The ramp on your Rob Allen is mad.

What a great song, what a great band, proper. Perhaps the greatest first verse in music, ever... I'm a human fly I spell (it) F-L-Y I say buzz buzz buzz and it's just because I'm a human fly and I don't know why I've got 96 tears and 96 eyes ..genius.

Some great bass, some fine flute, some Dizzy G, man they swing.

Welcome

These are fvckin’ splendid!

Welcome and we’ll have none of that conchie talk around here, little old, good grief, most of us are older than you and we are having a time so keep going, it’s more addictive than crack.

Actually I’m watching (and listening to) Gerald McBoing Boing...

You, Sir, are a man of quality and distinction.

Get in! Sir Horace Gentleman. Top choice.

Welcome.

Reamer, use a tapered reamer Well can you put your drill in your bag, oh no!

Got you, yes, agreed.

I partook in the songwriting process in every band I was a drummer in.

Didn’t we all! Not the easiest guitarist to emulate, I can never see what he’s actually doing, even when I was lucky enough to be at a rehearsal I still couldn’t work it out, I blame the hot sake. I’m not a big Cult fan oddly enough I got dragged to several of their gigs as a lot of my pals were right into them, having said that I very much enjoyed that gig at The Lyceum. I'm glad you mentioned David Jay, I thought he was an excellent bass player in an equally excellent band whose gigs I did not have to be dragged to.

This is a good idea, it was noisy last time, brilliant, delicious and noisy.

Exactly!

Which is why they weren’t called Chas, Dave & Burt.

Totally. There are very few albums where every track is a cracker but DWWS is one of ‘em.

Yes, they were when I saw them.

A proper gentleman with a super dry sense of humour. I thought Big Paul and Raven were a great rhythm section.

I have very nearly had that as a tattoo several times, I am glad to report I remain a clean skin.

Agreed but both Zerøx and Whip In My Valise are on later re-releases. I love The Monochrome Set, I believe (I may have dreamt this) that I was at a Monochrome Set gig the night it was announced that Matthew Ashman had died and they did a song in tribute to him.

Yes. If your first in was Kings then Dirk Wears must be a bit odd, I love some of the tracks on Kings, but then I would being a big fan of tom tom playing but unfortunately Prince Charming finished me off too. I kind of went to that gig as a farewell I suppose.
