Davy Henderson (ex-Fire Engines/Win Pt 2) - 'People in the music business in the 80s were like politicians today - clueless'

<p>As anecdote-tellers go, few can match Davy Henderson. This week’s podcast picks up where we left off last time with the Scottish cult hero talking about his band <em><strong>Win</strong></em>, which he formed after splitting Edinburgh-based act <em><strong>Fire Engines</strong></em>. </p><p>If you heard the first part, you’ll know Davy called time on Fire Engines after he accepted a publishing deal – with an advance of £2,000 – from Pop:Aural label boss Bob Last. As Davy candidly explained in last week’s interview, the split – and the way he handled it at the time – remains one of his major regrets.</p><p>What I enjoyed about interviewing Davy is he offers a fascinating insight into the mind of a songwriter in a way that many are unable to articulate (at one point in Pt 2, in an attempt to explain why he loves music and the art of songwriting he flip flops between the genius of <em><strong>Miles Davis</strong></em> and – oh yes! – the wigs of <em><strong>Carl Perkins</strong></em>). </p><p>Fascinating stuff. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.</p><p>Don't forget you can sign up for the Scotpop newsletter on ⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://scotpop.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> - featuring extended shownotes, behind the scenes info, Scottish music news stories and the best new bands.</p><p>For the latest news on the podcast and music updates, make sure to follow Scotpop on:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/allanjglen/?hl=e" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/allan-glen-1228496b/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615843776347565" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href=" https://x.com/allanglen1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@scotpoppodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a></p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@scotpoppodcast</p><p>If you have any queries about sponsorship opportunities, you can email me at scotpoppodcast@gmail.com. </p>
