How did Jesse Armstrong's Shropshire roots shape him into the global superstar he is today? Jesse Armstrong was born in 1970 in Oswestry where his father had moved “to be in nature in a slightly sixties way...we lived in the countryside with chickens, edging towards The Good Life.” Lauren Laverne hears Jesse's incredible journey from the Shropshire 'good life' to global stardom.
