Mick and the PhatMan Talking Music
Join Mick and Jeff as they talk about artists, albums and music genres with passion that comes from personal connection. They’ve seen artists in concert at venues that don’t even exist today, bought albums when they were released on vinyl and, in some cases, met the artists.
Sometimes they love the artist or music they're talking about. Sometimes they don’t. But, without fail, you'll always hear something you didn’t know.

Mick and Jeff are back for a new season!
The music world is focussed on the hit, the chart-topper, the NUMBER ONE! But simply getting onto the charts signifies a certain amount of commercial success, doesn’t it? We kick off with a look at some of the many songs that didn’t make it to the top of the charts, and see if they got different results in either the UK, US or Australia.
Jeff brings us up to speed with some news about rock personalities.
The year’s first “Album to Listen to Before You Die” is “Hypnotised” by The Undertones. We have a listen and wonder “Why”?
