Mark Featherstone-Witty OBE is an educator and entrepreneur. He is the Founding Principal and Chief Executive of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts which he founded, with Paul McCartney, in the mid-1990s, after establishing the British Record Industry Trust BRIT School in Croydon with Richard Branson

What an honour to interview him for this podcast series and how timely, with the tragic recent passing of one of Liverpool's founding fathers, Sir Ken Robinson.

Hear what Mark says the English School's Minister, Nick Gibb said when he first met Sir Ken and also which Rocket Man he says is possibly going to be part of a tribute of some sort to his legacy.

This podcast inspired our #TALKSWALKERS20 series, a series of chats with people who knew, worked with and were inspired by Sir Ken.
