This has been the best episode for me. Wobble is a superb raconteur with a lovely old school London accent which although ubiquitous in my youth has almost disappeared. It reminded me of the Tufty Club in Brockwell Park where the boys I played with had Irish and Jamaican parents. They all spoke like Wobble until they went home and adopted the accents of their respective cultures. The sound that came from each home was the soft country burr of Jim Reeves , they both loved country music but Jim was the king. Family Man Barrett played such lyrical bass lines because he was a singer originally and played like he sang. He's rumoured to have more children than Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Another slice of Wobble pie would be most welcome.
Loved the first edition of his book. great interview, he's always so open and honest, and such a way with words, as well as a brilliant musician involved with some great records.
Thanks for this one, gents - I like Jah Wobble, not just as a musician, but also as a yooman bean with a good story to tell, and it's been a very pleasant conversation indeed... ☝️😎
If the BBC is an organization that bilieve's in equal rights and equal oppurtunities, why don't we have newsreaders who speak in the same way/ dialect as John here ?
What a great bloke. I could listen to his stories all day, brilliant guy.

Wobble. Top bloke.
Great interview, but way too short unfortunately. Could you do a show where Mark gives us a tour of his book shelves?
This is the most entertaining guests you’ve had on!!!😂 superb
his current band is cracking
seen him in aberdeen recently
top notch
'i was big in the 70s' lol
A first-class individual.
Hands down best interview on here yet. Can't wait to read the diamond geezers book! Rick Beato has his niche, but this is propper! Please DO a PART 2

Jah wobble is brilliant
Always great value
Great interview - top bloke !
Very cool guy.
A friend of mine said he heard Jah once say over the rail speaker system "I used to be someone" 🤣
legend ! metal box was years ahead of its time....
Fantstic thankyou for this.
Ha loved this interview.
Seems to have come out of it all with less baggage than the other John. Good interview.
And less money.
I thought it was a real shame Lydon took the decision not to invite Wobble back for the PIL reunion.
@@jonhelmer8591 Lydon is a populist/fascist ''wanker'' would Wobbles have wanted to play with him again?
Sound Bloke !☘️
John is sound. Always rowed his own boat, with Nora.
Top man honest nails it
How about mirroring the book by getting him back for an extended version? Such good value.
I'm not into PIL but he seems a decent bloke and a serious musician.
Brilliant, innit?
He’s got a great story telling mode, funny and off beat.
Jah Wobble mighty bass tones...the anti Sid Vicious type...
Just wanna say, Metal Box rebuilt in dub is a totally storming version which to my ears sounds better than the original. It's that massive phat bass.
