A Legend Awaits
Tonight I’ll be at the Rotterdam Bar in Belfast, in conversation with Henry McCullough. The idea is that we shoot the breeze for an hour, covering Henry’s amazing career, including his stints with Paul McCartney and Joe Cocker, his appearance at Woodstock, his time with Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull and Janis Joplin.
We may not dwell on the heavy moments, the lifestyle and the career dips, but we’ll surely cover his resurrection as an elemental Guitar Man, wreathed in knowledge, danger and on nodding terms with mortality. After this introduction, Henry will play a gig. Judging by his performance at Glasgowbury this Summer, it will be a deadly affair.

Sounds very interesting and I wish I was there but I am in London. Is the interview going out on your Friday show?
(Please.....)

It wasn't a radio gig, unfortunately, but I think the conversation was recorded and it might get its way into the public domain some time. It was an amazing chat, though.
