you'll just have to listen to the damn thing won't you lad?

I take you extensively through NNWNF's three days at one of the premium showcase festivals the UK has to offer. The bands and artists we saw, we met wondering through the streets of Wrexham and in the case of some of them, had drunkenly recorded and - as a result - heavily edited chats with. 

Interviews in this episode come from Andy Falkous from mclusky, Emmi from Baby Brave, Martha O'Brien, Diary and Sustinere.  Some of them are even quite entertaining, PROMISE.
