In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to award-winning songwriter extraordinaire Gary Barlow. Gary talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life – his father sacrificing three years of holiday to get him a piano; Gary’s teenage years playing working men’s clubs and learning his craft from the comedians; and how continuously learning and ambition has always driven him.   He talks about the very early years of Take That; writing their first and only US hit “Back For Good” as a pushback, the breakup of the band and how stability was brought into his then transient life when he met his wife, Dawn.   Follow on Instagram: @thelulupodcast Follow on TikTok: @thelulupodcast   The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points is a Whistledown podcast.
