Hi Glen, Thanks for chatting with me,
No worries – good to meet you in cyberspace.
How are you doing?
Doing OK thanks and happy to be out playing live again.
Give us a small bio about who you are for those who may not know.
I was a founder member of the Sex Pistols contributing a lot of material to the bands output. I was also heavily involved in our reformation world tours in later years. I have played in many bands subsequently including the Rich Kids, Iggy Pop, the Faces, and have worked with many esteemed other people too but throughout all that, the constant is I have always been a songwriter and have pursues a solo career that has taken me to the four corners of the globe.
You are going on the road with your ‘Sex Pistols’ Catalogue tell us more about what to expect from the shows.
I am playing songs from all aspects of my career both old and new and they all dovetail nicely as I was the fellah that wrote them. I do include a couple of Pistol’s songs, so there is something for everyone as they say.
Do you have a Song set prepared which you can tell us or is it one each day will be different?
I know what I will start and end with but the bit in-between is up for grabs as I like to play it by ear and gauge the audience as I go along so anything can happen which keeps everyone in their toes.
We’ve heard the tour will be like we’ve never heard the songs before; can you tell us more about that and what was the inspiration behind the changing the tracks up a little?
Well they were all written in my acoustic guitar so you will be hearing them in their bare stripped back majesty but also I feel I have a particular way of presenting them that many feel a refreshing delight.
Will we see a live record come out from one of the shows to showcase those songs in a new way for those who can’t make the tour?
Maybe down the line sometime but I will be releasing a brand spanking new full band album early in the new year.
Will you have support on at any of the shows and if so, can you tell us who?
It will be local supports that I will be interested to see too.
