Manacled

The start of what promises to be a long, intriguing week manicled to Graham Sheffield, the British Council's Global Director of Arts who's visiting for a week. He's fairly new to the BC - 18 months - but has an interesting career behind him: BBC Radio, Head of Music at the South Bank Centre (he initiated Meltdown), Artistic Director at the Barbican (he still has a flat there)... Picked him up at the airport with the rest of the day spent in the office, meeting my team, discussing strategy etc, before a dinner with some curators. Nice easy guy to spend time with, which is just as well...
