This time on BTSWCE we’re chatting with TV Executive Producer and King of Saturday Nights on Channel 5, Simon Withington, about his role in putting together the newly published autobiography of his best friend, actor, singer and showbiz personality - Jess Conrad OBE. The book is called “From Blitz to Glitz” and Simon talks about the collaborative writing process, his diligent research and gives us a tantalising flavour of the colourful anecdotes and vivid memories that Jess recalls from his astonishing, non-stop 70-year career in the spotlight. Diana Dors, The Krays, Cilla Black and Roger Moore are just a few of the famous faces who have featured in the life of Jess Conrad. We find out how a Teddy Boy from South London became a ‘60s pop singer, actor and the first person ever to play the lead role in Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. “From Blitz to Glitz” is published by Oak Tree Books. https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Jess-Conrad/author/B0CSM1W12D?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1708711707&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true Simon’s accompanying documentary can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jess-Conrad-Blitz-Glitz/dp/B0CN95RYVX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1O84HP6CFIERA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vous4XOl8utw4UJ6KTF6SQ.91_bCnloVkkW8Npd8338ID30Hu91zTIBwVURj8rwpt0&dib_tag=se&keywords=from+blitz+to+glitz+jess+conrad&qid=1708605060&s=instant-video&sprefix=from+blitz+to+glitz+jess+conrad%2Cinstant-video%2C162&sr=1-1 Support the podcast by becoming a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/BEHINDTHESCENESWITHCOLINEDMONDS Colin Edmonds socials Facebook: colin.edmonds.73 Instagram: colinedmondsssm Twitter:@ColinEdmondsSSM Website: https://www.steamsmokeandmirrors.com/ Listen to all episodes of the podcast available on; Spotify Amazon Music Audible Apple Podcasts BOOKS Buy Steam, Smoke and Mirrors Available at Caffeine Nights Available at Amazon Available on Audible Buy The Lazarus Curiosity: Steam, Smoke and Mirrors 2 Available at Caffeine Nights Available at Amazon Available on Audible Buy The Nostradamus Curiosity: Steam, Smoke and Mirrors 3 Available at Caffeine Nights Available at Amazon
