What happened
BUT from Day 6's mum call, Ollie went to a booker night at the upstairs room of a pub near Old Street on Monday, the kind of night where a man called Bill runs it and the chairs face the wrong way. Marcus Pryce was there — dropped in, mate, see how the next generation is going — and sat in the third row with his arms folded while Ollie did the Northern line bit and the new Radox bit. After the set Pryce came up to him at the bar, said the Radox bit's got a cold open, you just haven't found it yet, and walked away, and Ollie had stood there watching Pryce work the room — Pryce knew Bill, the barman, two bookers by name. The smallness of his own name in that room hit him like weather, and he decided, leaving, that Pryce would not be in the room for anything that mattered.
