The one-time manager, record label boss, popstar, musical terrorist, author and conceptual artist talks to Matt Everitt about his remarkable career.
Bill discusses all aspects of is extraordinary career to date. From guiding the Teardrop Explodes, to writing the definitive manual on getting a number one single, from creating then destroying Stadium Rave with the KLF to his now infamous burning of a million pounds, and onto his current attempts to deconstruct the way we experience and interact with music - and reinvent it in wholly remarkable and original ways.
This interview first broadcast in August 2010.
