Synopsis
Kirsty Young's castaway is the impresario and promoter Harvey Goldsmith.
From the Rolling Stones to Pavarotti, and with pretty well every other name in music in-between, he has been one of the country's top promoters for more than 40 years.
His career has given him a unique insight into music history; he was there, after all, when Keith Moon threw his first TV out of a hotel window. Always passionate about what he listened to, he acknowledges that his own instrument is the pocket calculator.
