BBSO Presents: Yvonne Innes - Dip My Brain In Joy
In 2019 we lost a Rutle, a Bonzo and a Python - these were all one man; the incredible Neil Innes. His wife Yvonne, who was with him since the early sixties, has now written a memoir of Neil's life and their time together - Dip My Brain In Joy: A Life With Neil Innes, which is available from 24th October 2024 from Nine Eight Books. In this chat, Yvonne talks about Neil's philosphy of life and language, his risk-taking and what it was like to be around art-schools in the sixties as a new wave of comedians and musicians started to change the world. She also discusses her own "pro good-things, anti bad-things" stance, her and Neil's relationship to finance and how these things can affect art and creativity. Thanks so much to Yvonne for making the time to chat to us! Enjoy. A celebration of the life of Neil Innes takes place in London on the 28th November and standing tickets are still available.
