Loved this show! I remember messaging you when I heard Ryan was supporting The Alarm and saying how great he was. Then at the show in Reading I met Ryan (Clang!).
Wow wow wow ,that was fkn superb, ive been meaning to watch this for weeks .thoroughly enjoyed it . I met baz once at the stadium of light up here in Sunderland and just said hello , i always loved the stranglers and have seen them a few times . Some great stories in this interview, love the fact baz is a massive neil young fan as I am too . Love the picture on your wall , welcome home stokoes boys on the wearmouth bridge, I remember that, just after we won the f a cup against leeds . But most amazingly I also had a soft spot for man city for exactly the same reasons as baz , Dave Watson, Dennis tuart and Micky horswill all moved from Sunderland to man city. Haway baz , bring the stranglers to Sunderlands fire station venue for a couple of nights . Great show smiley , very entertaining on this very quiet nightshift on hartlepool docks . All the best
Was lucky enough to meet Baz at st pancras station a few years back........top fella have got a fantastic photo of him with my at the time 14 year old daughter who immediately shared it with everyone on her phone😂....
I was at that gig as I’m friends with Esther. I did the first gig for them on that tour. Took them for a curry beforehand and sat next to Baz. I didn’t know him very well before that, but he soon had me chatting away and crying with laughter. A lovely, friendly, down-to-earth guy. The sort of person you want to have a beer with, not because he’s the singer/guitarist in the best band in the world, but because he’s so likeable and such good fun.
Great listen , been friends with James since his Chelsea days , and enjoyed your Griff show and thanks for saying hi to the guy with the best hair in rock n roll apparently 😅
@@ClangThePodcast I edited my last post I put should instead of sure. I see smiley lives in Fleet I was brought up just down the road from there. Been to Fleet lots of times. But as an adult some of the places I lived in are London Looe in Cornwall Auckland New Zealand Sydney Australia Now like on a tropical island in the Philippines. Currently I play the djembe in a Filipino djembe group. Love the podcast.
Great guest to have . Saw Dylan at The 100 Club a few months ago. My pal Sue knows him. Mind you everyone knows Sue. Nice story about Noel with you Smiley 😃
I met Roger Taylor in the pub last year and I had a copy of our demo and a flyer in my hand as I was gonna give it to the pub landlord which I promptly gave to Roger and he was really good about it. Still waiting for the phone call lol 😉
