It's probably easier to list off who Phil Palmer hasn't played with as a legendary session guitarist. He rivals Tom Jones for name dropping: Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, Paul McCartney and so many more. Phil is a simply outstanding musician with great stories to tell.

YouTuber, musician and supreme guitarist, Chris Buck is a close Andertons friend who now fronts alt-rock outfit Cardinal Black.

Ever wondered where the “Guns” in Guns N' Roses comes from?

Queens Of The Stone Age's long-time guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen might be one of the coolest, most intriguing guests we've hosted.

Platinum-selling one-person-band Tash Sultana is an extraordinary talent we simply had to get on for an episode of “The Captain Meets”.
