S03E05: The Kevin Godley Interview
Kevin Godley left art school in 1968 and headed straight to the Beatles’ Apple Corp to pitch a musical with his partner Lol Creme. So began a career that would often overlap with the Beatles, culminating with being chosen to direct the Real Love video in 1995. In 2020 he’s as creative as ever, and is about to release his debut solo album, Muscle Memory.
Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

0:26.6 | Welcome to Nothing is Real, a podcast about the Beatles. My name's Jason Carty. My name's Stephen Crockroft. And we're live on tape from Dublin and Belfast. And today we've got another Nothing is Real guest joining us in the Beatles pod, the one and only Mr. Kevin Godley. Hello, Kevin. Hello, how are you doing? We're doing very well. Now, listeners, on the very slim chance you're |
0:42.3 | unaware of the body of work of our guest today, Kevin Godley has been weaving his way in and out of all the best parts of Godly and Cream. He's also been the man behind some iconic music |

0:59.6 | Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, and together as The Beatles. Amazingly, it has taken until 2020 for |

1:45.7 | I'm guessing, near the start. |
1:48.0 | Yeah. |
1:49.0 | Excuse me. |
1:50.0 | I mean, it affected everybody that I hung out with the Manchester, teenagers. |
