Something from the Cellar: Bez

Something from the Cellar: Bez

Author: Kate Thornton June 24, 2025 Duration: 46:52

It's one of the biggest week in the UK summer, because Glastonbury's here! And to celebrate, there was only one episode we could revisit - an epic, hilarious, often heartfelt conversation with a man who's covered every literal and spiritual blade of grass at Worthy Farm: it's Bez from the Happy Mondays!


Across a lovely chat - that took the entire afternoon because Bez fell asleep beforehand and then his phone died halfway through - we hear all about his time in the Mondays and some of the scarcely believable scrapes he’s got himself into over the years. Plenty of those came at Glastonbury: ever lost your false teeth and joined a cult in the same weekend? Bez has!

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.
