NEW EPISODE: Blur Drummer Dave Rowntree

NEW EPISODE: Blur Drummer Dave Rowntree

Author: Kate Thornton May 14, 2026 Duration: 30:49

Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the first gig on Mars... no really!


It's a fascinating chat, and if Blur's music has played a part in your life - drop us a note to let us know what you thought of the episode - you can email hello@whitewinepod.com


Cheers

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
