Steve Blacknell. guest Feb 8th 09

Steve is always great fun to talk to, we last chatted
in the late 70s & early 80s......so a bit of a gap.
Then, he was a record plugger & plugged artists like
Steely Dan....say no more!
He is now in management & operates both here in UK
& in America, where he lived for some time & was a
huge success. Drink & other more sinister commodities
became his friends & the association was a disaster.
He is quite open about all of it, including his eating
disorder which was significant & all in all he got very
close to the edge. He is a fascinating & colourful
character with a sensational story to tell. One episode
saw him on Concorde interviewing Phil Collins on a
live link up between London & Philadelphia for Live Aid
..... remember?
