EP#32 - Co-Founding WOMAD, William Blake & BEING MY DRAMA TEACHER!

Far too few people in this life have even one teacher who has inspired them. I have been lucky enough to have a few in my time, and this man was the first. Stephen Pritchard read English at Oxford and studied William Blake's visionary work for his PhD, before working as a music journalist. Upon interviewing the great Peter Gabriel, they both subsequently went on to become to parts of the founding members of World of Music, Arts & Dance (WOMAD).The next thirty-plus years were spent as an educator, which is where I was lucky enough to come into contact with Stephen and his work. He is secretary of the Blake Society, a committee member of the Jung Lectures, Bristol, as well as director and writer of Blake inspired one-man show 'Albion, Awake!'
