Let me start by saying that, at 40, I’m an embryo compared with where I hope to wind up. (Centenarian yogi with long grey locks, a tribe of animals and aged hippies, my home full of records and dream catchers; channelling Titania but rocking Catweazle? Bring it.) I don’t feel adulty – at least not …
Stress: more is being demanded of you than you feel able to deliver. For much of my adult life I was a one-trick pony. I simply mixed sound for bands for a living, my touring schedule dictated when I was away, and being home meant not working. No kids, no complications, no stress. …

Last week I was invited to the Henley festival to see my old chum Lionel Richie. (I saw him a fortnight ago at Glasto as well – that’s more than I see most of my mates, so I figure we’re pretty much BFFs now.) Henley is not a festival of the muddy fields and tent …
