  1. Sir Matthew Bourne

    PRIJE 1 D

    Sir Matthew Bourne

    Sir Matthew Bourne's reimaginings of classic works like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Carmen have become legendary, and have transformed our ideas of what dance, and what theatre, are capable of. In this in-depth conversation, Gyles finds out about Sir Matthew's origin story, from his childhood days putting on shows for the neighbours on his street, to his teenage years, spent autograph-hunting in London's West End with his best friend, Simon. Matthew also talks about his circuitous route to dance school and we find out about the current tour of Matthew's famous Swan Lake. Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake is at The Lowry, Salford from 19 November until 30 November, ahead of the 8-week annual Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells from 3 December 2024 to 26 January 2025. It then goes on a UK tour for Spring 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    More Rosebud... Gyles's diary, episode 4: the first half of 1961 - Gyles's last two terms at prep school.

    Another treat for you today, as Gyles carries on reading from his childhood diaries and discusses things with Harriet. In this chapter we join Gyles as he prepares to leave his prep school, Betteshanger, in Kent. Gyles performs in Twelfth Night, strikes up a friendship with the man who works the school boiler, becomes a prefect and spends his easter holidays being a waiter in a hotel in Bournemouth. Quite a busy schedule for someone who is only just 13! We hope you enjoy these diary episodes - we're getting a lot of great feedback - so I think you are! We're planning to carry on with the diary, in chronological order, on Tuesdays. If you'd like to write to us, please email hello@rosebudpodcast.com. We love hearing from you.

    Michael Ball and Alfie Boe

    This week we welcome the singers Michael Ball and Alfie Boe. Ball and Boe have been singing together for ten years, and are about to release their sixth album, but in this conversation Gyles takes them right back to the beginning. We hear about Alfie's childhood, growing up as the youngest in a family of nine in a council house in the north-west, about how he was discovered as he sang to himself at work as a mechanic, about his first girlfriend and the death of his father. Michael tells Gyles about his unhappy school days, his wild years at drama school in Guildford and the amazing first night of Les Mis at The Barbican. This is a warm, funny and sometimes touching conversation with two great musicians. 'Together at Home', Michael and Alfie's new album, is out now. Their UK arena tour is in March and April 2025, with a date at the O2 on April 13th 2025. Tickets are on sale now at livenation.co.uk. Learn more about your ad choices.

    More... Elizabeth McGovern

    Today on More Rosebud Gyles talks to the American actress, singer-songwriter and star of Downton Abbey Elizabeth McGovern. In this conversation they talk about Elizabeth's childhood in a Bohemian and bookish household - first in Illinois and then in Los Angeles. They talk about the formative friendship of her adolescence. They talk about her sudden rise to fame: she was discovered as a teenager and cast in Robert Redford's Oscar-winning debut, Ordinary People; and they talk about the effect of fame on a young person. Gyles and Elizabeth also discuss how she met and married her British film-director husband, Simon Curtis, moved to London and started a family. And they talk about Downton, Elizabeth's music... and much more besides. Thank you, Elizabeth, for this fascinating conversation.

    Prue Leith

    This week we welcome the restaurateur, entrepreneur, cook, writer and judge of Great British Bake Off Prue Leith onto Rosebud. Prue tells Gyles about her childhood, growing up under apartheid in South Africa; she reveals how she joined the boy scouts, became president of the tree-climbing club, and confronted the headmistress at her religious school with a shocking revelation. She and Gyles talk about her year in Paris learning French, the lightbulb moment in which she discovered her love of food, and the early years of setting up her first restaurant in London. This is a fascinating conversation about a fascinating, and boldly lived, life. Prue's book 'Life's Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom' is out now, published by Quarto, and is a great Christmas present.

Kate's historical novels have been global hits, and her much-loved classic Labyrinth is 20 next year. She talks to Gyles about her new book, The Map of Bones, the final novel in her series The Joubert Family Chronicles, which, it turns out, is set in a town in South Africa where Gyles once considered buying a house! But more than that, Gyles and Kate discuss Kate's first memories, her happy childhood growing up to loving and community-minded parents in a close family in West Sussex, where she still lives today. She tells Gyles about her first love, Greg, whom she later re-met on a train, and eventually married. She talks to Gyles about her love of being a granny, and how poleaxed she was by the sudden death of her mother. Thanks to Kate for this fascinating conversation.
