John Hammond is a consultant specializing in liver, pancreas & transplantation surgery who grew up in Belfast Northern Ireland, attended college in England, has lived in Nottingham, Pittsburgh, Norway but currently resides in Newcastle upon Tyne in what I have to say is the most welcoming and picturesque little village I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. This interview takes a look at the sounds that helped usher John into adulthood by way of BBC radio, and all the other cool things I’ve often wondered about but have zero points of reference for. John comes off super lowkey here, but I have to tell y’all, he is such a joy to be around and his sense of humor is chef’s kiss. We hope you enjoy it. #GillesPeterson #BBCRadio #Concerts #VanMorrison #DID #FreeStyleFellowship #Berlin #NottinghamUniversity #VinceWilson #Norway #SpokenWord
