BBC Radio 4 - The Lach Chronicles, Series 1, Rock and Roll Nation

Lach reminisces and shares his thoughts on Jim Morrison, Batman and Tom Petty.

Back in Scotland, Lach reminisces about his influences and shares his thoughts on Jim Morrison, Batman and Tom Petty. From July 2013.

Lach was the King of Manhattan's East Village and host of the longest running open mic night in New York. He now lives in Scotland and finds himself back at square one, playing in a dive bar on the wrong side of Edinburgh.

His night, held in various venues around New York, was called the Antihoot. He played host to Suzanne Vega, Jeff Buckley and many others; he discovered and nurtured lots of talent including Beck, Regina Spektor and the Moldy Peaches - but nobody discovered him.

This week we find Lach reminiscing about his influences and he shares his thoughts on Jim Morrison, Batman and Tom Petty.
