with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. Tonight's guest is an artist whose

:00:22.:00:27.

work is so sought after that one of his paintings, here it is, sold for

:00:27.:00:33.

$1 million. It did! He is also in a band that you might have heard of,

:00:33.:00:36.

they are called the Rolling Stones. That is not why he is here to talk

:00:36.:00:45.

about tonight? No. Please welcome, Mr Ronnie Wood. YES! Great to have

:00:46.:00:54.

you. We are delighted you have come on to adjudicate our One Show

:00:54.:00:58.

competition. It was a BBC art competition that kick-started your

:00:58.:01:03.

confidence really as a painter, wasn't it? That is right. Back in

:01:03.:01:10.

the da day the only thing we had on the telly art wise was Adrian Hill.

:01:10.:01:17.

This is one of my entrants for his weekly television show. I actually

:01:17.:01:22.

won the competition one week and then he had an exhibition up in High

:01:22.:01:28.

Wycombe. I was asked to attend. My mum came along. It was like a big

:01:28.:01:35.

deal. My friends used to say, "I saw your painting on the telly?" Were

:01:35.:01:42.

you more into art or music then? was into both equally. Because there

:01:42.:01:47.

was this bloke called Bert Weedoon as well - We have a film about him

:01:47.:01:54.

later. He unfortunately died last year. We had Bert Weedoon's Easy Way

:01:54.:02:03.

to Play Guitar, that I didn't pay notice of and Adrian Hill - How To

:02:03.:02:08.

Paint. Which I did take notice of. It Let us look at some of your

:02:08.:02:18.
:02:18.:02:18.

paintings. Here we go. That is not the Beggar's Banquet. Let us move

:02:18.:02:28.
:02:28.:02:31.

on. That is an etching. That is a detail from - The Ivy.Then the

:02:31.:02:36.

Beggar's Banquet. Were you surprised when it got to $1 million. I had a

:02:36.:02:43.

dedicated doctor in Florida who has 60 of my originals. His wife said,

:02:43.:02:47.

"please don't let him buy any more of your paintings there is no room

:02:47.:02:53.

in the house." They have built an extension now. Phil is with our four

:02:53.:03:00.

finalists of the One Show Art Competition. Give us an idea of how

:03:00.:03:04.

this competition worked? We started in June. We had 700 entries which

:03:04.:03:09.

the judges had to bring down to a shortlist of 24. Which can be seen

:03:09.:03:19.

at the Open Centre Media Centre Salford Quays. We brought it down to

:03:19.:03:22.

four finalists. They had a new challenge with the theme of summer

:03:22.:03:29.

in Britain. Ronnie has to choose the winner. No pressure! Indeed an

:03:29.:03:35.

honour. You haven't got long to choose your winner. Before all of

:03:35.:03:39.

that, Lucy Seigle has been in Kirby to find out whether 18,000 people

:03:39.:03:43.

have a case for compensation in what could be the biggest class action

:03:43.:03:47.

that this country has ever seen. Imagine living next door to this.

:03:47.:03:57.
:03:57.:03:58.

This is the wood chip factory in Kirby ablaze in June in 2011.

:03:58.:04:03.

Firefighters got the blaze under control, for thousands of residents

:04:03.:04:06.

who live nearby they say this is when their problems began. It's

:04:07.:04:11.

understood up to 18,000 residents here in Kirby are claiming the

:04:11.:04:15.

fallout from the fire has left them with long-term damage to their

:04:15.:04:19.

health. Now, they are clubbing together to bring what could be one

:04:19.:04:25.

of Britain's largest ever legal cases. One of those making a claim

:04:25.:04:31.

is retired school teacher Antony Richards. He lives just 700 meters

:04:31.:04:37.

from the factory in the Northwood area of Kirby. When it started to

:04:37.:04:40.

get bad, it was impossible to get dressed because I didn't have the

:04:40.:04:49.

energy. I was getting breathless. That is what I got scared about.

:04:49.:04:53.

