Comics-inspired band “Blues Harvest” get a Podcast probing!

Blues Harvest

The latest episode of the Lakes International Comic Art Festival Podcast features a great chat with the comics-inspired band Blues Harvest, who will be playing at the festival this year.

Blues Harvest – fronted by comic book artist Nick Brokenshire – are a five-piece band that have built up a cult following through their diverse song choices from the world of movies, TV and a few guilty pleasures along the way.

With set highlights including music from Star Wars, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Guardians of the Galaxy and many more, Blues Harvest is the perfect band to celebrate the sci-fi, comics and fantasy genres.

These “nerd-rockers” have regularly been joined on stage by performers from the Star Wars franchise, including David W Collins (The Force Awakens), Stephen Costantino (Return of the Jedi), Jerome Blake (The Phantom Menace) and Laurie Goode (A New Hope).

The podcast team talk to band members Nick, Andy Lyth and Jess (Bass Windu)- and discuss Nick’s comic work, Andy’s Pop Up Puppet Cinema, what the band is all about and find out which band member knows the most about Star Wars. Don’t miss one of their numbers, either – “Obi Wan Kenobi”!

Reviewed are Gill Hatcher‘s The Beginners Guide to Being Outside and the football book Preston North End: The Rise of the Invincibles by Michael Barrett, who will be at the Festival (And there’s a look at the film Sharknado 5… as it’s so so bad).

Mike also offers a League of Extraordinary Gentleman 101 and Pete has a general ramble on his work and writing a comic.
