Track One Side One Podcast Episode 9 - Wojtek Godzisz (Symposium, Bjorn Again, Prog Professor)

Track One Side One Podcast

Welcome one and all to the Track One Side One Podcast! This weeks guest is a massive one for me, in regards to musical influences in my formative years. Wojtek was the bassist and primary songwriter in Symposium, who for my money, were the best live band of the whole Britrock era in the late 90s. From playing Reading Festival 3 years running, to supporting Metallica, magazine covers across all of the rock and indie press, to performing on TFI Friday and Top Of The Pops, they did it all, backed up with an arsenal of total bangers like 'Farewell To Twilight', 'The Answer To Why I Hate You' and 'Disappear'. Being in my late teens, It was the perfect soundtrack to late nights and loud times. Woj has travelled the world playing music post Symposium too in Bjorn Again and also released his 2nd solo album in 2016. This is a truly wonderful chat, with LOT'S of Prog nattering from Mansun to Maiden to King Crimson, onto how the Batman soundtrack may well be Princes most under rated lp. I was truly humbled to have him on for a virtual chinwag and one of my musical heroes has been chalked off the dream guest list for the podcast. If anyone knows how to contact Cormac Battle from Kerbdog, please let me know!!
