Summary

As promised, here's the whole Brian May interview conducted by Elis & John. Raw, energetic, passionate, and mostly unedited, this is the interview that will surely inform all future interviews - in fact, it will likely inform all future conversation. This is Year Zero. The beginning of the Age of May. But seriously, we thought it might be nice for you to hear this – hope you enjoy it. Elis & John are back on your radio for the next fortnight between 4pm and 7pm, and are on air on Saturdays as usual from 1pm til 4pm. You can get in touch on [email protected] (if you’re on e-mail. You’ve got to be on e-mail). Keep it session. Keep it Radio X. [email protected] http://www.elisandjohn.com/ https://elisandjohnmerch.com/
