David James
Nicky Campbell asks former England goalkeeper, David James, how music has guided and grounded him in the remarkable and mundane moments of family life.
In each episode, Nicky is joined by a high-profile figure from broadcasting, entertainment and public life to share and explore how classical music has soundtracked their worlds as parents, children and caregivers: with a host of arresting, moving and funny stories from both parties along the way.
In this episode, Nicky is joined by former footballer and music lover, David James, as he recounts the influence his grandmother had on his music taste- and life- as well as his experience of becoming a grandparent himself. And through pieces from Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Copland, David James shares how he turns to music to soothe the rough edges of daily life, in the family and in the locker room.
