Vernons Future, Past and Present

This week JB is joined by Simon, Andy, Hoops, Jon and Tom from the band Vernons Future. For only the second time on the podcast we have the full band which makes for some fun times. There is discussion about how the band initially formed back in the 1980s when they were known as The Vernons and how they recorded an album back then too. Later on the podcast, we hear about how the band got back together in 2015 and then went on to release the album ‘Aquaplaning’ in 2022. We hear some interesting stories from their time at college in Liverpool which is where the band formed where some of the current lineup met up. From supporting The Las and The Farm to seeing Blur play at University before they became well known. The band have a couple of gigs coming up on the 10th October at The Spice of Life and in November at the iconic Dublin Castle in London. They all give us an insight into inspirations, shared sounds, favourite songs, albums and more. We round up with some quickfire questions.
