He launched a series with DAVID ATTENBOROUGH & launched popular TV CHANNELS. He gave a BLUR member a v special ride! He offered to teach DAVE GROHL drums and he's followed by BARACK OBAMA and he's in one of my favourite bands. My guest has SO much insightful advice and recommendations and some great stories. He's helped shape the media and music industries for over 3 decades and he’s a drummer and guitarist in a great band. He got his first glimpse into the media world as a teenager by secretly following a courier into a music magazine and went on to climb the fence at Glastonbury before being invited back with VIP backstage passes. He went on to work for some of the world’s greatest media brands launching a show with David Attenborough and even launching a popular TV channel. He’s been a good friend of mine for a very long time and I can tell you he’s a total original and a wildcard on a night out whether he’s offering to give Dave Grohl drum lessons or dragging an almost naked member of Blur around a dance floor. Or meeting other greats like Nina Simone, James Brown, Van Morrison, John Cleese, the cast of Monty Python and so many other interesting people. I loved this episode as my guest is such an intelligent, funny and warm human being. This is Best of London according to Andy Boothroyd
