Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt continue to tour the UK this week with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets – so here is a ‘Best Of’ episode that features some of our favourite guests who are also on tour this year. Get tickets from the artists website. On the show we hear from Neil Finn from Crowded House – who play the Isle of Wight Festival this summer and have a brilliant new album out called Gravity Stairs. Brian Johnson from AC/DC remains one of our all-time most popular episodes – and the band are touring around European stadiums this summer. We also hear from our pal Nick Mason, from Steven Van Zandt on his life with Bruce Springsteen and our friend Simon Le Bon who will be headlining Latitude Festival this summer with Duran Duran.

For anyone who’s ever wondered what really went on after the arena lights went down or before the tape started rolling, there’s Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt. This isn't a history lesson; it's a backstage pass handed to you by two blokes who were actually there. Gary, of Spandau Ballet fame, isn't just the voice behind 'True'-he lived the whirlwind of writing and performing those anthems. Guy Pratt’s bass lines have underpinned tracks for icons from Pink Floyd to Madonna, giving him a unique view from the studio floor and the tour bus. Together, they host conversations that feel more like a late-night chat in a lock-up than a formal interview. The podcast thrives on the specifics: the forgotten detail that changed a song, the chaotic tour moment that never made the biography, the unvarnished truth about collaboration and conflict in making classic rock. Each episode pulls back the curtain with artists, producers, and insiders who crafted the soundtrack to an era, sharing stories that are sometimes hilarious, often surprising, and always genuine. It’s for those who love the music but crave the real, unfiltered narrative behind it. Listening feels like you’ve pulled up a chair in a pub corner with the only people who can tell these tales, because they were in the room when it happened.
