Show Notes
In only a matter of a few short years, but with plenty of hard work, Felix White and his close friends saw their bedroom band The Maccabees play gigs and festivals across the world and have a number one album. What though, propelled Felix forward?
It was through writing his brilliant autobiography that examines his love of cricket alongside the loss of his mother as a teenager, that Felix truly began to answer questions he has asked himself for years. It’s a book that you don’t need to be a cricket fan to pickup and love.
Post The Macabees, Felix has also become a podcast host on the hugely successful Tailenders alongside England’s record wicket taker Jimmy Anderson and Radio 1 breakfast show host, Greg James. Much like his music, the podcast has allowed Felix a sense of community which he adores.
