Gosh that was a stressful/fun morning. I was due on the Robert Elms show for a live interview about my Anoint My Head book at 9:30 am. I just had to drop Elliot at his football match at 9:20 giving me a precious ten minutes to gather my thoughts ahead of a phone call from the BBC producer. At 9:15 I became aware we were running late, at 9:20 I also became aware we were lost and then at 9:24 Elliot informed me that I needed to stop the car pronto coz he was going to vomit. I didn’t know if this was from car sickness, genuine illness or the fact he got in late from a party last night. But I told him in no uncertain terms and in a slightly high-pitched panicky voice that it was rather bad timing. At 9:29 we found football ground and I pushed my post-vomit son out of the car just as the BBC producer rang to say I was about to go on air…

Anyway if you would like to hear the ensuing conversation the link is below. I talk about The Pointy Birds, Ricky Gervais, Britpop, mis-filing vinyl at Selectadisc and forthcoming live shows at Dublin Castle Rock n Roll Book club on Thurs 21st April and Edinburgh Festival in August. I’m on after Blur about 30 mins in. Hope you enjoy…
