Welcome to Episode 29 of our Local Music Podcast, where we sit down with Yazzmin Devoy, better known as Modern Dolly — one of the North West’s most exciting and authentic Dolly Parton tribute acts. Fully dressed as Dolly and performing with all the charm and wit of the country icon herself, Yazzmin kicks off the show in character, singing an incredible a cappella version of “Jolene.” In this episode, hosts Luke & Lee dive deep into the world of tribute acts — asking Yazzmin the big questions:   🎤 Why did she choose to become a Dolly Parton tribute artist? 🎭 What does it take to fully embody a music legend? 💄 How does she prepare to get into character and perform live? 🎶 What’s the difference between tribute act gigs and cover gigs — and how do prices compare?   Since launching Modern Dolly, Yazzmin has become one of the most in-demand Dolly Parton tributes in the UK, performing across the North West music scene and beyond. She even caught the attention of Susan Price (wife of Slade’s Noddy Holder) and appeared on TV at a book launch for “What Would Dolly Do?”, earning praise from Eamonn Holmes himself. Yazzmin also shares her dreams of taking Modern Dolly to the next level — with full band performances, bigger lighting, live guitar shows, and even international gigs on cruise ships and high-profile weddings. If you love local music, cover singers, creative performers, or the magic of Dolly Parton, this episode is a must-watch for all aspiring musicians and tribute artists. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE for more episodes just like this 🔴 MOBILE: https://to.mysocial.io/s/BcKAkrpB8 DESKTOP: https://www.youtube.com/@theonemoresongcast/featured?sub_confirmation=1   MERCH STORE | BUY A T-SHIRT - SUPPORT THE CHANNEL https://theonemoresongcast.bigcartel.com   🕘Timestamps Introducing Modern Dolly | 0:00 Why Dolly Parton? | 6:16 What It Takes To Be a Tribute Act | 8:27 Tribute Acts Are On The Rise | 16:03 Tv Appearance | 22:13 Tribute Act Ambitions | 26:08 Dolly Patron Interactive Quiz Game | 31:18 Bad Gig Experiences | 40:58 Pricing Work As A Tribute Act | 47:23 The Future As Modern Dolly | 57:11 FIND MODERN DOLLY | INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/modern.dolly/ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/modern.dolly/ Show Reel | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq7xyLrbSTY&t=121s 🎧 Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast 🎸 Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/ https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/ ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B | https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w   👁️ Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks! #musicpodcast #dollypartontributeact #tributeact #tributeactpodcast #localmusic

Join us for Episode 28 of our local music podcast as we sit down with Matt Joe Hall, frontman of the Lancashire indie band County Pilots. Known for blending retro 60’s pop influences with modern indie pop styles, County Pilots have carved out a unique sound that’s gaining attention across the UK local music scene. In this episode, Matt shares his journey from writing music as a child to forming County Pilots, a band celebrated for their tight vocal harmonies and captivating live performances. We discuss the band’s early singles, their biggest influences, and what it really takes to build a strong live sound. Matt opens up about working with producers, overcoming challenges, and how the band has evolved over the years to become the best version of themselves. We also dive into the importance of local music venues like The Continental and The Ferret in Preston, and why County Pilots believe connecting with audiences through unforgettable live shows matters more than chasing Spotify streams. With their music regularly featured on BBC Introducing Lancashire, the band continues to push forward with big goals for the future—including an album Matt hopes to one day share with his grandkids. Whether you’re an indie music fan, songwriter, aspiring musician, or local band supporter, this conversation is full of insight and inspiration.

Phil originally honed his graft as a grade 8 bassist, playing in various bands during his developmental rise. His hard work paid off when he joined hard rock band “Exit State.” From that point it was a whirlwind of highs and lows, as the band pushed to truly make it. With backing of the fans, Exit state pushed the world’s biggest bands in the music video charts, back when fan lead voting was in place. The crunch point came when Exit State were drafted in the final two bands to tour with Muse, a moment which changed their lives, for better or worse. We hope you enjoy EXCLUSIVE INSIGHTS into the fabrics of the band. Whilst giving us an open and honest insight into the music business, Phil is constantly evolving as a musician. After reforming as a solo artist after covid, his most recent album “Ruling Days” is a reflection on his decision to take to the local pub scene. Whilst adapting to the cover music, Phil has found inspiration in the more “poppy” tunes in his own writing. 🕘 Timestamps Introducing Phil Ireland | 0:00 What Does Music Mean To You? | 4:09 Influences Growing Up | 5:01 Getting Into Music/ First Gig | 8:38 Early Challenges | 21:28 Shepherds Ale House, Chorley | 30:00 Working With Labels | 30:30 Working With Producers | 41:25 Rock Sector Records/ Touring Abroad | 48:21 Defined By Band | 58:52 Music Videos | 59:54 The End Of Exit State | 1:09:12 Breaking Waves | 1:16:44 Solo Career | 1:24:42 theonemoresongcast | 1:28:33 Ruling Days Solo Album | 1:29:47 Production On Ruling Days/ Things Learned | 1:39:08 Music During Covid | 1:42:27 The Future | 1:51:40 Quick Fires | 1:54:36 LINKS | Phil Ireland Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/artist/7kA6GimQPcJke99TZirlIY?si=AtpsneRTTpy26RbZ3irPTA Exit State Music Videos CIRCLES | https://youtu.be/WtNBosJRnb8?si=YZHPfCbZjE-UUa_q LOST BEYOND BELIEF | https://youtu.be/UEZcDoExxXQ?si=mX8ctQjKBorpHBNi 🎧 Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-one-more-song-cast/id1674747094 SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5sssQH0xZORap60s7MaWyh?si=zPKjZeKgQHG8j92fGHZc3w SOCIALS | Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/TOMScast1 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theonemoresongcast/ Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@theonemoresongcast 🎸 Follow our gigs | Luke | https://www.facebook.com/lukebsings/ https://www.instagram.com/lukebofficialmusic/ Lee | https://www.facebook.com/definedbyband https://www.instagram.com/leeegertonacoustic/ ORIGINAL MUSIC From Our Hosts | LUKE B | https://open.spotify.com/artist/7jrkjbedqWCa1Uq6pZr0ol?si=7KeiMbEcQbqkCWs4gaYvhw DEFINED BY | https://open.spotify.com/artist/27x10BbXUxWhuoi6CVRRYA?si=HLteFoCKRrO6FHK-Vexs-w 👁️ Keep an eye out for episodes every 2-3 weeks!
