Glen Colson - a podcast by Stu Arrowsmith

Legendary music PR Glen Colson worked on Elvis Costello’s record releases and tours in the late-1970s.

Glen tells me all about those early days – the stunts, the arrests, the tours and the music.

We chat about life at Stiff Records and the assorted cast of characters Glen’s encountered during his career, including Ian Dury, Nick Lowe and Syd Barrett.

Glen’s also added five songs to our Dragging the Lake playlist. 

Glen has published a fantastic memoir, called Nefarious. It’s a terrific read and you can buy a copy by emailing Glen directly. Find out more about the book on Glen Colson’s website.