Although Antony struggled with asthma in the past, he lived an

:04:53.:04:57.

active lifestyle. Since the fire he says it is significantly worse,

:04:57.:05:03.

visiting hospital twice a week. How confident are you, Antony, that your

:05:03.:05:09.

health problems are linked to the plant? So find yourself going from

:05:09.:05:13.

one condition, prior to the fire, and feeling great, I think it's more

:05:13.:05:18.

than a coincidence. And the other residents allege that during the

:05:18.:05:24.

fire plumes of harmful smoke were discharged into the air directly

:05:24.:05:28.

over their homes nearby. Some claims are for cancer, others for skin

:05:28.:05:33.

rashes, eye problems and breathing difficulties. It felt like the air

:05:33.:05:36.

was thick. When you took a breath you could taste different things in

:05:37.:05:41.

your breath. The fire was uncomfortable. Few weeks after the

:05:41.:05:47.

fire Paul went to hospital with a collapsed lung. Medically this can

:05:47.:05:51.

occur at any time. Paul is convinced the fumes from the fire were behind

:05:51.:05:56.

it. What point did you link the collapsed lung and the symptoms to

:05:56.:06:01.

the fire? I had never had problems with my lungs ever. If you win

:06:01.:06:06.

compensation, out of this lawsuit, people might say sinically you are

:06:06.:06:11.

jumping on the bandwagon, what would you say to that? I'm not jumping on

:06:11.:06:14.

to no bandwagon. I want my life back to normal. I want to run, play

:06:14.:06:18.

football and go out with my kids, not have the fear of my lung popping

:06:18.:06:22.

every minute. None of the official bodies who you think would know

:06:22.:06:26.

could tell us if there had been an increase of health complaints

:06:26.:06:32.

following the fire in 2011. The council say they have not had an

:06:32.:06:37.

increase of breathing problems in the area. The representing the

:06:37.:06:41.

18,000 residents is this solicitor. He is convinced he could establish

:06:41.:06:47.

the fire was responsible for causing or exacerbating his clients' health

:06:47.:06:51.

problems. How do you know whose cases are credible, whose are likely

:06:51.:06:54.

and who is really affected by the fact they hated this place and

:06:54.:06:58.

everyone is talking about it? Clearly, you are eluding to the

:06:58.:07:03.

compensation culture. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that we

:07:03.:07:08.

have verified the bona fide of our cohort of claimants. With due

:07:08.:07:13.

respect, you stand to gain from it? It's not about what gain there is

:07:13.:07:16.

for us or any other solicitors involved, it's about giving these

:07:16.:07:23.

people access to justice and making sure they get the compensation

:07:23.:07:28.

commensurate with the symptoms they experienced. Since it opened the

:07:28.:07:32.

Sonae factory has had a chequered history. It has been find and

:07:32.:07:35.

prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment

:07:35.:07:41.

Agency. Sonae declined to be interviewed or comment. They have

:07:41.:07:47.

denied any connection between the factory and ill health. Antony says

:07:48.:07:51.

he is not doing it for money, he wants recognition that the fire was

:07:51.:07:55.

behind his health problems and he wants to convince the court to find

:07:55.:08:00.

in his favour. I'm not saying for one moment I wouldn't accept

:08:00.:08:04.

compensation for a deterioration in my health. I would like the people

:08:04.:08:09.

responsible to be taken to task, you know, people need to be held

:08:09.:08:13.

responsible. Take ownership of the problem. Justice issue?Justice more

:08:13.:08:19.

than anything. If there is no compensation, so be it. Give us an

:08:19.:08:24.

update then, what is the latest on this case? The company in question

:08:24.:08:26.

have admitted liability but not causation. They won't accept that

:08:26.:08:30.

anything that happened at the factory affected anybody in the

:08:30.:08:33.

surrounding area. So all the lawyers have asked for claimants to come

:08:33.:08:37.

forward. They need to submit their claim by the end of November, sounds

:08:37.:08:40.

like a long way off, that includes their medical records. It takes a

:08:40.:08:44.

bit of time. Experts say we could look at a trial June to September

:08:44.:08:49.

next year. This time next year could be a trial. We heard the statement

:08:49.:08:53.

