Multi National, Multi Skilled


This week the Drewling Samantics boys happened to be recording on a rather significant day, and a little word play hints at just that… but no spoilers here - all is revealed in the episode! And that is far from being the limit of the excitement in today’s show, as the chaps are also joined by yet another superb guest!

Fredrick “Freddie” Brandes has only just returned from a visit to Cannes film festival, but that fortunately didn’t stop him taking time out from his very busy schedule (or away from packing to move house!) to share some experiences, stories, anecdotes, and much more with Drew and Sam. Freddie is a knowledge junkie, always eager and able to learn new skills and explore fresh avenues to further his performance journey. Indeed, he has physically covered more ground than most, and having German and Welsh parentage perhaps helped inspire his travelling to, living in, and studying in numerous nations including Germany, Scotland and England to name but a few. Starting out initially training in opera, he branched out to musical theatre, but he didn’t stop there and also plies his trade as an actor, musician, composer, conductor, and producer with projects in the pipeline - just a few sills to speak of then!

So if all that has you intrigued, the next step is simple - dive right in and fight out more about this enormously talented chap. Oh, and as if that wasn’t tempting enough there’s even a special treat at the end to experience too! Wow, what an episode!

At the Tap of their Game


An illness has targeted one half of our podcasting pair, but did that stop this week’s recording? Absolutely not! Drewling Samantics remains resilient, and a mere virus can’t halt the boys on their quest to bring entertaining content to the masses! Inadvertently though, being temporarily resigned to watching daytime TV in bed has helped inspire this episode’s subject matter it would seem. Every cloud, as they say!

Some people are particularly accomplished in specific aspects of their craft beyond all others, dedicating their whole energies to being the very best in that specialised field. And while that is not unique to the entertainment industry (far from it) the performance world calls upon many abilities so being more versed in some over others makes a lot of sense. Dancers and singers in certain disciplines such as opera or ballet, or, as becomes a focal point of today’s show, Irish dancing, become extremely skilled, and their whole career then reflects that dedication and remarkable talent as they seek to reach perfection.

No matter how gifted a person may be, everyone can think of a couple of things they wish they could be better at, or would have enjoyed pursuing further, and that is equally true for our dynamic duo. But what exactly could those things be? Well you’ll just have to join them now to find out more!

Tween Sensation


It could be said that every actor or performer takes some form of risk when working in the industry or has “skin in the game” to use modern parlance. Well, that is certainly true of this week’s guest, and in more ways than one!

Colleen Daley is a truly multi-talented actor and has certainly embodied the aforementioned phrase (no spoilers here though!) Early on her passion for performing took her to drama school, a highly successful time for her, and then she ventured out in to the big wide world of the profession, where she seized the opportunity to hone her skills further.

Colleen has taken part in in straight plays, musicals, TV shows and commercials, but a series of fortunate events led from a theatrical job to a wonderful opportunity in children’s television. She describes how four years of her professional life was spent becoming a voice beloved by thousands of children - not only in the UK but all across the globe including places like France, Spain, Italy, Canada, Singapore, Australia and may more. And it wasn’t just the on TV, live shows and even albums had the pleasure of showcasing Colleen’s talents as well!

Safe to say all that is more than enough to make anyone intrigued, so join, Drew, Sam and Colleen for another fabulous Drewling Samantics episode, where the boys literally get under the skin with behind-the-scenes detail!
