Listen to the first thing he says... “any young people listening, don’t think this is the correct road to go on”, spot on mate.
Agreed. 👍💯
💯
This guy is 1 out of 1000 people who has an interesting story to tel and is still here in sound mind to tell it, that’s what the kids don’t realise.
And he's bang on, I've never been anywhere near this guys level, but just dealing with kilos of coke, it leads to nothing good, people die, homes get destroyed, family's tore apart, even the good times, they are good times spent waiting for the bad times, the weed game is soo much more pleasant lol 🤷♂️
Big respect mate,one of the most interesting stories I've hered Andrew fasinating to here your side of it bud, also your not a Evil guy just a likeable rouge who was very successful Andrew mate big respect bud👊😎
Never comment but this is by far the best podcast guest youve had, no stupid unbelievable stories, no over inflated ego, never claimed to kick a police van door straight off its hinges, very very intelligent man who wouldve made it to the top in probably any field
😉
Yep Andrew doesn't come across as a stereotypical Rough tough Gangster. He comes across very shrewd intelligent & cunning individual. As you say I think he's the type of character that would have done well at anything if he put his mind to it because you can tell by listening to him he has drive & ambition ( instilled in him from his parents) . I like the way he pointed out at the start of thee interview to anyone thinking about going down this route don't do it coz it will catch up with you at some point. I hope this guy stays on the straight & narrow & isn't dragged back into the life by someone dangling some carrots under his nose, but if he's anyway smart which he seems to be he'll leave that well alone. If he was to get caught again smuggling he'd be in for even bigger bird! Not worth sacrificing ones freedom noway.
In my opinion , The reason he seems normal and down to earth is because he was a lover of dance music and xtc, And had a love for the music before he fell in love with the drugs.
The xtc / Rave scene changed good people into bad people and the xtc turned bad people into good people, But the music and love for it broke down barriers,
He's not wrapped up in his own ego and insecurities like others because he's not a spoofer.
@@betterireland1 by any chance was you under the influence of ecstasy when you wrote this?
I like how James just let's his guest tell their story,and only asks questions were there needed,
😉
Yep....thats a skill!
i noticed this , it’s great not having him interrupt as you can properly visualise the story being told
You can only do this when the guest is a great story teller. Some guests can't tell stories for shit so need help with questions to draw out more information.
Glad you enjoyed the podcast. 👏 Thanks James. I see in the comments that people have some questions about myself, I am more then happy to answer some of them, just reply with the question and next week I'll post a video answering as many as I can. Thank you all for your supportive comments.
That's some story you have there bro, fair play to you for changing your life around and doing good things now🙏
Was u on about del showers
Down to earth kind of guy . Not trying to Mr big to everyone
That was a great interview and story. I remember watching the donal McIntyre documentary and to hear the full background was immense 👍
What was the funniest moment you had while in the rave scene???
Best one I’ve seen. No bravado or arrogance , just open and honest.
👍🏼
Bravado? He should be ashamed you ever seen the dark side of cocaine it's all around you
@@jamesirvine2579 Self-responsibility?? So is tobacco and alcohol!!!
@@ellielane3021 I think cocaine alters people mind a bit more than tobacco
A lot of these crime podcasts about but nobody has the interview skills like James. He knows how to let the conversation flow and follows the conversation instead of asking set questions. A great communicator 👍
They need to make a movie on this guy. Brilliant interview, articulate, intelligent and one hell of a story.
Absolute belter of an episode. Not one ounce of bullshit with this fella. What a life he’s lead.
👍🏼
Cheers 👍🏼
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen.
Andrew Pritchard Media 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This guy is a master communicator, that's why he has managed to do so many unique things.
Very smart fella.
Was looking for a comment like this well said 👍
Yeah most of the time I hear gangster interviews and they say "I could have been a legitimate businessman and millionaire if I wasn't on the streets" I think it's absolute bullshit, but this guy is clearly super astute with an amazing business mind.
Thank you for your support 👍
@@APFTV1 respect to you pal, good luck with the foundation
Highly intelligent dude, knows his Business, be successful in any avenue he chooses
100%
Only just found James, doing the binge on all his content.
What I like about James is he just lets the guests speak without interrupting to much asking good questions without judgement.