in the film this isn't a compensation culture gone mad. There

:08:53.:08:56.

are a lot of people out there claiming at the moment, aren't

:08:56.:09:01.

there? There are an awful lot. That is an interesting one, isn't it, the

:09:01.:09:04.

phrase "compensation culture" I looked at a report last months

:09:04.:09:07.

talking about compensation for injury in the workplace. That has

:09:07.:09:12.

gone by 60% over the last 10 years. We tend to think every time we hear

:09:12.:09:16.

of one of these cases, we are letting the genie out of the bottle,

:09:16.:09:20.

are we? We have a different set up here to America. The legal system is

:09:20.:09:24.

to different that it makes it quite hard to launch these compensation

:09:24.:09:28.

suits and these class actions. The reason there are so many here, you

:09:28.:09:32.

could argue, is because the way our laws configured, I won't go into, we

:09:32.:09:37.

haven't all night, it means you have to individually become a claimant.

:09:37.:09:41.

You have to come forward. You can't come forward and say - I live in

:09:41.:09:45.

that general area. No, class actions aren't that common in the UK, are

:09:45.:09:49.

they? No. I was thinking about it before. I can count on one hand the

:09:49.:09:53.

number I can recall. One of which we did in 2008 on the show that was

:09:53.:09:57.

about people taking nearly 5,000 people took furniture retailers to

:09:57.:10:01.

court in a class action. They are quite rare. I think they were

:10:01.:10:05.

popular in immediate evil times. Since then our gisties system is

:10:05.:10:09.

about the individual. America is much more about class actions and

:10:09.:10:14.

group litigations. Thank you, Lucy. Intl when you think of the world's

:10:14.:10:23.

greatest guitarists you think of Ronnie, Jimi, Keith, Eric, Slash

:10:23.:10:26.

Carrie found out there might not have been any of those who wasn't

:10:26.:10:32.

first for a Bert. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I want to

:10:32.:10:37.

begin my show by playing for you a tune that is over 1,000 years old.

:10:37.:10:41.

There is nothing like being up-to-date, is there? He might not

:10:41.:10:44.

look or even sound like a rock-and-roll legend, you may not

:10:44.:10:49.

even know his name, but Bert Weedoon was the man who taught Britain how

:10:49.:10:57.

to play guitar. Boy, did we learn to rock. Guitar went from being

:10:57.:11:02.

something very much in the background in the dance band era,

:11:02.:11:07.

somebody would be chomping away like that. Probably inoddibly, you know,

:11:07.:11:16.

in rock-and-roll. It was turned on its head, guitar was at the front.

:11:16.:11:20.

You know, wow this is really exciting. Bert realised that the

:11:20.:11:25.

time was on the cusp of the old going into the new. He had the

:11:25.:11:28.

vision to be able to get into the new and get you into the new as

:11:29.:11:38.

well. In 1959 Bert became the first British solo guitarist to hit the

:11:38.:11:44.

singles chart with Guitar Boogie Shuffle. Joe Brown is known in the

:11:44.:11:54.

business as the musicians musician. He was a close friend of Bert's.

:11:54.:11:59.

was an invole vative musician. You won't find a guitar player who

:12:00.:12:09.
:12:10.:12:12.

hasn't a good word to say about him. He influenced everybody. His most

:12:12.:12:18.

endure enduring thing to guitar music was this. It didn't treat you

:12:18.:12:26.

like an idiot. Before then, you - the archetypal thing you went to a

:12:26.:12:32.

piano teacher she was 90 years old, she was fearsome. You made a mistake

:12:32.:12:36.

and she slapped you with a ruler. Bert said, you can do rock-and-roll

:12:36.:12:42.

and it is really fun. He levelled the field. Brought the guitar

:12:42.:12:48.

forward and knead available for everybody. A bit like how Pavarotti

:12:48.:12:55.

made opera famous to the masses. It was Pavarotti. Sadly, Bert died last

:12:55.:13:00.

year aged 916789 his manual is still in print. The question is, 50 years

:13:00.:13:06.

on, can it continue to inspire a new generation of British musicians? --

:13:06.:13:11.

