The Encore Club Christmas run continues with Episode 37 as Will is joined by Sophie Patrick and Claire Chittick from Australian indie band Betty Taylor for a funny, honest, and end of year conversation full of chaos, creativity, and genuine reflection. Sharing a mic and plenty of laughs, Sophie and Claire talk openly about what it is really like to be in a band together, from songwriting and creative disagreements to the deep friendship that keeps everything grounded when things get hectic.

Across the episode, the pair reflect on how Betty Taylor came together, the realities of building a band from the ground up in Australia, and how touring, travel, and constant movement can shape both the music and the people behind it. They discuss the balance between ambition and staying true to who they are, the pressure that can come with growth, and how learning to trust each other has been key to navigating the highs and lows of band life. There is plenty of humour along the way, with stories that capture the weird, wonderful, and occasionally unhinged moments that only happen when you are chasing gigs and writing songs together.

As always on The Encore Club, the conversation builds towards the band’s dream concert, where Sophie and Claire piece together their ideal lineup, venue, and encore moments. This opens up a wider chat about the shows that shaped them, the artists who inspired them to start playing music, and the gigs that reminded them why they fell in love with performing in the first place. It is thoughtful, ridiculous, and very on brand for a festive episode.

With relaxed Christmas energy and plenty of personality, Episode 37 is the perfect listen as The Encore Club counts down to its Christmas Special season finale. Whether you are already a fan of Betty Taylor or discovering them for the first time, this episode offers a real, unfiltered look at band life, creative growth, and staying excited about what comes next.
