Richie Prynne on Creativity, Busking and the Breakup of CC Smugglers

Richie Prynne, the former lead singer of CC Smugglers, was our guest on this episode of the show. CC Smugglers broke up at the end of last year after they lost over £20,000 borrowed from Richie’s Dad’s pension fund used to record their last album. They had recouped all the money using the crowd funding site Pledge UK who liquidated days before they were due to withdraw the money. This conversation went to a whole bunch of places that I did not expect, how Richie nearly tore his finger off days before an international tour, guerilla-busking, music in ancient temples and cathedrals, and silent meditation retreats.
