WORDS: STEPHEN HILL • PICTURE: PAUL HARRIES
What’s the worst thing about being in a band?
“Dealing with cunts! Cunts who rob your fucking life away from you! I don’t get paid to play, I get paid to hang around with those fucking four! It’s all tongue-in-cheek, mind! I love those boys, but hanging around with those fuckers for the last 20 years has been quite the landmark! Ha ha ha!”
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
“Don’t trust white people! Ha ha ha! No, no, the best is don’t expect fuck all, but give it all you’ve got, and it’s true.It was a long time ago…who told me that? The girl from Chumbawamba!”
