Serious sort of bloke - that was what most people thought about Angus Roxburgh, during his time in the 90s as BBC Moscow and BBC Brussels correspondent. He started with the BBC as a Russian monitor at the listening post in Caversham in 1984. Thence to the BBC Russian Service, The Guardian, and The Sunday Times - as Moscow Correspondent. A tit-for-tat expulsion, and then round the Sunday Correspondent and Guardian before a return to the Beeb.
Now the ever-vigilant Bush House network informs me he's re-emerging as a singer-songwriter - and his first album is not, as you might expect, a collection of upbeat toe-tappers. Indeed, he's chosen to make a video to go with "God Ran Out of Ideas" - " a reflection on the human evil and natural disasters that make this such an imperfect world".
Cheer yourself up with a preview of "Summer of 69" from the iTunes site.
