Ally Wolf
Turning a passion for entertainment into a fulfilling career requires a certain type of dedication. Forging your own path into an industry by learning as you go is as much adventure as it is a challenge.
Today, Ally Wolf runs the Clapham Grand in London, restoring a landmark old venue to its former glory through a commitment to entertainment. He reached this point via a journey that saw him start club nights, create a record label, manage bands, coordinate hipster bingo nights and eventually side step into entertainment.
Catching up with Ally gave Andy an opportunity to spend time with one of his oldest friends and share a story that goes from Britpop to booking big names and quirky acts.

Great!
Andy is a really interesting guy. He has an obvious talent for interviewing in a relaxed way which seems to have the effect of allowing his guests to open up and talk candidly. For me, the essence of how people become driven to certain actions is fascinating, Andy clearly shares this interest and interviews in a way which delves into thought processes of these individuals.
Refreshing, Reassuring and Empowering.
I listened to the first episode of this podcast the other day and was genuinely engrossed in it from start to finish. Having worked in the film industry myself I know how hard it can be to "make it", so to hear from someone as established as Victoria and learn that she has shared in the difficulties and barriers to success that i've been confronted in my own journey, was incredibly refreshing. I now feel determined to keep pushing forward. Looking forward to the rest of the series!!
