Jessie Ware

Hello and welcome to Table Manners.

I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here at my house with Lenny, sitting opposite me.

Here I am, yeah.

Stuck in the middle with you.

Oh, you

liked it.

Jessie, I don't think, survived that.

Well, you kind of realise that...

Now in management, so manages Jessie Ware and Goldfrap and Jake Shears and lots of lovely people.

But...

So it's funny.

Olivia Dean, there's a bit of Amy in her DNA, even though they're very different performers.

Hello and welcome to Table Manners.

I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here with Mum.

And I honestly didn't even want to go see Jesse Ware because I was still like in this weird Confessions 2 bubble.

Why am I spending the money? But I couldn't resell the ticket.

You rightfully call him the godfather of British pop.

Today, you will know him as the big boss at Fascination, managing Girls Aloud, Steps, Jessie Ware, Scissor Sisters, Will Young, Alison Goldfrapp, and so many icons.

The time that we're talking to Peter about, he was marketing director at Polydor.

And he worked closely with Simon Fuller and 19 Management for Rachel's project.

[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Table Manners.

I'm Jessie Ware, and we're in Mom's kitchen for, well, you are so excited, Mom.

I'm so excited.

I'm a super fan verging on stalker.

It wasn't a beach before.

They kind of created it for the, for the film, and then it became the Mamma Mia beach.

But Jessie also was in, um, a Mamma Mia, choosing, uh, someone to appear in Mamma Mia, so she knows Judy Craymer very well.

Yes.

me...

It's Salute and Jessie Ware, nonetheless.

Heaven in your arms.

Oh, yes.

Oh,

love.

We need to interview Jessie Ware, her fabulous Table Manners podcast, which you got me into.
