Neil Innes Interview. View the full interview at www.rockondigital.com

Face To Face guest Neil Innes reveals the unplanned, yet adorable account of his spontaneous and illustrious rise to success, from his humble art college roots to becoming known as one of the most prolific contributors in the fusion of music and satire for the entertainment world. Rick Wakeman probes the borderline that lay somewhere between the sheer genius and comedy of Neil Innes the man behind the music of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Monty Python and The Beatles spoof band, The Rutles.

In this rare and fascinating interview, Neil Innes lovingly recounts the methods and madness of his songwriting partnership with fellow Bonzo, Viv Stanshall, touring endlessly across both sides of the Atlantic, producing the worldwide hit 'I'm The Urban Spaceman' with Paul McCartney, collaborating with the Monty Python troupe and the raison d'être behind the creation of The Rutles, as a pastiche of The Fab Four with his good friend Eric Idle.
