Fascinating interview. What a CV of bands to have worked with. Thanks for uploading.
Another interesting & enjoyable interview John. Keep em coming, thanks. I was an original Bowie boy who became a first wave punk then an anarcho punk who got into post punk and industrial music etc via TG/ PTV blah blah blah. Interviews like this fill in missing pieces of a long story with people who have so much to share. I’d never heard of Nick but now know I’ve heard stuff he worked on. Likewise I’d never heard of Paul Simpson but was aware of many he knew or worked with and the other night I watched a documentary on Hipgnosis who I was also ignorant about but know so many of their iconic album covers. Basically what’s I’m saying is you learn something new all the time and interviews like yours are great at adding missing pieces to our personal cultural sub cultural jigsaws. With respect - Yrs Trev (I once shared a story with you about a run in with the anchorsholme greasers in the early 70s in Thornton Cleveleys. They didn’t like us young crombie wearing, feather cut hair, bootboys 😂)
