EP9 - Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets

Keyboardist in the Inspiral Carpets Clint Boon laid part of the foundation for Madchester and Britpop. After the band split it took Clint back to reality but also to solo success and a new career as a DJ and broadcaster. With Paul and George he looks back on the lasting friendships of the Manchester scene, how Noel Gallagher was his roadie and selling merch financed the band’s first album.

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.
