One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Ah! Hello and welcome to I am the Eggpot with me, Chris Shaw. The Egg Pots take a jaunty stroll through Papaland, discussing the Beatles and solo Beatle albums with a potpourri of delicious guests.

In this episode, I'm joined by a musician, songwriter and producer, who's produced and written for Simple Minds, Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud, and the Pet Shop Boys, amongst many more.

Owen Parker.

Hello.

Hello there.

Lovely to meet you.

And you, yes.

I think actually we are friends on Facebook and it does amuse me because like a lot of my friends

you get posts about this lovely cake I've made or I've painted the shed and your photos are

of being on stage with Robbie Williams in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

You've just returned from that, haven't you?

Yeah, 15 months, it started October, well, rehearsal, September, 2022, and it ended beginning of December, or throughout December.

So we did Australia at the end of last year.

Yeah, it was amazing, because I've never toured that much.

I've been more of a studio bod. I did Billy Bragg in America, but that was like seven weeks.

So the longest I'd really done was that. So it was brilliant. I often wonder if I do lose some

friends, because it seems a little bit brag-ardy but I'm doing it for the see

your memories thing yeah basically that if it all ends I can either I can either sort of

taunt myself that that's what I used to do or or smile and go oh at least I've done that yeah so

a sort of glass half full um sort thing. But it's funny. Yeah.
