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. In this second part of a two-part

podcast, I'm delving deeper into the eventful life of Andrew Pritchard. In part one, we chatted

about his massive warehouse raves, the amount

of money used to earn, how he evaded the police for years and the moment his lifestyle caught

up with him. In this part, we talk about Andy's life on the run, how he became a drug kingpin

of a smuggling empire and when it all finally came crashing down. We joined the chat just as he

decided to bleed the country after pressure from the police. Here he is again, Mr Andrew Pritchard.

So at that time I decided to, you know, make my exit. Well, I left this country here in the heat of the night.

And back then used to have, rather than the actual full passport, used to have a paper

thing you could get from a post like this in anyone's name, put your picture in there.

So I got one of those off of my friend.

I flew down to France, Paris, just literally border the flight, landed.

I ironically stayed a place called Hotel California.

I spent like about 12, 13 weeks in there anyway.

It was really a nice little hotel.

It was like across the road to the air cafe of Paris and everything like that.

But that was getting a bit bored.
