POPULARITY
There aren't many writers around who can look back on their career and say they've interviewed as many top musicians as Paul du Noyer. The Liverpool-born author and music journalist boasts as impressive a list as anyone from the past 40 + years - Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield to name just a few. He's also written definitive books about the music culture of his home city as well as that of London, a place where he's spent much time writing and editing iconic magazines such as NME, Q and MOJO. Paul du Noyer is Ian Prowse and Mick Ord's wonderful guest in this episode of Misadventures in Music which was recorded by our friends at The Podcafe in Liverpool.
Both of us were involved in the launch of Mojo 30 years ago in the autumn of 1993 and we dug out our copies of the first issue. As editor Paul Du Noyer said on page 3, it was “our confirmed intention to pitch a wang-dang-doodle – all night long, if necessary.” The cover story was about a sequence from Eat The Document, the film by DA Pennebaker of Bob Dylan's '66 tour that was never released and could only be seen on bootleg VHS cassettes. And this bit was so rare and controversial it had even been deleted from most of the bootlegs - none more niche! – and featured Dylan and John Lennon's stoned ramblings in a black cab after Bob had played the Albert Hall in May ‘66. The piece by Richard Williams also focused on 10 days in the life of Dylan and the Beatles at the time, the kind of specific, deep-end trawl that helped start a whole new wing of rock book publishing. You can see the seeds of the emerging ‘heritage rock' in that first edition too. Mojo have a wonderful 30th anniversary issue out now, by the way. Further logs on this week's conversational fire include … .. why people buy ‘vinyls' when they don't own a record player. … David's story about the HMV security guard who built a shrine to James Last. … the brilliant – and fiercely competitive - mixtapes made and played in music magazines offices. ... the dreadful allegations about Russell Brand and the media rush to cut ties with him. … the band t-shirt favoured by well-heeled businessmen to signify they were once a ‘wild card'. … the Clones Roses, A Band Called Malice … the Dutiful South? … mentioned in despatches: Cat Mother and The All Night Newsboys. … and birthday guest Steve Way on the avenues of discovery encouraged by his love of Paul Weller (including the ruinous pursuit of being a Blue Note completist). Ps Dizzying pop facts: go back 30 years from the launch of Mojo and it's ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand'.

Paul Du Noyer returns to the pod to discuss his 2015 book 'Conversations With McCartney'. In June 1989, Paul Du Noyer was contacted by Paul McCartney's office in London and asked to interview the star as they had met once before and enjoyed a good rapport. In the years that followed, Paul Du Noyer continued to meet, interview and work for Paul McCartney on a regular basis, producing magazine articles, tour programmes, album liner notes, press materials and website editorial. It's likely that Du Noyer has spent more hours in formal, recorded conversation with McCartney than any other writer.
In this episode, Erin and Karen discuss “Conversations with McCartney" by Paul Du Noyer. “Conversations With McCartney” is a compilation of interviews Du Noyer conducted with McCartney from 1979 to 2015. An analysis of its methodology from a historical perspective and place in Beatle historiography is discussed.
In which Paul Du Noyer talks about his new book ‘In The City: A Celebration of London Music’ – the music hall roots of the Kinks, Small Faces, Dury, Squeeze and Madness, Broadside Ballads and how Champagne Charlie, Marie Lloyd, skiffle, rock and roll, the Stones, stage school brats like Lily Allen and the stars of grime are all linked to a common story-telling tradition.

I'm joined by Paul Du Noyer, a Liverpool born author, editor and music journalist.He discusses 'The Complete John Lennon' - a new revised version of 1997's 'We All Shine On'. This unique book recounts John Lennon's life after The Beatles with a fascinating and revealing track by track analysis of the stories behind all his solo songs.
In May 2016 we welcomed respected author and music journalist Paul Du Noyer to Glossop Record Club. Paul started out as a writer at the NME, moved on to being editor of Q, founding editor of Mojo and associate editor of the greatly missed Word magazine. He’s interviewed the likes of David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Pavarotti and nearly everyone with a strong connection to The Beatles, not least Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. He’s also written several books including definitive musical histories of Liverpool and London, plus tomes dedicated to John Lennon and seminal art-rock band Deaf School. His latest book, Conversations With McCartney, draws from the many interviews Du Noyer has conducted with Macca over the years. Hosted by Gavin Hogg. Recorded and edited by Simon Galloway.
Of all the authors I have had on this show, none have had the personal, one-to-one, access that Paul Du Noyer has been privy to. In fact, most journalists would give thier left leg, arm (or other body part) to spend 1% of the time with Paul that my guest today has.Come join us as we discuss anything and everything about McCartney, ranging from the Beatles, Wings, The Fireman, McCartney's personality, mindset, and worldview. Grab a beer, or any beverage for that matter folks.
