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,
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.
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.
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 👍
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.
James ‘The Postman’ just keeps delivering 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome story! James’s ability to let his guests talk and not interrupt is second to none!!! Brilliant!
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
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 👏🏼👏🏼
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 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.
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
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 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 !
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.
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.
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 👍🏻
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
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.
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.
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
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!! 🙏
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!
Another deadly interview from the king of the podcasts! Andrews humility and redemption is incredible and his journey of atonement to right his wrongs is inspirational af
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 .🙏🙏
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 👍
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
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
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
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
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
What a journey ! Within a journey within a journey ! What a way to learn about greed , ego and stupidity, good to see the mans still alive to now help others , positive vibes and thanks for the interview.
Can’t wait for this one .. read his book years back .. what a character .. one of the true pioneers of the British rave scene in the 80s .. he was making huge money in the 80s
@@JamesEnglish yes it is I just said the same....usually I'm.put off by long podcasts but never when they're yours. Your longer ones seem not long enough sometimes like with marv....but then you did a part 2 so.happy days
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
Well James that was another 2-hours and 20 minutes of gripping story what a man is story unbelievable and the way he's turning his life around now well done James keep it up bad more gripping stories
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 !!!!
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 👍
Best one this probably the most big time guest you’ve had but also seems so genuine a lot of people who have done what he has done would have a chip on there shoulder but he’s the complete opposite , loved this Jimmy💙
I read this guys books years ago he's a fantastic author as well as an incredible speaker..phenomenal recall and no boasting,face tatoos or other hardman nonsense.
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 🤷♂️

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!!!

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???
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.
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.
Only just found James, doing the binge on all his content.

What a storyteller. This is the quietest ive seen James ever. You can tell how great of a bloke, businessman/salesman AP is.
