Oh I saw that pop up on Youtube a day or two back. Thanks for reminding me, I didn't have the time to watch then.
Got to line that up for tomorrow or maybe Friday if I can hang on.
Cheers, this is a really great batch of interviews, maybe the best...

It's properly interesting right to the end that. Superb. Visiting Don as a chiropractor, at the time when he started to suffer from MS, what a strange way for that relationship to end. Even a half shout-out for The Fall there. I need to listen to 'Decals' very soon, now.

Yeah, that was a bit sad really wasn't it.

And similar in that they both totally gave up making music too. I got the feeling that he felt he'd 'done it' and got what he wanted and as as far as he needed then focused on summat else.

The older I'm getting the more I want to make music again with some like minded individuals. I haven't got to where I want yet but having time away from proper-gigging has helped me know what I want to do.
