KEY TAKEAWAYS Rowland had a penalty shoot-out with Diana Ross in a bedroom at The Ritz. Living with Rik Mayall was a bit crazy. Rowland once interviewed Patrick Swayze while he was taking a shower. Interviewing Spike Milligan was hard work. Show business looks glamorous, but in reality it is a mix of excitement, routine, and unpredictability. Even successful performers experience both the thrill of live performance and the tedium of repetitive gigs. Showbiz is full of last-minute changes and the need to adapt quickly—e.g. learning an entire musical’s drum parts with no rehearsal. Success in showbiz is shaped as much by chance encounters, personal quirks, and resilience as by talent or planning. BEST MOMENTS “How does a penalty shoot-out in Diana Ross’ bedroom occur?” “I did a massive faux pas with Mel Brooks.” “I walked into a gig and had walked into an armed siege.” “All of the tables were shaped like coffins.” “ I'd actually fallen out of the gig and I had to queue up to get back in and back on stage to carry on playing.” “I'm left-handed, dyslexic, and word blind, so I can't learn lines to save my life.” “The first night I did it … the show finished half an hour early because I was speeding up and panicking.” “By about the fourth or fifth day, I was completely bored… and stopped drumming.” “We did a bastardised version of Desert Island Discs.” “I didn’t go on holiday for about 20 years. I was just completely enjoying myself. I didn’t want to do anything else.” EPISODE RESOURCES Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Did-Last-Night-accidental-ebook/dp/B004LROP04 https://x.com/rowlandrivron HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.
