Welcome to the first episode of The World of Andy Crofts. In this opening chat, I look back at the moment that changed everything: seeing my first guitar in a catalogue and convincing my nan to buy it. From there, the conversation drifts through memories, music, creativity, dreams, life stories and whatever else comes to mind. No script, no agenda, just honest thoughts, observations and stories from my world.
