In this week's episode of Clang: The Podcast, hosts Smiley and Pete sit down with the multi-talented Billy Reeves. Known for co-founding The Audience with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Billy's career has spanned music, radio production, and football commentary—often mixing the worlds of pop and pitchside chat with his unique humor.
Join the trio as they dive into Billy's life, starting with his undying loyalty to Brentford FC, the club he’s followed from local obscurity to Premier League pride. Billy reminisces about the honour of commentating for Brentford, even sharing behind-the-scenes tales like the time he raced back from a “comfort break” only to miss a legendary Rudiger goal at Stamford Bridge.
Of course, no podcast with Billy would be complete without music talk. Hear how a chance meeting with Sophie Ellis-Bextor in a DJ booth sparked the birth of The Audience, leading to mad gigs, brushes with fame (and a close call with Kylie Minogue), and the ups and downs of band life in the ’90s. From producing for Gary Crowley at BBC Radio London to interviewing icons like Amy Winehouse and sharing memories of Barbara Windsor, Billy’s tales from behind the mic are as lively as they are legendary.
The episode ends with a hilarious game of “who’s in your contacts?” with names like Thomas Frank, Dale Winton, and, surprisingly, Prince Edward.
Don’t miss out on this rollicking conversation that balances the glamour of the music world with Billy’s love for the beautiful game and the quirkiness of his celebrity encounters.
