    Did Somebody Say...Ambient? Artist Focus: Episode 6: Papa M Live at ATP 2000

    Sister podcast to "Did Somebody Say...Ambient?" This version of the podcast is dedicated to one artist on each episode, bringing you closer to the music and the artist behind it. Episode 6 is a special featuring David Pajo, Alan Licht and Paul Oldham who were part of the Papa M touring band that played at the Mogwai curated All Tomorrow's Parties Festival during April 2000 in Camber Sands, UK. Lonetapes discovers a dictaphone cassette recording he made at that festival of the Papa M set, and invites the band to share their memories of ATP and that Papa M tour. Hear the gig as it was captured covertly on cassette and expect tales of drunk fans, nude journalists, theft prevention and more! Huge thanks to David Pajo, Alan Licht and Paul Oldham for helping make this episode happen. All voice notes and music use provided with express permission from the artists.
