William Byles

Dream job when you were a child: I alternated every two weeks between footballer and zoologist. Favorite 90's song: The first single I ever bought was Country House by Blur and my first album was Big Willy Style by Will Smith. Both have aged remarkably well. Batman vs Spiderman: Who would win & why? It depends whether they have time to prepare. If no, then Superman would win because he’s actually super, whereas Batman is just some rich guy with an obliging butler. If yes, then Batman would win as he’d just send Robin out for some Kryptonite. What would you do with 1,000,000 €? Buy a flat in Berlin and get a bespoke suit on Saville Row. Anything left I’d put on black. If you could invite anyone to present with you on stage who would it be (dead or alive)? Anthony Bourdain. I worked in kitchens when I was younger and loved his writing and his energy. There are so many questions I’d like to ask him about his travels, music and of course food. It would take the form of a Q&A and would probably be more interesting for me than the audience! Imagine you are an animal, which one would you be – and why? I’d like to think I’d be a Jaguar; quick, deadly and elegant. In realty however, I’ve probably got more in common with a Flamingo or Dodo.
