Excited to have spoken with my next guest, Alan Edwards, the godfather of British music PR. Alan has worked with some of the most legendary artists of our time, from David Bowie to the Spice Girls via the Rolling Stones, the Stranglers, Blondie, Prince and Amy Winehouse.

His book "I Was There" is a snapshot of his life in the fast paced rock world with stories like working with Keith Moon, heading to the US to work with Blondie, football with Bob Marley, listening to Prince discuss the future of civilisation or getting himself into the middle of a power struggle between Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.

And now he joins us on the release of Think Loud for Parkinsons and his work with the man behind it Ian Grant.

The Rock Gods Right Hand Man...Alan Edwards

I also spoke with Alan just days after the death of Blondie drummer, Clem Burke so it was front and centre at the start of our discussion. Enjoy!
