Talk and tones with the Blur & The Waeve leg-end!
Welcome to the show. It is our distinct and marvellous pleasure to welcome the wonderful Graham Coxon to Schwangri-La. It’s Graham’s second appearance on the show. Since the first time - six years ago - there's been the small matter of British music legends Blur reforming, and of course the birth of a new band, The Waeve, with Rose Elinor Dougall.
In this interview we catch up on all of that, alongside a listen to Graham’s latest pedalboard, put together by Dan. Splendid noise and inspirational enlightenment awaits…
Enjoy the show!
