Description
You may not know the name but you will definitely know the face. Chris McClure shot to global fame as the cover star of the Arctic Monkeys' record-breaking debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' back in 2006. Now a filmmaker, he talks to us about his latest documentary, focused on alcoholism in the music industry.  The film features his own personal story alongside those of other musicians and industry figures and is well worth a watch - click here to see it: https://bit.ly/2WhQNWu (https://t.co/fX3oGyWeFE?amp=1) Chris also recounts the highs of watching his Monkey mates become global stars and the lows of his best mate Andy Nicholson leaving the band. He also regales us with the best anecdote Rick has ever heard in his 16 years working as a journalist, involving Noel Gallagher, Peter Kay and some stolen sundries.  Elsewhere on the episode, Rick and Sarah debate whether it's shameful that they're both secretly fans of Simply Red, how the Brit Awards could have got it so wrong again with their 2020 shake-up and whether Graham Coxon's new tune is any good.
