My guest mixer this week is Rob Barbato

Rob played bass in The Fall in 2006-07 as part of a lineup fondly remembered as 'The Dudes'. They were highly regarded as a live outfit, although they never recorded a studio album that did them justice - something that we discuss in the interview. We also talked about the fact that he was the only ever member of the group to be permitted by MES to have a beard!

Rob was kind enough to contribute to my Fall in Fives Radio Show a few years ago (his episode is here) and it was a real pleasure to reconnect with him. You can find his website here.
