Fantastival Podcast - #167 Kenny Harkis (Brasil / The Santos Connection)

It’s time for another Fantastival Podcast with #167 as this week Steve is joined by the man behind The Santos Connection, the one and only, Mr Kenny Harkis. Chatting with Kenny was just like chatting to an old friend as we have a great chat with Kenny taking us through his recollection of getting his first guitar and disbelief that he was playing the same tunes as he was used to hearing, the story of his band Brasil, then onto his next project The Santos Connection, the story behind the name, the idea behind the video covers which are well worth checking out on twitter, his releases to date, being involved in the brilliant ‘Brits & Pieces Vol 4’ compilation earlier this year and of course Mr Harkis gets the honour of collating his Fantasy Festival lineup choosing only 5 acts (which does have a cheeky twist, but how could we say no) and an encore for them all to play together at the end in an episode which we immensely enjoyed, and you will aswell. After you’ve finished the episode, give a listen to Kenny’s Spotify Playlist of acts chosen for his Fantasy Festival lineup: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1bh83xLJiIPY34mquDHrTy?si=as_c90ejShOdVTwQQqkAZA&pi=e-ljqDGUALQHSp And then check out The Santos Connection Artist Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3XsJqnILi2ORbsnjZAiElc?si=MfqXoLp2QJ-7QhQyyw7C4g&pi=e-BoAmEu-UQ7Wr The Santos Connection Spotify Profile (have a listen and follow): https://open.spotify.com/artist/2QVZRMNzssOIKKDIlngRyc The Santos Connection Twitter: https://x.com/santoscnnection?s=21&t=eqrCq7Vm65YWWbA4Nfrj7A The Santos Connection Webpage: https://epk.recordunion.com/the_santos_connection If you’ve enjoyed the Fantastival Podcast please give us a follow on Twitter @FantastivalP, subscribe on whatever platform you are listening to and give us a star rating on iTunes or rate the show and comment on the episode on Spotify and remember to check for our new episodes which are released every Sunday at 9am.
