Mike and Les go back around 15 years after initially meeting while both working in the games industry in Brighton. Les sold Mike his first electric guitar and gave him his first introduction to the world of guitar playing, that guitar is still with Mike to this day. While conducting these interviews during the COVID-19 lockdown, it felt only natural to give Les a call!

We were honoured to catch up with guitarist Ben Ford over Skype during the COVID-19 lockdown. He kindly agreed to answer some questions, introduce himself and have a general natter with us to touch on his musical background, his guitars, gear, playing style, the forming of SkyQuaker, his future plans and some of the philosophies which underpin his creative approach, he even plays us some guitar!
