Gareth sits down with former Beautiful South Saxophonist and current singer with The South, Gaz Birtles. The Leicester-born musical journeyman, who has also shared the stage and studio with Fun Boy Three, Boy George and Fun Lovin' Criminals among others, also talks about his own projects Yellowbelly and The Swinging Laurels, as well as how the music industry has changed drastically for everyone other than those artists and bands at the very top, the other roles he has held within the industry outside of being a musician, and much more.

To keep up with The South's tour dates and releases, like their Facebook page 'The South Band', or follow them on Twitter @thesouthuk.
