Summary

This week on Rockonteurs we talk to a legend in the music PR business – someone whose job it is to steer and guide some of the biggest artists in the world – and Barbara Charone has been doing it longer and better than most. She is fun, fabulous, fearless and trusted by the likes of Madonna, The Foo Fighters, Eddie Vedder and Keith Richards. She has a new book out that documents her life guiding the greatest names in music and ‘Access All Areas – A Backstage Pass Through 50 Years of Music and Culture’ is out now. This week she chats to Guy and Gary as they continue their tour across Europe with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets.

Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones and Stuart Elmore for Gimme Sugar Productions
