Really pleased that the Bold and the Brave concept is heading over to Leeds too. In Julian Kynaston there’s none better to kick off the series there. Lots for Sheryl Moore to talk to him about. His book, his early years on the football terraces, GHD, the much admired Propaganda Agency Ltd and much more besides. 👍👍👍🍿