91. We have challenged 17-year-old singer-songwriter Flo to learn to

:13:11.:13:18.

play in a day, the Weedon way. Do you play instruments at the moment?

:13:18.:13:22.

A bit of piano, not really classically with a teacher or

:13:22.:13:25.

anything. What difference would it make to you if you were able to play

:13:25.:13:30.

guitar? So much difference. I have all these lyrics, but I need

:13:30.:13:35.

something that is going to help me create a melody. And, it saves me

:13:35.:13:40.

having to find someone who plays the guitar. It would save me explaining

:13:40.:13:44.

to them, this is how I kind of want. It they never really get the vibe

:13:44.:13:52.

I'm going for. Bert believed in hard work and learning to sight read

:13:52.:13:56.

music. He also understood that the new generation was in a hurry. He

:13:56.:14:04.

showed them a few basic chords to get them rocking. They learnt their

:14:04.:14:10.

A chord out of playing the day. And the chord of D. If you are a

:14:10.:14:16.

songwriter you can write song with those two chords. What they got from

:14:16.:14:25.

Bert's book was an intro into doing what they ended up doing better than

:14:25.:14:35.
:14:35.:15:01.

anybody did since. Let us see how but she has managed to play it in a

:15:02.:15:08.

single afternoon. So perhaps there is something to be said for a little

:15:08.:15:11.

bit of technique in doing it the Bert Weedon way.

:15:11.:15:21.

Thank you, carry. You were saying, Ronnie, her fingers will be sore. I

:15:21.:15:28.

had a look at it this afternoon, so let's have a little go now. I have

:15:28.:15:37.

never played a guitar before. Here we go. This is apparently...

:15:37.:15:47.
:15:47.:16:24.

Alex. I will unplug you. Loads of people go online to learn guitar,

:16:24.:16:30.

and I have done that myself. But you have got this whole new channel on

:16:30.:16:38.

YouTube. Yes, it is in infancy at the moment, but it is going to be

:16:38.:16:46.

interesting. There is old Faces footage. And you have art stuff on

:16:46.:16:53.

there as well? Loads of people won't know you as an artist. They don't.

:16:53.:16:58.

All around the world, people say, I didn't know you painted. It is a

:16:58.:17:04.

great thing to have up my sleeve. have some footage here of your

:17:04.:17:13.

exhibition, how on earth to you decide what to hang? This was a

:17:13.:17:18.

tribute to the Stones. There was a heavy emphasis on the boys as

:17:18.:17:26.

subject matter. I thought I would really get into it, get my teeth

:17:26.:17:29.

into many different ways of presenting the band, and there is

:17:29.:17:35.

one painting their that we show with money, and I used real money as a

:17:35.:17:40.

backdrop, a little tongue in cheek to the ticket prices. Have the other

:17:40.:17:48.

members got pieces of your art in their houses? Yes, I have forced the

:17:48.:17:55.

pieces on them. Did they pay you for them?

:17:55.:18:00.

Is this about relaxing for you? What frame of mind are you in when you

:18:00.:18:04.

are doing it? It is a great thing that I can do on my own, and there

:18:04.:18:10.

is only me to blame. When you are doing a group effort in the music,

:18:10.:18:16.

that is give and take, which is lovely, but with the art, it is

:18:16.:18:21.

almost a meditation. Because the feel of the music that you have

:18:22.:18:25.

their is very difficult to that of -- different to that of your

:18:25.:18:33.

landscapes. That is true. I have a place in Ireland, my Irish studio.

:18:33.:18:43.

And many views from hotel windows on tour. Various Prague. Pegasus, my

:18:43.:18:50.

big horse, which is in Britain Street. I love animals, I love

:18:50.:18:57.

drawing horses and people. All kinds of subject matter, all kinds of

:18:57.:19:05.

materials. And what is your process when you go to paint? Have you got

:19:05.:19:10.

more than one painting on the go at a time? Sometimes I have had ten

:19:10.:19:16.

paintings on the go. You keep the flow going. And how does it fit in

:19:16.:19:22.

with your music? Do you see yourself more as a musician? Have you got any

:19:22.:19:30.

more gigs coming up? I often paint to music, and I often played to a

:19:30.:19:36.

painting. Whatever comes up. I have been asked to do a blues Festival in

:19:36.:19:43.

