George Hill & Mike Wilshaw

This week, Geoff interviews George Hill of Beta Rays and Mike Wilshaw of The Four Pennies...

Time Out said of Beta Rays recently that they are "...setting London's Indie scene on fire with a new pop rock sound that is fresh and exciting! The songs teem with angular and emotive rock n’ roll moves and are literally seething with inventive, edgy sonic pop music. Plainly the sound of a band who know they’ve nailed it.”.

The Four Pennies were an English, 1960s pop group, most notable for their 1964 UK chart topping song, "Juliet". The group's name came after a meeting above the Blackburn music shop owned by Mary Reidy, the shop being situated on 'Penny Street' where it is still located today as "Reidy's Home of Music". The name was chosen as a more commercial alternative to 'The Lionel Morton Four'. The shop is still owned by the Reidy family.
