Summary

It’s 1997. A young John Robins is studying for a GCSE in ‘Landlording’. His life is dominated by Queen, and provides the soundtrack to his school years. However, his life is about to be turned upside down with the release of Mogwai’s debut album Young Team. Post-rock is about to become John’s music of choice, and Mogwai will forever have a special place in his heart.

Flash forward to 2021. Landlord John, wearing the Mogwai T-shirt he’s had for over 20 years, is cleaning the bar at The Moon Under Water when he notices someone walking towards the pub. Through the mist comes a familiar face. It appears the stars have aligned, as the man walking towards him is none other than Mogwai guitarist, vocalist and founding member Stuart Braithwaite!

Stuart has toured the world during his time in Mogwai, and grew up in one of the UK’s greatest pub cities: Glasgow. He will certainly have some amazing pub stories to tell and we welcome him into The Moon Under Water with open arms, but let's just hope John is able to still pour pints despite his excitement.

Tickets for The Moon Under Water Live are on sale now! Throughout August and September we'll be inviting special guests to create their dream pub LIVE from a real pub (The George IV in Chiswick). Head over to moonunderpod.com for more info and to grab your tickets. The mystical realm awaits!
