Robbie hails from Ireland but now calls Madrid home. In our chat with him, he gives us a fascinating insight into the world of writing and what it feels like to live in the Spanish capital. 

He has written a book, Working Class Heroes: The Story of Rayo Vallecano, Madrid's Forgotten Team. This story is a love letter to one of the last remaining barrio teams in the world, and it's available on Amazon.

A version of this interview appears in our blog.

It was our privilege and pleasure to interview three members of the World of Hans Zimmer orchestra, the talented Snow Owl, with Colombian-inspired sounds, Gavin Greenaway, conductor for Interstellar and El Amir, known for Greek, Arabic and flamenco stylings. 

All three were gentlemen and spoke eloquently about art, culture and many things besides. 

Featuring music by all three musicians:

The Horde (Snow Owl and El Amir) 

The Sun Rose (Gavin Greenaway) 

Origen del Silencio (El Amir) 

With thanks to them and their management team.
