Welcome to the Eventful Entrepreneur.

My name's Dodge. I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years

and thrown thousands of parties across the UK

and I'm also the owner of the Bournemouth Sevens Festival.

Everyone who knows me knows I love people, having a laugh and asking lots of questions. So I've been chatting to people

with one thing in common. They've all lived eventful lives. This week I'm delving into the

eventful life of Andrew Pritchard. Andy went from a big name in their legal rave scene to one of the

most prolific drug smugglers of modern times.

In the first of a two-part podcast, we chatted about his massive warehouse raves in London,

how he evaded the police for years, the moment his lifestyle caught up with him, and when he was forced to go on the run to Jamaica.

And he's had one of the most eventful lives of anyone I've ever spoken to, and this podcast

is just half of the story.

to get in contact me personally, you can get me on Instagram under Dodge Woodall.

I reply to every message.

Here is the man himself, Mr Andrew Pritchard.

Andy, welcome to the show, mate. Hey, are you, Dodge? Good to see you.

Yeah, mate, blind up. Let's get cracking. Let's roll all the way back. Where did you grow up

and how did you get into the events industry? Okay, so I grew up in Stoke Newington, North London.

My parents, my mother was Jamaican.

She carried in 1951.

She met my father in 1958.
