Hello and welcome back to The Good Shizz… my name is Cait, I’m your host, and this week, take 4… an absolute epic... with Tom Donald.
I have known and have worked with Tom for a number of years. We first met back in 2016, I'd quit my full-time job in recruitment, and I was on a mission to work in music. Fast forward almost a decade, and we’re still working together. Safe to say, we’ve been through a hell of a lot.
Tom’s work as a musician is by no means a singular pursuit… A producer, musical director, coach, composer, film composer. When he’s not being compared to giants like Jarrett, you might find him playing a concert at the top of The Shard… or jamming with a coenobium of monks in the Scottish Highlands.
Tom is many things… to many people. He has played such a huge part in changing my relationship with music and over the years, and as the Head of School and founder of The London Contemporary School of Piano, I have personally witnessed him changing the musical relationships of hundreds, if not thousands of people all over the world.
He has an insatiable appetite for life, music, and business. I’ve rarely - if ever - seen him have an off day. He’s just a relentless problem solver, the kind of person who sees every mistake or failing as an opportunity to learn something.
For musicians like me… without leaders, risk-takers, and innovators like Tom, who knows where we’d be?
But luckily, that’s not the case.
I can’t wait for you to hear this episode. Here’s my conversation, with Tom Donald

Hello and welcome back to The Good Shizz Podcast, my name is Cait, and this week, episode 3, we’re in conversation with Amy Mayson.
Amy is an incredible guitarist, and singer-songwriter, and although London based now, hails all the way from Bulawayo, in Zimbabwe. I came across Amy’s music a good few years ago and from second one, was blown away. There is a quality in her voice that is so incredibly rare and distinct that when you hear it – there’s just no mistaking her for anyone else.
Her songs are real and raw and, in my opinion, regardless of your musical tastes, have that unique ability to make you feel and to move you in some way.
I loved this chat so much, so I won’t keep you from it any longer, here’s my conversation with Amy Mayson.

Hello and welcome back to The Good Shizz Podcast, my name is Cait, and this week, episode 2, we’re in conversation with producer, songwriter, and guitarist, Tom Hill.
Tom co-runs The Bookhouse Studios in South East London – working predominantly as a producer, recording and mix engineer, and he’s racked up an incredibly diverse range of clients over the last decade. Anything from laid back, acoustic singer songwriters who need support with building their tracks from the ground up, to hard core metal, punk and prog rock bands. I know happen to Tom personally, he’s so easy to work with and he’s got a manner about him that makes you feel completely at ease.
When he’s not in the studio working with other artists, Tom is the predominant writer, guitarist and 1/3 of a band called Muttering. If you don’t know who they are, I would highly recommend giving them a listen.
I won’t hold off any longer… here I am in conversation with Tom Hill.

This week’s episode, And our Good Shizz Debut… chats with Harry Phillips.
Harry is, without a doubt, one of the most talented musicians and songwriters I know. Anyone who has worked with him will know what I’m talking about. He’s the kind of person and presence, musically, that can make all the difference when it comes to putting a body of work together. And I’m lucky enough to speak from personal experience here.
Harry has been called to work with an impressive collection of artists over the years, both in studio and live performance environments. He’s also a member of one of my all-time favourite bands - Night Flight.
So, without further ado… here is my conversation with my pal, Harry Phillips.
