Summary

Peace be with you TSP listeners. It's a special Sunday release of the podcast. Last weekend we were at Kendal Calling festival. It was the Friday, before the entire site turned into brown shiny slime. We were set up in Tim Peaks diner along with a couple of hundred tightly packed pals. The extra security was in place and we all awaited the arrival of some real funk royalty. When Nile Rodgers rolled up, I don't think any of us could believe it was happening but we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with him and being regaled by his stories of Grace Jones, Sesame Street, guitar technique, getting sacked by Shakira and many others.You'll definitely know at least ten songs with Nile's fingerprints on em. He's written and produced for the likes of Madonna, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams, The B-52s, as well as his own incredible Chic project. The guy is an absolute boss and we're honoured to have him sit down with us. Big thanks to all those that made this happen at Kendal Calling and the illustrious question askers. This is episode 92 with Nile Rodgers! Get in touch...
