Catch Up With: Ryan McMullan
Ryan’s masterful songwriting has earned him much acclaim in recent years. His ability to create heartfelt and evocative songs combined with his astonishing voice is winning him new fans all the time. His new EP ‘Ruthless Cupid’ has become an essential listen for the IAH team during lockdown, so we were keen to chat with Ryan about his songwriting craft and his approach to live shows.
Catch Up With: Tender
Ahead of their Islington Assembly Hall headline show, we caught up with electronic duo Tender. With two LPs and over 150 million streams under their belt, James Cullen and Dan Cobb are committed to connecting with their audience further with a more real-time approach. We chatted about their pre-show rituals, lockdown life in the UK and what we can expect from their forthcoming releases.
Catch Up With: Rationale
Ever since his outstanding show with us last year we’ve kept in touch with Rationale, whose powerful voice has attracted fans wherever it is heard. While we are all under lockdown, we were lucky enough to sit down with him (virtually) to get some insight into his work, his influences and, most importantly, his love of scones.