October, which is something I may get behind. There are lots of

:19:43.:19:48.

exhibitions and lots of musical offers on the counter. But I have

:19:48.:19:53.

got my new YouTube channel starting today, and you can always get me at

:19:53.:20:00.

Ronnie Wood on the twitter. And if you would like to see any of Ronnie

:20:00.:20:07.

Wood's exhibition in the flesh, you can. Ronnie's exhibition Raw

:20:07.:20:10.

Instinct is currently on at the Bruton Street galleries.

:20:10.:20:13.

Here in our studio we're having our own exhibition with the four

:20:13.:20:16.

finalists in the One Show Summer Art Competition. Before Ronnie picks his

:20:16.:20:20.

winner, here's Phil with the story of how they created their final

:20:20.:20:23.

submissions. In June, we launched the One Show on

:20:23.:20:28.

art competition 2013 for amateur artist. The theme was where I live,

:20:28.:20:34.

and your response was amazing. Last week, we came one step closer to

:20:34.:20:38.

finding our winner when the judges selected four finalists to go

:20:38.:20:43.

through to the final round. They have now been set another challenge

:20:43.:20:47.

to create a new drawing or painting on the theme of the dish summertime.

:20:47.:20:52.

It is this work that will ultimately decide our winner, rather than their

:20:52.:21:00.

original entries. Our first finalist is Lucy Howard. The judges loved

:21:00.:21:10.
:21:10.:21:12.

humour in my paintings. I like to make people smile and see them

:21:13.:21:17.

enjoying looking at my pictures. When I had the theme for Britain in

:21:17.:21:23.

summertime, sat in the garden one night, it came to me, the idea being

:21:23.:21:28.

outside in the garden, eating a cream tea. I have still got over

:21:29.:21:34.

half of the painting to finish. Some of the plants in the background of

:21:34.:21:39.

the picture have been really hard to do, and the picket fence has been

:21:39.:21:46.

quite difficult as well. Our next finalist is Brian Kamau with a

:21:46.:21:54.

portrait of his brother, Alexander. This was technically strong, and the

:21:54.:22:00.

character shines through. Ever since I was a kid, I could draw. I was

:22:00.:22:05.

obsessed with drawing cartoons. No one could ever believe how accurate

:22:05.:22:09.

my drawings were. I wanted to make them the best I could, like

:22:09.:22:16.

photorealism. I want to capture every single poor, every wrinkle.

:22:16.:22:21.

British summer Time has a lot to do with people's moods. I have tried to

:22:21.:22:27.

catch the happy mood that summer brings to everyone. Doing a piece in

:22:27.:22:33.

one week is a lot of work. I am such a perfectionist. I think I will be

:22:33.:22:41.

ready. Kerrigan Rennigade's portrait of Pappy is the next one to get

:22:41.:22:49.

through. The judges loved it because it is loose and expressive. One of

:22:49.:22:55.

the judges said that you could tell that you love someone very much by

:22:55.:23:01.

looking at the portrait, and that is what I was hoping to do. When we got

:23:01.:23:05.

the brief for Great Britain summer, the thinking cap was on

:23:05.:23:10.

straightaway. My back garden was straight out onto the woods when I

:23:10.:23:17.

was a little girl. I would put my wellingtons on and jump the back

:23:17.:23:26.

fence. These days, a lot of kids don't go out and play any more, they

:23:26.:23:32.

don't get dirty and get in the mud. They stay in all the time and don't

:23:32.:23:38.

enjoy their summer the way I used to enjoy my summer. So I have decided

:23:38.:23:44.

to put something in that is close to my family. Hannah Farley is a

:23:44.:23:48.

textile student, and the judges liked afternoon sale because of its

:23:48.:23:53.

delicacy, stitched on handmade paper. It is a different take on

:23:53.:24:00.

