Det här är berättelsen om hur fyra helt vanliga brittiska killar på bara några år blir ett av världens största band, trots att de vägrar att bete sig som rockstjärnor. Det är den 10 oktober 2005 och den brittiska artisteliten har samlats på the Grosvenor House Hotel i London. Den här måndagskvällen har det blivit dags för en av Storbritanniens mest prestigefyllda galor, musiktidningen Q:s Q Awards. Stämningen är laddad och konkurrensen stenhård.När det är dags att presentera de nominerade i kategorin Best Act of the World Today radas giganter som U2, Oasis, Green Day och Muse upp. Men det är inte någon av dem legendariska rockgrupperna som ropas upp på den turkosa scenen. Vinnarna i den ärofyllda kategorin blir istället indiebandet Coldplay. Sångaren Chris Martin är diskret klädd i en svart jeansjacka och han inleder sitt tacktal med att rikta en känga mot Oasis skivbolagsboss Alan McGee. Somewhere out there Alan McGee is having a heart attack.McGee har tidigare sagt att Coldplay gör musik för folk som kissar i sängen. I dont know if you remember that, but he said we would never make it.Coldplay slog igenom för fem år sedan och har på rekordtid vuxit till ett av världens största band. Samtidigt som de blivit allt populärare har rösterna som kallar dem tråkiga och slätstrukna blivit allt fler. En av dem som riktat spydiga kommentarer mot Coldplay är Oasis frontfigur Liam Gallagher. Inför galan har den brittiska pressen därför gjort sitt bästa för att elda på konflikten mellan den snälla och töntiga Chris och den coola och kaxiga Liam. Men Chris är inte intresserad av att slå tillbaka. Fuck the tabloids. Because they make our life a misery. We are not in a fight with anyone and I think Liam, although he has been rude, hes charming.Killarna i Coldplay är vana att bli hånade och dom verkar ta det med ro. Some of you probably hate us but I couldnt give a shit because we are the best act of the world.P3 Musikdokumentär om Coldplay handlar om ett rockband som valt en helt egen väg, vilket gjort dem både älskade och föraktade.Medverkande: Markus Larsson, Linus Broström och Caroline Hainer.Programmet är gjort av Joanna Korbutiak i början av 2022.  Producent var Hanna Frelin. Exekutiv producent Lars Truedsson. Slutmixen är gjord av Fredrik Nilsson. P3 Musikdokumentär görs av produktionsbolaget Tredje Statsmakten Media.Ljudklippen i dokumentären kommer från Coldplays egna dokumentär A Head Full of Dreams (2018), Q Awards 2005, Rolling Stone (2019), Zane Lowe på BBC Radio 1 (2014), The Howard Stern Show (2021), The South Bank Show på ITV (2009), BBC Choice (2002), Earthshot Prize 2021 på BBC One, MTV Global Gig (2005), TMZLive (2016), Good Morning America (2014) och ABC News (2014).

Episode 23 with Craig Middleton! This is a colourful interview. One I loved and I'm sure you will love too. Craig is a Englishman who has lived in Australia for the past 30 odd years since his mid 20's. He's worked in his local fish and chip shop north of London in Hertfordshire, to some of the fanciest hotels in England including one on Park Lane (yes, that Park Lane) in the Grosvenor House Hotel. Cooking for royalty and celebrities such as the Rolling Stones among many others. He now runs a cleaning company with his wife Jan in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, but as you'll soon hear, his creativity is at arguably an all time high, and he has no intentions of slowing down. I know you'll enjoy this conversation with Craig. It's a belter. Thanks as always for listening.
