Word In Your Ear

Summer in the City: Word in The Park presents ... Gary Crowley

In our sun-baked return to live events on July 17, we had four guests onstage at a spectacular outdoor venue kindly lent us by Opera Holland Park in West London, the first our old pal the shy, retiring, hard-to-prise-a-word-out-of-him broadcaster Gary Crowley. Stories here include the time he was invited round to the Clash HQ for an interview (when still at school), the giddying sensation of meeting Paul McCartney and some unsung heroes of '80s pop.  @CrowleyOnAir Radio London …<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7z2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7z2</a> Gary's 'Lost '80s' CD box-sets … …<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gary-Crowleys-Lost-Various-Artists/dp/B07L51CSKH" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gary-Crowleys-Lost-Various-Artists/dp/B07L51CSKH</a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gary-Crowley-Lost-80s-2/dp/B093XGSJKW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gary-Crowley-Lost-80s-2/dp/B093XGSJKW</a> Support Word In Your Ear on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear</a> <a href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4234399" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get bonus content on Patreon</a> Hosted on Acast.

Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been talking about and writing about music together and individually for a collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The Word and on radio and TV programmes like "Rock On", "Whistle Test" and VH-1. Over thirteen years ago, when working on the late magazine The Word, they began producing podcasts. Some listeners have been kind enough to say these have been very special to them. When the magazine folded in 2012 they kept the spirit of those podcasts alive in regular Word In Your Ear evenings in which they spoke to musicians and authors in front of an audience.  Over these years they've produced hundreds of hours of material. As of the Current Unpleasantness of 2020, they've produced yet hundreds of hours more with a little help from guests kind enough to digitally show them around their attics such as Danny Baker, Andy Partridge, Sir Tim Rice and Mark Lewisohn.
