So, AL received a message from his good friend Andy McKeown that said he should come and take a look at an exhibition at The Hive in Shrewsbury and interview the artist, John Wragg. So this is exactly what AL did.
Back on the 9th of September AL met up with John at The Hive for a chat. We set up mics in the music room, we went for a walk around the exhibition and then we hit record.

John tells about his journey into the world of art and what it means to him. John worked with Roxy Music and we find out how he helped them and how they inspired him. John is a qualified hypnotist too and AL ponders the question “When we get lost into our work, have we hypnotised ourselves?” To find out John’s answer, go ahead and take a listen to this episode.
Thank you to The Hive for letting us record in your music room (the sound proofing is excellent). Thanks Andy, for setting this up, always grateful for your understanding of how my mind works and John, thank you for your patience, I kept hold of this podcast for weeks to tie me over until after Pod Aid . That being said, what we have here is timeless and a very important look into the mind of an extraordinary artist.
