9-42 meets Atkin Guitars

The one where Ant & Alister banged on about Marillion.

Actually not just Marillion, they got quite excited about Richard Hawley as well.

Despite his youthful Clooney-esque (his description) good looks, Alister has been building guitars for well over 25 years.

Known mostly for acoustic instruments he pioneered models with aged finishes and has built guitars for a who's who of artists including the aforementioned Mr Hawley, Paul McCartney, Graham Coxon & Chris Difford.

We chatted about all the above, as well as his collaboration with the Buddy Holly Foundation and his ring binder full of cease & desist notices.

P.S before all the RH fans pile in the song that Alister was referring too is of course called Remorse Code not White Lines - apologies for the confusion - but to be fair that line is repeated as the refrain in the chorus!

About the Podcast

The Guitar Show Podcast
9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show, the UK's biggest annual guitar event.

I'm Jason, and when I am not co-hosting this podcast I am trying to organise the next Guitar Show. The other co-host is Ant, we've known each other for years and he's the fella that pressured me in to doing this.

Each episode we will endeavour to bring you the stories behind the gear, to talk to the artists, the influencers and the manufacturers that keep us playing and loving the guitar.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
