Musician Sacha Puttnam s biggest money mistake was leaving rock band Bush before they made it big and sold 50million records.
The son of award-winning film producer Lord Puttnam was a teenager at boarding school when his father made Chariots Of Fire. After leaving Bush, he wrote and scored music for numerous prestigious films.
Sacha spoke to Donna Ferguson from his home in West London. His new album with the Classical Film Orchestra, Spirit Of The Cinema, is out now.
Hope: Sacha Puttnam says royalties are his pension
What did your parents teach you about money?
That it is a lubricant. You use it to educate yourself and get more work. My father had a photography business before he became a film producer, so I grew up surrounded by models and photographers.
