Episode 2 – Neil Peart

In this episode, we are backstage at the infamous "coo shed" that is Ingliston Show Ground on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Scotland.

Legendary Scottish rock DJ, Tom Russell, was a wee bit nervous as he sat down with one of rock's greatest drummers and storytellers, the enigmatic Neil Peart of Canadian prog rockers, Rush.

The band had just finished playing, and it's fair to say that Neil was not impressed by the venue's sound or the layout for the fans. What follows is a fascinating discussion about touring, venue choice and the rigours of being in one of the world's biggest touring acts.

The sound quality of this interview is a bit muddy at times, but please bear with us as it improves as Tom and Neil continue the discussion.

A rare treat for Rush and music fans, and we think, despite his nerves, Tom comes out of this as an excellent interviewer.

So turn it up. Let's go backstage.

Tom, Andy and Scott
