Lucian Camp, Lucian Camp Consulting

1. What was the first record you ever bought?
With The Beatles

2. What has been the most rewarding moment of your career to date?
Being invited to form a band with Dave Heeney and Andy Couchman

3. What is your favourite film, and why?That insightful documentary into the rock'n'roll lifestyle This Is Spinal Tap. Bizarrely, some people seem to think it's some kind of comedy

4. What is it like being in a band with Andy Couchman and Dave Heeney?
A bit like being in a band with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, only with a stronger financial services angle

5.

(To the extent that this silly expression is true, it's true because we're pretty good at selling it but mostly absolutely hopeless at making it easy to buy)
