GBA 63 Steve

Summary: In GBA 63 we get better acquainted with Steve. Steve was my best friend when I lived in Coventry, between the ages of 10 and 13. We talk about our shared history and catch up with who we are now we're 30. Games workshop, fantasy worlds, Stephen King's It style childhood adventures, getting into music, losing touch and then being brought back together by the Internet. This conversation is the prelude to an EPIC GBA Special that's coming out on Friday where I return to Coventry the city we grew up in. I tour the town with Steve. Both episodes are about that strange time of life: late childhood. The years before you are fully teen but when you are no longer a toddler. They are also about re-establishing and developing friendship. A friendship where we knew each other before we were fully formed. They are about the danger and the magic of being a child. And that strange nostalgic emotion that comes when you try and look back. We discuss stories that I talked about in GBA 1: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-1-dave Steve Plugs: His band at the time, The Sequins, who have now gone their separate ways: http://www.thesequins.co.uk/ UPDATE: Here is his new/old band: Late Starters: http://www.youtube.com/latestartersuk We also talk about my old band Apples for Everyone: http://www.myspace.com/applesforeveryone My previous podcast Four Days in a Room: http://www.fourdaysinaroom.co.uk/ And my current music project a Room Full of Friends.
