John Slater started life in stage management, then became an award winning DJ on BRMB radio in Birmingham, interviewing 1,500 rock musicians on air. His final gig was compering the 1991 Donington festival in front of a 75,000-strong crowd, with AC/DC and Metallica headlining. He went on to tour manage bands – and then did the honourable thing and walked out on rock ‘n’ roll to return to the theatre. He is now a freelance production manager with a penchant for snazzy hats and a love of architecture. Angela Meredith met up with him in the Great Court of the British Museum to admire the view and chat about his career.
