My guest this month is multi-instrumentalist Oshín Morris from the band, Proof Reading Your Mind. A German musician based in Hamburg with Irish roots, his daytime job couldn’t be more different to his nightly musical endeavours. Working as a judge, Oshín often crosses paths with those suffering mental and physical trauma, which as he says is channeled into his music as a sort of processing for him to get through the heavier days. Forming the band around 2014, he joins Tammo Ballantyne on drums, Ben Christian on bass and second guitarist Cesar Osorio and after nearly 50 gigs together, they released their first album “Not Even Tryin” in January 2019, the first four tracks of that album feature in this episode. We talk about his background and musical journey with some interesting discoveries along the way. After we finished the interview we spoke for another hour or so about our mutual love of boxing and even managed to have a little jam on one of his many guitars.
