Welcome back to How Did You Do It? — the podcast where we sit down with people who’ve carved their own path and find out what really goes into it.
Today we’re joined by Tom Rowley — a Sheffield musician whose story runs deep through the city’s music scene. From his early days in Milburn, to stepping out with his own solo work, to playing multiple instruments on stage and in the studio, Tom’s career has been all about versatility and craft.
We also get into what it’s like being part of the machine behind one of the world’s biggest bands — the Arctic Monkeys — where Tom has spent years playing backing instruments across huge tours and iconic shows.
This one’s about graft, musicianship, and making your own sound while helping shape others’. Here’s my conversation with Tom Rowley.
