Episode 5: Bob Chirmside - the man who kept Bruce's show on the road (and had to cook for him too)

Bob Chirmside was Bruce's Road Manager and room-mate between 1976 and 1981. In this time, he describes his role as a 'glorified babysitter' for Bruce effectively doing everything from organising tours, cooking for him and actually living with him! Bob recalls some amazing stories from the road which will have you laughing throughout this episode.  Find out the truth behind the defaced Darkness billboard. What was life like in the big house on Telegraph Hill, especially during band rehearsals? And don't miss the hilarious story about how Bob and George Travis were almost sacked for trying to think 'outside the box' to create special effects for one concert!
