I started The Rugged Revival because the music I wanted to hear - and the voices I wanted to hear from - just weren’t getting the platform they deserved here in the UK. So, I figured… if I can’t find it, I’ll build it!

What began as a simple idea has turned into a full-blown podcast, live session series, and a brilliant team of friends who care just as deeply about independent music as I do. We’re here to celebrate raw talent, amplify unheard voices, and have a damn good time doing it.

When I’m not chatting to artists or editing late into the night, you’ll find me spending time with my wife and kids, dishing out THE WORST Dad jokes, or doing my best to wind up Rugged Ronnie (it’s basically a full-time hobby now).

Let’s keep building this thing, because the right people always show up.
