Steve Cradock: Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller & the Music We Inherit
47:57•0 views
Steve Cradock joins Steve Blame to explore the music, people and family relationships behind his life with Ocean Colour Scene.
From playing working men’s clubs while still at school to finding the band’s sound and recording Moseley Shoals, Steve looks back on the experiences behind the records. He shares the unexpected beginnings of “The Riverboat Song” riff, meeting his musical hero Paul Weller, and watching Oasis change the country.
At the heart of our conversation is family: the support he received from his father, the music he grew up with, and what it means to offer that encouragement to his own son.
We also discuss a question facing established bands: do audiences really want new music?
