Brian Eno interviews David Wilson

What do U2, Pavarotti, Argentine cowboys, the ex-Yugoslav wars, back room art deals and Brian Eno have in common? Answer: 'Left Field'. Brian Eno interviews David Wilson about his forthcoming memoir. Brian and David have a long history together and David appears liberally in Eno's diary "A Year with Swollen Appendices". He's the David that very obviously isn't Bowie.

Gaucho

The gauchos of the 19th century, the sort found in José Hernández poem, “El Gaucho Martín Fierro”, made their boots from the skin of a horse's leg, their stirrups from knuckle bones. Their elaborately-decorated facónes were tucked into the back of their belts. These knives survived into the 1960s when I was in Argentina – we'd slice barbequed beef for breakfast with them before herding the cattle. But today nothing of the gaucho is left. Not even their knifes. The thousands of square miles of pampas grasslands have been turned over to Monsanto GM soya. You can discover more about life on the pampas in 'Left Field'.   http://unbound.co.uk/books/left-field

                                                         

Left Field is launched.

For those of you wondering what's been happening to me—I have, with support from the publisher Unbound—been polishing a memoir. When I started it ten years ago, it was for the attic, maybe for my children and grandchildren. Friends who read it were curious to know more about my time as a gaucho, my almost-art crime in Prague, my father's war experiences in Germany (in liberating Bergen-Belsen) and my own in war-torn Bosnia. They wanted to know more about how I came to the attention of MI5 as a teenager and why my political activism continued to inform my life. Why I was invited to dinner with Nelson Mandela and how Brian Eno and Luciano Pavarotti became patrons of a charity I co-founded. Check the film here and read more
