    Guy is on his way to LA on tour with David Gilmour and Gary is enjoying a little break this week, so we’ve compiled a few of our favourite ‘Legendary’ guests for a special ‘Best Of’ this week.

    With the new Bruce Springsteen film ‘Road Diary’ coming out this week on Disney +, we hear from his right-hand man Steven Van Zandt. Plus, newly inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Peter Frampton talks to Guy and Gary about his incredible live album ‘Frampton Comes Alive’. Also, on the podcast this week, it’s Alice Cooper and one of our most popular episodes ever with Mick Fleetwood.

    This week on the podcast we welcome the mighty Norman Cook to Rockonteurs. Norman is a multi-talented artist, producer, and world-famous DJ who started out as a bass player in the Housemartins. In this fascinating conversation with Guy and Gary he discusses how a certain Spandau Ballet were a huge catalyst in his early love of music and how that career evolved from being in a band to becoming the biggest DJ in the world. We dive into the world of DJ’ing, music videos and beach parties! Norman is a Grammy Award, 9 x MTV Video Music Award, Brit, and Tony Award winning artist. He’s also just the biggest music fan, as you’ll hear.
