I chat with Chris McCausland at Download Festival 2026 for a brilliant conversation about rock music, guitars, vinyl records and the dream of being a musician.
Chris shares stories about learning guitar, his favourite albums, discovering new bands at festivals and why music continues to play such an important role in his life.
The conversation covers everything from Nirvana Unplugged and Guns N' Roses to guitar collecting, songwriting, live music and the similarities between performing stand-up comedy and playing in front of a crowd. Funny, thoughtful and surprisingly insightful, this is one of my favourite conversations from Download Festival.
