Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for our 31st episode, we keep it local with our guest, multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon a.k.a. Dilettante.
Known for her work with BC Camplight’s band, Pidgeon is also the brainchild and leader of art-rock collective Dilettante, putting out their debut album ‘Tantrum’ in late 2022 after a run of early singles.
This year saw the release of the hotly tipped follow up from Dilettante, new album ‘Life Of The Party’ arriving in late January, the first totally self-produced Dilettante record, said by Pidgeon to be her most personal one yet.
We caught up with Pidgeon over Zoom ahead of the release of the record, catching Francesca moments after she arrived home having cycled back from roller derby practice. Talk naturally turned almost immediately to roller derby, as well as the ‘Cha Cha Slide’, ‘Twin Peaks’ and the film ‘Poor Things’. We did still find time to talk about the new record and the creative process, as well as picking up odd jobs whilst working as a full time musician. Heads up - there’s a few audio issues on this one, but we powered on through.
