Why can’t brothers in bands ever get along?
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

While Mark Ellen visits his Scottish estates, David Hepworth and Alex Gold keep the home fires burning with a wide-ranging conversation, taking in:

•⁠ ⁠why every band containing a pair of brothers seems to inevitably succumb to fraternal warfare 

•⁠ ⁠how Ed Sheeran found himself caught in the cross-fire between a multi-millionaire and a bunch of support acts keen not to get caught on the wrong side of a social media war

•⁠ ⁠the fine line that divides a British cheese from a motorway service area

•⁠ ⁠what are the best cases of “mailbox money” in show business?

•⁠ ⁠does anybody else think gigs finish too early?
