60 Minutes or less - Episode 36 - Barry Hyde (The Futureheads)
60 Minutes or less - A podcast from Birthday Cake For BreakfastShow Notes
Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 36, it's a real treat to have on total hero Barry Hyde, he of The Futureheads!
Having had fellow Future-head Ross Millard on for episode 23, it only made sense to interview Barry, particularly as in March 2025, Hyde released a new solo album in ’Miners’ Ballads’ (via Sirenspire Records).
A folk-rock-punk-classical album about the coal mining heritage of the North East of England, it features traditional collier lyrics and observes the dangers, difficulties and bravery that was a part of daily life for the miners.
We also spoke of his tribute EP to the late Ivor Cutler, the joy of working with his fellow Futureheads and the trials of making scotch eggs.
