This week we have a fascinating chat with jazz drummer Jack Cotterill!

Jack is six years alcohol free after deciding to quit drinking at just 25 years old. Since then, sobriety has helped him build his confidence both on and off stage.

He's a fantastically positive guy, and speaks about the deliberate decision he made to become the feel good person that we had on the call with us. We think you're an inspirational guy Jack and we're delighted you joined us on Over The Influence. Thanks so much for your time!

If you'd like to stay up to date with Jack, you can follow him on Instagram @jackcotterill.
