Boff Whalley from Chumbawamba - Let it Be

Welcome to our conversation with the Musician and Artist Boff Whalley.  Boff was formerly the lead-guitarist of British anarchist punk band Chumbawumba. Best known for their 1997 single "Tubthumping".

Boff grew up in Burnley, in a Morman family. 

He embraced the art and punk scenes, experimented with different types of music, and with his anarchist mates from the squat formed Chumbawumba which became famous for Tubthumping and pouring water over John Prescott at the 1998 Brits. 

Chumbawumba, unusually, seem to have navigated their way through an industry with their values intact. 

It's a fascinating story where Boff and others seem to have found a way to balance being oneself with being part of a group . . . and thrived.
