GBA 173 Harv

In GBA 173 we get better acquainted with Harv. He talks about working in low paid jobs in the catering industry,how childhood bereavement and a religious upbringing have impacted on his life, how his political thinking and musical taste has developed and how class has influenced his thoughts on all these issues. Harv used to be the producer in Apples for Everyone and he has been Stand Up Tragedy's sound technician in residence since it started. He's really great at all things sound related and a wise and loyal friend.

Harv will be performing music up there too on 3rd, 12th and 15th. As promised in the episode I will put the track Harv produced and played drums on at the end of the show.
