Meeting Bowie Was Most Memorable Day Of Dj's Life

I like the beat of your drum…

Ahead of his appearance on the First Love TV programme on Sky Arts, DJ/drummer, Mark Radcliffe, has been given the 60 second interview treatment in METRO. Here’s one of the questions and answers from the piece.

In your autobiography, Thank You For The Days, you describe the most memorable days of your life. If you could relive one, which would you pick?

I would have to choose meeting David Bowie. I first heard his music when I was 14 and it encapsulated everything that was great about rock?n? roll. Bowie seemed so remote and glamorous he was like an alien from a far different planet. The world he occupied seemed entirely removed from the world of someone going to school doing their O-levels in Bolton. So to then meet him and know him ? and I can still e-mail him now and he?ll reply ? just seems so far away from how I ever saw my life panning out.
