It can be nerve wracking finding yourself on the other side of the couch or phone from someone internationally - or even just nationally - well known. It's particularly terrifying if they're either a fellow journalist (you wander off afterwards examining all the stupid questions you asked, thinking how daft they must reckon you are). And it's equally frightening when it's an acclaimed writer who you know will probably view your work with a critical and ruthless eye.
Thankfully most interviews come and go without drama or incident. And sometimes writing them isn't as bad as at first seems. Best memories for me are the two interviews with the guys from Nazareth... hilarious, real characters with larger than life stories to tell.
Next up come some well known names, faces and, hopefully, a few unfamiliar tales.
