This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are delighted to welcome a true legend to the show. Musician, singer and songwriter Graham Nash.

It’s impossible to understate his impact on the music we love and the influence he has had on us and so many others. We could do a whole episode on his time with The Hollies, let alone Crosby, Stills and Nash and another on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

With tales that stretch from Manchester to Laurel Canyon, from Mama Cass to Joni Mitchell, from David Gilmour to Graham Gouldman. This is a special one.

Graham is touring the UK in October and you can find out more at: www.grahamnash.com/tour