Love it cheers James for real good stuff.
What an amazing podcast. Not to slate other guests but, Andrew seems to be the only guest who truly doesn’t want the life of smuggling/crime to be glamourised. He’s lived his life (and got extremely lucky) yet, doesn’t want the youth of today getting involved in a life of crime.
Cheers James for having me on the podcast mate. Was a right good laugh and would be great to do it again sometime. Top bloke 🤝
Likewise brother 👍🏼
Great to hear your story 💯
Absolutely Phenomenal Story, and we’ll done on giving back, top man 👏
@@JamesEnglish
I would love to see him back on again.
Unless he's already been back on and I missed it.
James ‘The Postman’ just keeps delivering 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome story! James’s ability to let his guests talk and not interrupt is second to none!!! Brilliant!
😉👍🏼
88-90 unforgettable times, Tunes & Doves, beautiful people ✌
That was not just a crazy story, but a mega positive and personal testimony. And the man helped kick off the rave scene some of the best years of my life! Absolute baller
Its funny that you get some muppets like Darren Gee who thinks he's a gangster talking absolute wank. But a fella who's lived the pure life of things we can't even imagine who is such a stand up cool fella, straight up and actually real. I shall be buying his book man. He's very interesting. Good work as always James.
Best guest yet, very intelligent down to earth guy
Well composed talk, not talking to fast. Man thinks about what’s coming out his mouth, before it’s to late.
Andys an absolute legend and the most honest gezzer you’ve had on
Brilliant podcast
Ppl that know ,know simple
Hats of to ya James 10/10 this pal
Thanks pal
I’m going obviously late to the party with these interviews - but what a pair of cool customers - I can’t get enough of the interviews - James is a natural, so charismatic, respectful & compassionate - with a savvy grip on reality - top notch on every count!
This the best one for me so far, the fella came across really well, humble and honest and no bravado, blag or BS. Full respect to him, probably why he did so well as he did for so long. Cracking listen. High caliber guest James 👏🏼👏🏼
You can tell this man is so fucking intelligent and it’s very impressive. He’s played the system and the big game and got off very lightly to what he should have. Best interview i’ve watched in a very long time
The best line yet James “you get big shots on here thinking there big..there a mile off the pace”..absolutely brilliant again James
Without question the best podcast to date - loved Andrew's open and candid story. The fact its delivered without ego or provado make it so captivating , definitely needs to made into a film
THIS IS UP THERE WITH MARVIN AND QUINCY FOR ME JAMES. 💯💯💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Facts!
This was straight out the top draw - What an interesting life Andrew Pritchard's had . Well done to James, I don't think any one can do theses interviews better than he can !
Thank you
What a storyteller. This is the quietest ive seen James ever. You can tell how great of a bloke, businessman/salesman AP is.
How’s he managed to talk so long without W drink of water 💧
James get jugs of water for your guests.😂
This is the best podcast Ive ever seen on RUclips. Got nothing but the upmost respect for Andrew Pritchard after seeing this. Nice positive, true, no bull sh*t message.
James, this was absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for posting. Andrew has certainly been through it, what a life!
Just stumbled across these podcasts-gotta say they are fantastic with some really great stories told. Andrew Pritchard’s story is unbelievable and absolutely gripping. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant, loved that you sat back James without interrupting, like us as viewers as we listened in awe. What a story. Best of the lot to date and hats off. Brilliant character and so much charisma
👍🏼
Andrew seems like a genuinely nice guy good luck in the future
What a sound fella!!!! Some young ones are going to be given a gift whn he helps them in a new direction!!!! A gd bit of sound advice at the end , and it was for free!!!!??!!!! Stay bless both of ya 🙏🏻thank you Jamesy boi x❤x
45min and I'm still hooked. Guy is intelligent and humble.
Thank you!
You guys wanted off the scale then there you have it , James you have delivered
This was 1 of the best ...Andrew is a natural talker...
This in all honesty is a better story then a awarding winning Hollywood writer could come up with and it’s a true story, this needs the best of the best to get a movie done, blockbuster or what
This was a great chat James. Andrew seems like the bloke you want to spend an evening with at the pub chatting over a few pints. Well done 👍🏻
There’s been some great episodes but I think this is the best one yet. Great back story and it’s good to see Andrew having a such a positive impact now. Really smart guy could listen to his stories all day.
