Felix White is a musician, writer and broadcaster best known as a guitarist in The Maccabees. He subsequently co-founded independent record label Yala! and co-presents the 大象传媒鈥檚 Tailenders podcast with Greg James. Here White reads his recollections of growing up, his mother's multiple sclerosis and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left-arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world-renowned band.
