I travelled up to Belfast on Friday for the Elder Druid record launch and organised to meet Pete Clarke owner of Grindscene Records and singer of Strangle Wire the next day. The venue for the Podcast was the Hampton on Hilton Belfast, though funnily enough I never knew there was two Hiltons and of course Pete was at the other one. It sums up his character that when I realised my error after waiting fifteen minutes on his own, he didn't complain but just laughed and made his way down to where I was. The Northern Ireland Metal community enjoys massive respect from us all and to have Pete share his stories and insights was really great. Growing up in his early teens listening to and being involved metal bands, Pete is another fine example of a guy that dedicated his life to making his mark in the Metal Scene. Thanks for supporting the show and kindly leave a review if you enjoyed the Podcast. Be sure to check out Pete’s band Strangle Wire and Grindscene Records.
