Thekla Isolation Discs - The Slow Readers Club TID013

Episode 13 of the Thekla Isolation Discs Podcast sees Chris joined by Aaron Starkie – lead singer, pianist and founding member of The Slow Readers Club! Recorded back in peak lockdown when we couldn’t even leave the house for more than one hour, as well as selecting some top isolation tracks Aaron goes through the band’s journey from humble beginnings in the north west of England to eventually very impressively selling out the 3500 capacity Manchester Apollo. Plus – befriending the band James, getting trashed on tour in China, releasing an album in the middle of a global pandemic, having a city mayor amongst your fans and very nearly almost covering Come On Eileen.
