I'm Buzznight and I host the Taking a Walk podcast, music history on foot and audio diary of inside stories from the people behind the music. Check out our upcoming episode with def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife Lauren Monroe.

The special thing about playing that particular show, it was my sixteenth birthday, and I remember Bond Scott coming up to me and wishing me a happy birthday, which doesn't happen to too many people's. After soundcheck, I went down just to check on my drum kit and there was this guy on his hands and knees checking.

Out the drums and he turned round and it was Mitch Mitchell.

Well, I found my musical voice when I was really young. I started writing songs and I got a guitar when I was five, and it just it's like I knew, I knew how to express myself in that way very easily at a young age.
