James Krishna Floyd is an award winning actor, a screen writer and director. He has been described as a young Robert de Niro and his versatility is displayed in the extraordinary breadth and variety of roles he has played to date. His film ‘Unicorns’ which he wrote and co-directed came out last week (July 5th). It’s not only entertaining but also important, brave, ground-breaking and deeply human.

In this conversation James talks about how he prepares for the roles he plays and the scripts he writes; he lived in amongst East London gangs for six months, he found an Egyptian refugee on which to base his character in ‘The Swimmers’ and he immersed himself in the Gaysian scene for ‘Unicorns’. Packed with interest, thoughtful insights, humility and empathy, I was struck by this hugely talented man and profound thinker.

For the last three years, my daughters and I have had the privilege of singing at their annual carol concert in December and the outpouring of thanks from parents and families about how Child Bereavement has supported them and continues to support them in the worst of all circumstances is truly humbling, moving and inspiring. We will be mentioning them in our next few podcast episodes. If you know of someone in these circumstances who needs their help or if you’d like to support the work that they do either by donating or giving your time, please contact them via their website www.childbereavementuk.org Every penny and every effort will make a difference.

Today Mark Knopfler releases a new, special recording of ‘Going Home’ (Theme From Local Hero), to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and its American equivalent Teen Cancer America. My guest Guy Fletcher, longtime collaborator of Mark’s, produced this incredible piece of work; editing and knitting together performances from over 60 of the greatest guitarists and musicians in history. ‘Legendary’ does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Brian May to Tony Iommi, Sam Fender and many more. The track opens with Jeff Beck's final recording. Ringo Starr is on drums along with his son Zak Starkey. With artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles, The Who, BAND-AID Brand, Paul Weller etc), this release is a landmark in rock music history. Listen to the track (I cried throughout so be warned!): https://markknopfler.lnk.to/downloadTW and listen to my podcast with Guy Fletcher who tells the story behind it: https://linktr.ee/guyfletcher #GuyFletcher #Instrumentalist #Songwriter #Engineer #Producer #DireStraights #RoxyMusic #TinaTurner #MickJagger #MarkKnopfler #TeenageCancerTrust #Podcast #EntertainmentPodcast
