Here's an interview I did recently for a website/cable TV thing. I'm talking about Can't Let Go. (I've taken the interview clip out until I can work out how to embed it without it starting automatically every time the page is opened).

The great god Neil

2008-03-10T13:03:26Z

I don't really have the words to describe how lucky and awed I felt to see Neil Young at the Hammersmith Apollo, twice in the last week. I was there for his first London date of the tour on Wednesday, about twelve rows back from the stage with a ...
