Chris Catchpole
Chris Catchpole is MOJO’s Digital Editor and has been part of the MOJO extended universe ever since he wandered into the office as a work experience with a headful of dreams and a satchel-ful of Smile bootlegs. Chris was previously the Reviews Editor at MOJO’s fallen sister title Q Magazine and has contributed reviews, interviews and cover features to a number of titles, including The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Record Collector and Apple Music. Over the past 15 years, Chris has been luckily enough to interview pretty much all of his musical heroes including Paul Weller, Kevin Rowland (there's Kevin looking thrilled with Chris above), George Clinton, Johnny Marr and a surprisingly tactile 50 Cent. None of which quite compete in terms of surprise/shock value to being forced into an impromptu yoga session by an irate Goldie while wearing skin-tight jeans. Chris also puts out twice weekly music substack The New Cue alongside fellow MOJO contributors Ted Kessler and Niall Doherty.
