John McGrath interview - please send in your questions

Hi everyone, I'm doing an interview with John McGrath on Friday. I thought it would be great to offer the NTW community the chance to send me questions they would like to ask John. Now that NTW are at the halfway point of their mammoth first year it is a great opportunity to talk about the year so far. Please send questions to simon@simonclodefilms.com or message me on the site.
