  • Spice Girls musical director Simon Ellis
    2022/10/26

    We couldn't do a 90's special without talking about the Spice Girls, so it's only right we speak to their musical director Simon Ellis. Simon was the guy responsible for re-writing the music for all their tours and blames having 'too much fun' for his hazy memories of the time.

    He did the same role with Britney Spears and tells us about working with her both before and during the conservatorship.

    Outside of MD'ing, Simon's a songwriter with many Top 10 tracks in his catalogue. If you like S Club 7, you owe Simon a big thanks because he wrote "Don't Stop Movin'" and "Never Had a Dream Come True".

  • Choreographer Teresa Toogie Barcelo
    2022/10/12

    This week we're joined by choreographer - Teresa Barcelo - or “Toogie” as she's often known. She's danced with a whole host of stars including Sean Paul, Dua Lipa and Harry Styles, where she quite literally instructed a whole load of dancers to 'shove melon in Harry's mouth'. Toogie started out as a backing dancer working alongside Sean Paul, and Sean Kingston. Since then she's gone onto choreograph Dua Lipa, Miguel and Alicia Keys - working towards music videos, world tours and award show performances. In the chat we discuss her approach to choreography, an approach that saw her named as one of Billboards most influential choreographers, as well as the work she did with Dua to own the quote un-quote, lazy dance.

  • Hollywood photographer Randall Slavin
    2022/10/05

    Since picking up a camera 22 years ago, Randall has captured Hollywood’s finest. As an aspiring actor himself, he started doing headshots for fellow up and coming actors that went onto become household names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando bloom and Reese Witherspoon. Headshots aside, in recent years he’s become known for his work at 90's house parties, in a pre-instagram world, it was Randall who documented Hollywood nights out. In our chat, we talk about social media being the demise of wild Hollywood parties. How he was intimated when shooting Bill Clinton, and how we’re ditching extreme airbrushing for something more 'authentic'…

  • Amy Winehouse's stylist Naomi Parry
    2022/09/28

    Think about the stars of the 00's and Amy Winehouse immediately comes to mind. This week, we interview Naomi Parry, Amy's fashion stylist. Naomi was in her late teens when her mate Amy asked if she’d be interested in styling her. That was 2006, the year Amy released Back to Black.

    The next 6 years were a whirlwind of world tours, festivals and music videos. Naomi was there for the good times; and the times of turmoil too. In the pod, we chat about the outfits Naomi designed for Amy, and tragically never got to wear. We also speak Amy’s style; a style that in many ways still influences what we wear now, as well as hear all about the mad backstage moments that often meant Amy was late to stage.

    2022/08/31

    Our guest this week is the incredible Julianne Kaye. Cast your minds back to 1999, when a little known pop star called Britney Spears was starting her career.

Remember that iconic double denim red carpet moment for Britney and Justin? That was Jules’ doing, and it took just twenty minutes. Make up aside, we talk about Britney’s conservatorship and chat about the whole host of other celebrities she’s done glam for, including Beyonce, Mariah and the Hadid’s. Enjoy.
