EP7 - Jane Savidge the press instigator of Britpop

Britpop’s PR pioneer and the author of the brilliant Lunch With The Wild Frontiers: A History Of Britpop And Excess in 13 and a 1/2 Chapters, Jane Savidge joins Paul and George to talk representing Suede, the birth of Elastica and taking calls from 10 Downing Street. Jane was the beating heart of Britpop PR and not only saw it all, was the start of it all.

Have you ever wondered what Jarvis Cocker has on his tour rider? Or what aftershave Liam Gallagher wears? Or how the boys from Supergrass grew such impressive sideburns at such a young age?

Stuff like this is all that comedians George Lewis and Paul McCaffrey ever think about.

And this podcast will let them find out the answers to these and hundreds more of their dumb questions about the greatest time in music history.

In each episode, George (winner of Celebrity Mastermind, answering questions on Oasis) and Paul (knows twice as much about Britpop as George) will be joined by a guest who will chat about their experience of the Britpop movement.

They will uncover stories you’ve never heard before, discuss niche trivia and revel in the nostalgia of a time when we all thought Tony Blair, the England football team and minidiscs all had great futures ahead of them.
