In ‘Soft Lad’, Grimmy will share his outlooks, surprising obsessions, the things that have shaped him and his personal experiences with the world.The book is his latest invitation to his noisy, cosy party, one that he’s determined to continue beyond Radio 1, all of us part of the straight-through crew.
