Ep 42 Andy Marke from Fuzzed Up and Astromoon Records
Andy Marke runs Fuzzed Up and Astromoon Records as a joint venture with Ian McGlynn. He also hosts DJ nights, promotes Dublin gigs and presents a show on Near FM.
Himself and Ian have carved out their own psych/garage/Kraut rock/shoegaze infused niche and it's a top place to spend some time with an ace lineup of bands from Ireland and further afield (Canada, Mexico...). They also have a commitment to keeping music physical with regular limited edition vinyl and cassette releases.
Maybe me and Andy were separated at birth - we have alot in common as our chat reveals. What a delight to spend 45 minutes in the company of someone who is so passionate about what he does - and all in his spare time. Listen and be inspired.
