My guest mixer this week is Ian Clayton
Ian is an author who came up in conversation several times last week when I talked to Ian Daley, as he has had several books published by Route. They include Bringing It All Back Home (a book about searching for a soundtrack to your own life story), Song For My Father (a reflection on a lifelong search for a father figure), and It’s The Beer Talking (a book about a lifelong love affair with local pubs).
I can particularly recommend Bringing It All Back Home, a book that I found to be both funny and deeply moving.
