The Long Drive Home is a Podcast about the many ways in which a gig can go wrong, presented by Alpha Male Tea Party (Greg, Tom and Ben).
Being in a band is really cool and fun, right? Well, yeah, it is. But it's also absolutely crushing some times and we want to explore that because through tears and horror, there is laughter.

This week we're joined by Ben Murray, our good friend and front of house engineering extraordinaire to talk over some of his less enthralling experiences as a professional sound engineer. Many beans are spilt and subsequently stood on.
Ben is a brilliant engineer based in Liverpool and he's a director at Total Control Sound, a PA hire company he's built up with his brother John. Ben also occasionally gets the dubious honour of running front of house for us (when we can afford him) at our live shows.
We cover everything from broken PAs, boxes full of dead animals and also read out and respond to some of your tweets.
This is also the first one we've attempted from isolation during the great Coronavirus Lockdown of 2020, thanks to the magic of Zoom.
ENJOY.
