I’m a big fan of Scott Walker and I do one of his songs I’ve written lots of stuff over the years and done work that’s influenced me and other people. Yeah it’ll be all kinds of songs that I’ve performed on. Will you be doing Sex Pistols stuff and all your other work with the likes of Iggy Pop? People ask me why I’m playing an acoustic guitar but I’ve been playing with it my whole life so I’m pretty good at that as well. I did a week there and basically it’s me playing some of the songs I’ve written on my acoustic guitar interspersed with stories of how I wrote them and the people who were around when I wrote them. So it’s a show that I did a couple of years back at Edinburgh Festival. So what will the shows be like in November? Maybe! I’m just a bit jetlagged at the moment. You sound like you could do with a coffee and brunch at the minute If you get down early I’d recommend the brunch. It should get me geared up for the tour in November where I’m stopping off in Manchester at Gorilla which I’ve never been to. I played with British Electric Soundbase who are renowned for getting guests to sing with them so I did a little song. I was in Liverpool doing a little thing with Heaven 17. He wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols but was ousted from the band in February 1977 and replaced by Sid Vicious. Such was the case with Glen Matlock – songwriter and bassist in the Sex Pistols, a band who changed the face of music in the short period they were together and were without doubt one of the most controversial and influential bands of all time. It’s quite refreshing when you go into an interview expecting something of a tough customer and get the total opposite – one of the loveliest, most interesting conversations you could have.