drawing. I do a continuous line drawing most of the time, you can't

:24:00.:24:04.

really stop a sewing machine and start again. So it has acted the

:24:04.:24:08.

same for me as drawing with a pen. It is just more control with how

:24:08.:24:16.

fast you are going. My new project is definitely influenced by a little

:24:16.:24:22.

village up our road. I grew up there. This is somewhere where I

:24:22.:24:27.

played when I was younger. It made sense to have it there for a British

:24:27.:24:32.

summertime, as it is so close to home. I have done some sketches and

:24:32.:24:35.

made the paper. It is ready to start going on the actual peace now, which

:24:35.:24:41.

is exciting. There are people in this one, and I am not overconfident

:24:41.:24:46.

with drawing people, so that is probably the only worry, really.

:24:46.:24:52.

Oh, it is getting close to the moment! Just before the show began,

:24:52.:24:55.

you all reviewed them and had a really good look. What were you

:24:55.:25:01.

looking for? Ronnie was asked to judge on interpretation of the

:25:01.:25:10.

theme, wow factor and technical skill. He gets the final vote.

:25:10.:25:19.

Remind us where the winning image is going. At Salford Quays.

:25:19.:25:24.

We are now going to have a closer look at them. First we've got Lucy

:25:24.:25:34.
:25:34.:25:34.

Howard from Taunton. The models are imaginary people, but I did get my

:25:34.:25:39.

husband and daughter to pose. really does convey British

:25:39.:25:45.

summertime. It has really caught the essence. It has a sense of humour

:25:45.:25:52.

and a very good application of technique. Are you a socks and

:25:52.:26:02.
:26:02.:26:13.

sandals man? It is a very gentle Gloucester. You drew your brother

:26:13.:26:18.

last time. Who is this lovely lady? This is a girl I used to go to

:26:18.:26:26.

school with. Any history?No. which fairground is this behind us?

:26:26.:26:32.

Gloucester fair, which comes around during my birthday. The eyes are

:26:32.:26:37.

incredible. When I saw that from a distance, I thought it was a

:26:37.:26:47.
:26:47.:26:47.

photograph. It is very technically well executed with the pencil, and

:26:47.:26:56.

yes, it is very well done. Well done, Brian. Next we've got Hannah

:26:56.:27:01.

Farley from Hindhead. This has all been done on a sewing machine. How'd

:27:01.:27:09.

you get the colours? It has watercolours behind it, so it is

:27:09.:27:13.

half watercolour painting and half sewing machine drawing. Have you

:27:13.:27:18.

ever seen anything like this before, Ronnie? I love this. It is handmade

:27:18.:27:23.

paper, isn't it? And a lot of the shading isn't watercolour, it is

:27:24.:27:29.

actual material and fibre. It is very well done. This is a real hot

:27:29.:27:34.

contender, and it shows a freedom and a feel of a real experienced

:27:34.:27:42.

artist. We are sensing a love for this one. Finally we've got Kerrigan

:27:42.:27:48.

Rennigade from North Lanarkshire. Last time we met you, you did a

:27:48.:27:53.

lovely painting of your grandfather. Has he seen this new painting?

:27:53.:28:00.

really likes it. And was this one more difficult? It was, because of

:28:00.:28:05.

the size, but I managed, so I am happy. What you reckon, Ronnie?

:28:05.:28:14.

it watercolour? I like it. Let's move back. A huge congratulations to

:28:14.:28:17.

all of our finalists for getting here, they've beaten 700 other

:28:17.:28:21.

entries to get here but it's not up to Phil, me or Alex who the winner

:28:21.:28:30.

is, it's up to Ronnie. The time has come. I will take the blame, and

:28:30.:28:38.

without any further messing about, I have to give it to Lucy.

:28:38.:28:45.

Lucy, how do you feel? Very chuffed. Thank you.

:28:46.:28:52.

Congratulations, well done. That's it for tonight. Thank you for our

:28:52.:28:56.

judges. And thank you to Ronnie for judging the competition. If you want

:28:56.:29:00.
