Lee Davy sits down with the President of partypoker LIVE, John Duthie, to talk about Northern self-effacing humour marketing, circuses, amusement parks and much more. 

I know I’m going deaf. A specialist told me during a railway medical, many moons ago. And yet, there is only one way to listen to Storm 3000, and that’s so loud you think there’s a bald Turk inside your ear peeling the meat off your drum and turning it into a kebab. And so here I sit, with my breastplate jingling and jangling, a ridiculous trade-off between a musical shot of meth versus the heavy breath of my daughter.

And then, out of nowhere, the voice of Rob Yong pops into my head.

“DTD is a shed on a retail park in Nottingham; there is no beach.”
