Special: John Duffin]]>It's preseason, the football's on pause (well the proper stuff we mean), but there's never a shortage of things worth talking about at Beans!.

At Give 'em Beans!, we've always believed the fanzine is about more than just what's happening on the pitch - it's about the town, the people, the culture and the stories that make Barrow what it is.

So for this special episode of Spillin' the Beans!, we did something a little different.

Jonny sat down with Barrovian artist John Duffin - a man whose paintings of the town have found their way into the hearts and homes of Barrovians across the world, paintings that come back to the streets, the docks and the soul of the place he grew up in.

So tune in to hear them chat about his childhood in Barrow, his years working in the shipyard, his move to London to pursue his art and what his relationship with the town looks like today - plus his recent exhibition at the ⁠Dock Museum - Look North ⁠
