The Real Hackney Dave

In episode 20 I chat to artist Dave Buonaguidi - otherwise known as The Real Hackney Dave. 

We chat about Dave’s mid-life epiphany during which he left his marriage and his career in advertising and became an artist. 

Dave is a fascinating guy and a natural story-teller and I loved hearing about his time in 90’s Spitalfields as it just started to become cool (If you’ve been on one of our tours you’ll probably know Dave’s former home, 11½ Fournier St!), his time at channel 4 during the Brit Art Years and how he’s continued to move with the times and constantly reinvent himself. 

I speak to him as he prepares for his solo show at BSMT space alongside other projects and find a guy who is always working to make his art better and who creates it for the people. 

I loved this one, hope you do to.
