Sweetman Podcast: Episode 122 – Pip Adam

Welcome to episode 122 of Sweetman Podcast with support from our sponsors – T Leaf T, Yeastie Boys and Le Petite Chocolat. Given her proximity to where the podcast takes place – she lives four or five houses down the road from me – it feels like it’s taken forever to get Pip Adam on the podcast.

Grace Jones: I’ll Never Write My Memoirs

I’ll Never Write My Memoirs Grace Jones with Paul Morley Gallery Books On the one hand Grace Jones’ memoir (the title taken from one of her songs – but also hinting at her wilful way with disobedience and contradiction) is rather annoying, a bit of a bore, a bit too full of itself; too sure […]
