Brian Clough interviews Johhny Cash.
So who would Johnny Cash choose to interview ?
What was his advice on drugs and alcohol abuse?
And how did he look upon religion and faith?
Twenty two years ago he sat face to face with country music DJ Brian Clough and talked about his life and experiences.
The interview, the only one granted by the legendary singer before he took to the stage at an open air show in South Shields on September 1 1987 provides a fascinating snapshot of the life of an international icon.
The reel to reel tapes were recently rediscovered by Brian who has put modern technology to work to restore them to near perfect condition. Add a little re-editing and some of the great man’s music and you have a show not to missed.
The Johnny Cash interview will be broadcast in two parts on euVue starting on Saturday, September 12th the sixth anniversary of his death and followed by a second show on Sunday.
“I was working for a local radio station and was the only broadcaster given access to Johnny. The interview was subsequently broadcast a week or so later on the country show for which I was the presenter/producer.”
“As with most broadcasts it was soon forgotten and ‘lost’ along with many other recorded items. I came across the tapes whilst clearing out my music archives recently and listened again after all those years.
Now, with the aid of modern technology I have restored the interview to near perfect condition and re-edited and added some of the great man’s music. I think it is a wonderful tribute and commemoration of his life to be shared with his army of fans and music lovers everywhere.”
The complete interview will go live on www.euvue.co.uk at 8am (GMT ) on Saturday September 12. Log on any time after that to hear John R Cash talking about his life, his music and his religion.
“On a personal note I still have to pinch myself when I realise that I was honoured to speak to such a famous musical icon who has left a wonderful contribution not only to country music but to the world. It is an experience I shall never forget,” said Brian.

Best wishes,”
Brian Clough.

Glad you’re still “on air”, Brian. Loved the Johnny Cash show. If I closed my eyes I could have been back in the late 80s, when we were all a lot younger and JRC was still with us. Rock on, Brian. Looking forward to the online American Country show, online next week. Cheers, Mike (n Kath)
Hi Brian, How you doing? It was really good to listen to your interview with Johnny Cash,what a very memorable occasion it must have been for you. I can’t believe I missed the show in the Bents Park, as we were on holiday at the time. We’ve been watching his tv shows on the Sky Arts channel, four of them last night, and they were so wonderful to watch. The songs I particularly liked in your interview were Teenage Queen, Where did we go right, without love, my God is real, and Sunday Morning Sidewalk. It’s good to still be able to keep in touch through euvue website, and I look forward to your show on Saturdays. Warm wishes, Ann Smith.
Many Thanks for the Johnny Cash interview I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward eagerly to part 2.
I am also pleased to learn that you are becoming a regular feature on EUVUE each Saturday.Its good to be able to keep in touch Brian and to be able to share, what has become for me a lifetime passion.(as Im sure applies to yourself.Keep it COUNTRY WALTER.