The Urban Smuggler - brilliant book. Top guest, bravo 👏👏
What a guy... without a doubt the best podcast I've ever listened to
This is by far the most in depth interview-you ARE smashing the scene James 👊👊
Cheers mate
Thanks James once again for an amazing podcast. This is the best one yet, he is amazingly intelligent and measured. You can tell he would've succeeded in anything he did in life. Appreciate this channel and your hard work!
Probably the best story/podcast
I have listened to so far doesn’t come
Across cocky at all or have anything to prove quite clearly business minded it massively highlights how bad the younger generation are now just running around killing for no real gain
Cheers mate
You must have an idea by now who has sat jnfront of you who’s chatting rubbish and who’s legit lol
James English.... the man that just keeps giving!!! What an interview! Had me in the zone from start to finish.Thanks geezer!! For those that use to love the rave scene this story is mega! Andrews do’s were on another level!! 🙏
Just started watching your podcasts James and I’m so impressed, definitely the best on you tube by a long way, this one was such a great watch, keep up the good work mate 👏🏼
Best interview so far, this guy is obviously the real deal unlike most of the plebs you have on here.
👍🏼
Thanks James!....... this was a great one ☝🏽 this guy delivered his story with no ego whatsoever!
brilliant! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥳
My old mans from East London Custom House he used to tell me about Genesis etc used to amaze me great to hear straight from the horses mouth fantastic episode James 👍
Cheers Craig
Incredible podcast, Andrew is my favourite guest, the real deal no big man bravado just a true story
Honeslty him and marvin are the best interviews to date. Fantastic podcast mate 👏
👍🏼
I love these podcasts..listening to real stories is riveting..there’s a common theme in all of them ..brutal honesty regret and humbleness...this fella comes over as very sincere great work James English 👍
This has got to be the best podcast by far , sound guy .
He’s gotta make a film through from the 70s growing up through the 80 and 90’s up until present day, top top film. Right director
and it’s another British classic!!!!!!
This is my favourite podcast you have done. Great guest doesn't glamorise it at all just keeps it real. well done.
I used to work with this man is Essex, doing music promotion, he's a good man
Nice one
This is an amazing interview, well done guys. Thanks for sharing Andy
l have been watching these podcasts for a couple of weeks. My mental health has benefitted greatly. Thank you.
A truly riveting conversation... Hooked from start to finish👌🏾
loved the chat about the rave scene you need to get more guys that was involved in this
What a good gust, tells he’s story so well, big up James English, it just flows, no interruptions, definitely the best pod caster of this type.👍🏼👍🏼
What a great interview.....stayed up till stupid o'clock watching it....was well and truly glued
I'm dead against what criminals do and the destruction they cause to the wider community, but you can't help but like this guy. He speaks well, very charismatic, so it's like bitter sweet for me. At least he owns up to what he has caused through his drug smuggling and he's trying to help people from going into this life of pain and misery. Good podcast that. All the best Andrew
What a life this guy has lived! Absolutely incredible.. starting the warehouse rave scene has to be one of the best things to be able to say you created 🙏
Yes, absolutely incredible, isn't it? Yet he's so humble and down to earth. Love how he immediately expressed that his life of smuggling is not one to follow. He had a beautiful GF/wife back when he was sentenced, I wonder if they're still together, lemme know, anyone
Excellent interview James. This is in my top 3 of yours mate.
I worked at Spectrum as a doorman in Villiers Street in Charing Cross when the rave scene had just started, but used to print the flyers when I work in Maddox Street W1, always wonder what happened to the lads I did stuff for? Great days!
You will go far James I love the positivety that you bring to people. Happy Sunday to you and yours... Keep shining
Thanks brother
One of your best podcasts and guests, truly fascinating.
One of the best.. can’t wait for what’s coming James 👌🏼 keep up the good good work.
