Interesting piece.  Best find Roger Burridge then...

Looking forward to the box set and a first official release of the Manor Sessions.

Time Will Show The Wiser 1969 though?  Tut, tut... (and I also disagree with the 'albums were poor in the early 90's and got much better again after Chris joined' line).

It's quite the departure from the usual "...and what was Sandy really like?" isn't it?  [;-)
And I'd never have suspected that of the Myths and Heroes recording.  :o

Great interview. I loved the Swarb story in the nightclub 'Ang that up'. Hilarious, I can visualise him sliding off and trying out his dance moves.

Interesting interview with some straight talking from Peggy, admitting his bass playing isn't as good as it was, presumably as a result of his injury a few years back.

Lots of deserved praise for John Gale, too.

Indeed. I was pleased to see someone asking some straight questions in the first place.

Well, the page works for me. (Ok, very weak)
Is there something unusual about your IP address?

It works from clicking through from within the interview page, but I get the same problem clicking direct from your link, Adrian.

Odd, because it works for me, straight off.

Very strange that the link works for some but not others. Browser issue perhaps? I use Chrome almost exclusively.

Thanks David & Andy. Still very strange that a link works for some but not others, but I'll treat it as SEP.
