About this episode

For our latest bonus episode, we offer a diversion and a trip back to the past as your humble host is interviewed about his and other people's music by a friend in Madrid in 2016. Topics touched upon include songwriting, creativity, performance, recording and (no surprise) The Beatles and John Lennon.

Preceding the interview are Antony's thoughts after a reread of the Ray Coleman revised and updated 'Lennon' biography.

The next regular episode will be out at the start of November

Enjoy!
