I’m not sure I can hear anyone being as good as peak Mk1 tbh. I was having a think about this HC remaining a quality songwriter thing, and I genuinely cannot hear it. I thought I’d jog my memory and have a look through the Spotify discography. Honestly, except for Dead Of Night, I can’t see one memo...

Same with Ware. Great series of interviews. I’m just listening to part 2 of his Mark White chat.
ABC - Now there was a great 80s band of diminishing returns.

Indeed.
He succeeded in really annoying me, so fair play to him

I said still continuing, not making up.

In some fictional universe.where Hot Cat On A Tin Roof, Harry Power, Known Unto God and Miss You (both versions ) don’t exists.

Actually, sounds quite a happy place!

The frightening thing is imagining a still continuing Mk 1 Stranglers, Hugh and JJ in separate transport, not a glance at each other on stage, topping up their pensions, while grinding out School Mam (I was at Ally Pally!) or some other cr**.

Live band backing them And apparently a completely immersive media and light show. Although I am very clear Im not actually seeing t...

I was at Brighton with my son, upstairs this time unlike Guildford a couple of weeks before, where I was downstairs with the hoardes. We turned up as the Ruts were finishing, which was no great musical loss to me. I wandered out to get a beer during their set in Guildford, as I found their solid sou...

Bargain is the tour poster -£5, with the “ Final Full UK tour” & “In Memory Of Dave” at the top.

Unlike Guildford a couple of weeks ago, they now also have Dark Matters vinyl, signed by JJ, Baz & Jim. £35.

Agreed
I’m not a particular fan of the Barry years. Odd one or two songs are ok.
But Drums and Wires is where XTC really took off for me.

Totally agree Sir, and Jim is a fantastic drummer I should know as I've played most of Jet's patterns over the years and some are really tricky but Jim is a tour de force in the skins, no drug references intended. Lt Jama. I have a mate who is world class pro drummer, awards winner, etc. He really ...
