My guest this week is none other than founder member of The Fall Martin Bramah.
Martin very kindly took some time out from preparing for House Of All's upcoming tour (see the link below) to share and talk about a mix he put together for me.
Amongst other highlights, he used the word 'sexy' more often than I'd anticipated...

House of All tour dates March 2025
N.B. The sound quality on this one isn't quite up to scratch as there was a bit of a mic issue. There was also a little bit of a time delay so we occasionally talk over each other. I've done my best to tidy it up in the edit, but apologies if it impacts on your listening experience!
