  Damon Gough, aka Badly Drawn Boy, was Lord Crowley of Pop's special Easter Saturday guest on BBC London 94.9.
Badly Drawn Boy
Did you know? Damon wishes he'd written - "Ruby by Kenny Rogers"
'Eccentric', 'idiosyncratic' and 'genius' - are all words that have been used to describe the Mercury Prize-winning Mancunian songsmith.

The cat in the hat talked to Gary about songwriting, his sudden success, winning the Mercury Prize and the problem with touring.
