"Seeding young minds with classical music is a bit of an emotional crusade" - David Miller

Robert Emery talks to David Miller, American Tenor who is a member of the successful classical crossover group Il Divo, who has sold over 28 million copies worldwide. David talks about the challenges of being on tour, recording albums and how he believes that living 'in the now' is the biggest factor of his success and happiness. And of course, he answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; The White House or Buckingham Palace?

Since his Broadway role as Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s version of Puccini’s La Boheme, David's career has skyrocketed like most musicians could only dream of. This chat is an excellent, in depth conversation which covers much more than the music industry.

"The only person that knew (about her affair with with Laurence Olivier) was my Mother, as she caught us together." - Sarah Miles Robert Emery talks to Sarah Miles for Part Two of their explosive podcast episode. If you missed Part One, then click here to watch it before enjoying this follow-up episode. Sarah is an English theatre and film actress who was nominated for four BAFTA's, two Golden Globes and an Oscar. Sarah talks about her biological connection with the British Royal family, finishing RADA and going straight into the West-End where Sir John Gielgud famously said "Did you know you have a bottom just like a boy? Two poached eggs in a handkerchief." Sarah was catapulted into the limelight at a young age, starring opposite some of the greats including Dirk Bogarde , Vanessa Redgrave , Laurence Olivier , Ralph Richardson , Margaret Rutherford & Robert Mitchum ; she had two marriages to the same person - the screen writer Robert Bolt (winner of two Oscars, two BAFTA's, three Golden Globes and a Tony award) and an epiphany three years after filming Ryan's Daughter that changed her life forever. This sometimes intense conversation takes us up to 1973, just before she filmed 'The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing' opposite Burt Reynolds, where her life took a turn for the worse and tragedy struck.

"The one thing I couldn't live without is music - I'd go mad" - Right Said Fred Robert Emery talks to Fred and Richard Fairbrass, the brothers better know as Right Said Fred. They talks about selling 30 million albums, how they dealt with their massive success, their struggle with depression, and how on occasion, they like to live life to the max; including buying a fridge so big it wouldn't fit inside the house! They of course also answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; what is your most treasure possession, and what is the one thing you can't live without? Both Fred and Richard have been in the press recently with their not so politically correct opinions on COVID - but they also reveal they were misquoted, and set the record straight. They seem to have done that rare feat of keeping a successful team together for over thirty years - and also are genuinely lovely chaps with their feet firmly placed on the ground. With quotes like: "one of the things about lockdown that wasn't emphasised enough by politicians, who really ought to know better, is the importance of fresh air, exercise and sleeping properly. These things are so important, and particularly when it comes to depression and anxiety in people, we need to encourage people to just get outside."

"There are three key things that a person needs to be successful; be curious and adaptable, read a lot, and apply yourself" - Jim Mellon Robert Emery talks to Jim Mellon , a billionaire entrepreneur-investor-philanthropist. Often in the top 10% of the Sunday Times Rich List, Jim is a visionary entrepreneur with a flair for identifying emerging global trends. Jim talks about his route to becoming one of the world's wealthiest individuals, why he believes he will live to over 100, and how humanity will shortly be feeding itself from lab-grown meat. He of course also answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; "what is the most outrageous thing you've ever purchased?" Jim has done that rare feat of being wealthy enough to buy anything he wants in the world, but also seems like he'd be happy to have a pint with you in the local pub. He is a totally fascinating character and one we could all learn something from. With quotes like: "my talent is competent plagiarism and reducing things to simple propositions" "the people that are going to live to 110 or 120 are here - they're already alive" To see the original web page for this episode, click here: https://rdce.news/ep15…

"I would say to any composer: Talent is important, perseverance is important, hard work is important, but luck is important as well..." - John Rutter Robert Emery talks to John Rutter , composer and conductor best known for his choral compositions, including many Christmas carols and anthem.. John talks about his process of composing, the commission to write an anthem for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, and how tragedy stuck in 2001 with his son being killed in a road accident. He of course also answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; Composing or Conducting? John has done that rare feat of being accessible and popular, without the critics panning him for the simplicity and beauty of his music. He has a fascinating and somewhat wise view of the world, constantly coming out with quotes like "we like to think we are in control of our destiny, but really we're not", and my favourite; "if you want to be rich and famous, you should probably concentrate on one thing and do it obsessively and do it incredibly well. If you want to have a happy and fulfilled life, do whatever interests you - and if possible, get someone to pay you for it!"