One of the best podcasts yet AP seems a great guy. He’s on here for all the right reasons 2 minutes in he makes great message to the young ones listening and finishes of giving great advice in studying
I’ve watched nearly all your video, James but this is one of your best ever. This is a guy who really made it to the top of the drug world and the bigger you are the harder you fall. Death or prison is all you achieve and misery for your family. Incredible story and insight but again, drugs ruin every life and the money gets taken away
Brilliant interview James , thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish . Andrew is pure class not one bit of boasting or showing off and a positive message he had for the youth , stay away from crime to prevent misery .🙏🙏
👍🏼
Cracking interview. Proper fella with a proper story . Loved it and massive respect to Andrew x
We need a film 🎥 of this guys life .wat a guy and imo a genuine guy despite wat he's done
That was a mesmerising watch. Could not stop watching. Refreshing honest and good interview all round.
👍🏼
You know it's a good story when the hours feel like just a few minutes!
👍🏼
I agree... Great interview, this has to be up there with one of James best yet.!!
Andrew and wanye threw some of the most legendery parties...good memories of them...Good luck in the future projects
You’re smashing it we’ve these podcasts James another top guest respect to him for turning it around
Anyone else just spend 2h 20 mins glued?
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you james your interviewing technique's are second to none,This gentleman's story is superb! 10/10
Thanks Scott
One of the best podcasts so far. Really enjoyed this one
One of the best ones ive seen in a while, great work James keep entertaining us
The absolute real deal !! No swagger, no bullshit, no pretence. Man enough to face the past with no excuses and show others the error of his ways.
Well done Sir !!!!
I’m surprised it took this long for this guy to do a podcast his story is like some crazy film
I was at Sunsplash Clapham Common 1989. In my French connection Rupert the Bear suit. Cool at the time. I recall a bunch of young black boys steaming through the crowd with lumps of 2 x 3 wood. A space openned up around me and the little scroats clocked me, South London bouncer working in the Gin Palace, Old Kent Road and they went the other way LOL.
I used to work near Oxford house in Bethnel Green. Right next to Weaver’s Fields. It’s still there now although it’s probably changed a lot from 1987/88.
Easily the best podcast been done by James. Absolutely superb.
What a bloke first time I've been able to sit down and listen to a whole interview and be captured by a man's words god bless you and the rest of your journey
The best, most interesting, switched on guest you have ever had on.
How much cleaner as it gotta be b4 it sinks into the mindset of today’s youth. Andrew as told a story of misery destruction and regret. He was lucky he came out the other side alive. Deception jealousy informants, describes the criminal fraternity in 3 words. My dad said to get nice things in life you have to work for them, he’s 80 today n came to England from Jamaica in 1959, worked the same job until he retired at 63, he installed the same work ethic into my mindset at 17, even though he was divorced from my mother. I’ve passed the same work ethic onto my 25yr old and 13 yr old daughters. The working man will always be a winner. Who really wants to spend years of their life behind bars to achieve getting nice things. Health and family are worth more than any amount of money 🏴🇬🇧🇯🇲
Well said
well said, just a shame now days people get millions from putting videos on youtube of them doing nothing worthwile.
@@cfcwhit3247 it’s not a shame ! They provide entertainment for people so they clearly deserve the money if there popular enough to make a good living out of it.
What a fantastic podcast and what a crazy life Andrew has lived
It’s great to know just how much he’s turned his life around
Andrew seems a top lad and very intelligent. Just say to go then sit back and listen. A lot more interesting than the pancakes you usually have on James 😂👍👊
Actually grew up for a little while in the same part of London. Never ceases to amaze (legalities) aside how intelligent and awesome moral compasses are of safe made people who come from inner cities determined to make their way in the world. When in the future all drugs are legalised it will be awesome if such CEO's are made from the legacy and cloth of gentlemen as such.
Great interview James. I Echo the other comments that it’s rare for an interviewer to let the interviewee speak - it’s a skill. Love these vids.
Amazing interview ... Andrew you have always been a genuine individual with genius goals, ambition and succeeded. But I'm proud of you now the most with how your using your experience to help and make a difference in young peoples lives.
You can't help but be impressed by the interviewing skills of some podcaster hosts. Nowhere near the training that those in the mainstream have had and very good natural active listening skills. No pushing guests in a direction that's suits and guests just open up. Impressive stuff that the mainstream could learn from.
One of my favorite pods so far James, quality again
Thanks Danny
One of my favourite podcasts I've ever watched, was hooked right through, incredible story and the way it was told was perfect, great job Andrew and James!
Cheers luke
