The band talk in depth about touring, Fantasy Football, ‘smashing up the [local] vinyl shops’ , their first ever gig, health and safety on the road, why they love touring, recording new album with Sigh No More producer Markus Dravs… and so much more.

Lots of laughter in this one and a nice insight into how Babel came to be. Listen again here (interview starts around 1:32:00).
