The Podcast is back after a short break following Russ’s successful UK tour in early 2022 and his guest appearance at the 02 Shepherds Bush Empire supporting Rick Wakeman. Ian and Sven speak with David and The Duchess from “Space Elevator”, the band that were set to support Russ on his German tour that was cancelled two days before commencement thanks to Covid. Hear tracks from the excellent new Space Elevator album “Persona Non Grata” as well as soundbites from their previous two releases and enjoy an insight into how these talented musicians made their journey to becoming professional musicians. “How do people make a living as a musician if they’re not in Queen or something?" David Young when contemplating his decision to become a professional musician. “We are not just going to take over the world, we want to get beyond the world’s atmosphere and go up in a Space Elevator…..we just wanted to be larger then life I guess” The Duchess tells us about choosing the name for the band.
