This week’s episode comes to you from a sunny garden in East London and features Musical Director and all round top bloke, Huw Evans.

Huw is currently Associate MD on hit West End ShowCome From Away.He chats to Seb and Verity about this production’s beginnings in Dublin, his onstage interactions (accordion in hand) and why he thinks it’s been so popular with audiences in the UK, US and Canada.

They discuss what the role of Associate MD entails and how he keeps cool and calm on first shows. Huw also chats about his time in Basel on theLion King‘Zebra Tour’, taking part in Crap Tap class at Mountview, working with male voice choirs and his mum’s appearance onOpportunity Knocks.....a wonderful 80’s throwback moment.

Huw talks about recently completing a level 2 counselling course and they discuss mental health issues within the music industry - an area that would benefit from more widespread support and recognition.

Towards the end of the podcast there is a brief moment of panic when there is concern Seb has ingested poppy seeds and might go into anaphylactic shock.....it all ends well and no epipen was required.

This episode is fuelled by Leyton’s ownGood Folkcoffee (link below). Enjoy!
