Willy Bish - CMAT

“We stepped onto the Pyramid Stage and realised… they were just people doing the same thing as us.”

If Amber from The Japanese House hadn't shut her fingers in a door, would Willy Bish be where he is now? 

Multi-instrumentalist Willy Bishop joins The Stage Left Podcast to share his journey from maths student to a deep dive into CMATs iconic performance on the Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage. 

We hear about his pivotal role in The Japanese House and Declan McKenna, including exploring Matty Healy and George Daniel's production techniques, Willie offers an honest look at touring, studio life, and what it really takes to succeed as a modern musician.

A practical, behind-the-scenes conversation covering creativity, chaos, and staying grounded in the music industry.

“A better performance comes when you stop chasing perfection and just accept what you’ve got.”
