Episode 30: Dann Read
On February 9 2002, a chance meeting took place which changed the face of Morecambe Wrestling history. When Dann Read bumped into Greg Lambert at a revolutionary UK wrestling show just outside London, it set off a chain of events that led us to where we are today. Now a hugely successful promoter of EVE - Europe's top all-female wrestling promotion - Dann had a hand in many pivotal moments in Morecambe Wrestling history. In this epic interview, Greg catches up with his old friend to reminisce on that first meeting and everything that happened next...
