  • Matt Kent – Who author and photographer: Part One

    Matt Kent – Who author and photographer: Part One
    Feb 12 2025

    Matt Kent talks about releasing the first Naked Eye fanzine for 22 years, being behind the Who 60th anniversary commemorative stamps from Royal Mail, showing the band members a Track Records compilation that they didn’t know existed, why Quadrophenia will work as a ballet, his pride in co-organising the 1995 Who convention and the difficulties involved, his creativity thriving from working for Pete Townshend, being up close to the ideas behind Lifehouse becoming a reality, and why he walked out on his dream job.

    Plus: Paul looks at the recent gig announcements for 2025 and wonders what the potential line-up of the band could look like.

    The Fisher Protocol – Who-based YouTube channel
    Jan 29 2025

    Ethan Fisher and Bets Crockett from The Fisher Protocol talk about the origins of their channel, why a video about ‘Slip Kid’ is their most popular, Keith Moon's capability of being a disciplined drummer, why the band had to carry on after Keith’s death, what sort of live Who show they want to see in 2025, and why making mistakes on stage is a good thing.

    Plus: Paul puts forward a thought experiment around The Who of the 1980s and considers whether they would have sounded all that different with Keith on drums instead of Kenney Jones.

    Tony Fletcher – author, musician and Keith Moon biographer
    Jan 15 2025
    Tony Fletcher talks about his work with the Rock Academy and the challenge of directing a show dedicated to The Who, recording with his band The Dear Boys, what compelled him to write a Keith Moon biography, trying to separate the myths from the truth, the effect the book had on his well-being, the most surprising thing he learnt while writing the book, his experiences of interviewing Oliver Reed and John Entwistle, and where he ranks Dear Boy/Moon amongst his other work. Plus: on the 60th anniversary of The Who’s first single ‘I Can’t Explain’ being released in the UK, Paul looks at how the band’s debut immediately established their identity and managed to stay relevant throughout the next six decades.
