This episode is with Anna, a friend and work colleague of Michael Angell, my joint host on “You Made Me Listen To This.” What a brilliant insight into what music means to Anna — and believe me, it means a LOT! 🎶 Anna talks about growing up singing around the piano with her parents. Her dad was a huge jazz fan, while her mum leaned more towards the commercial side of popular music. Those early musical influences clearly stayed with her. As a teenager, Anna enjoyed going to see and listen to bands

From that day on, he was hooked…not just a fan, but a passionate follower of heavy metal and rock music. In this episode, Skid talks about seeing AC/DC with Bon Scott on lead vocals, witnessing Motörhead in their heyday, catching Guns N’ Roses at The Marquee in London back in 1
