The Speedfreaks ball- a cracking line up.Who's performance are especially looking forward to?

Im looking forward to seeing some good old psychobilly bands again , i used to see a lot at the klubfoot years ago, and had my own band who played a wierd hybrid country punk comedy style we were called the BLUBBERY HELLBELLIES and done about 700 gigs over 5 years. so any of the psycho bands really

What makes you happy at the moment?

Meeting good folk having a laugh , or good disscussion on stuff that means a lot to me like animal rights , or conspiricy theories, drinkin, acting the goat, driving my horse and waggon, travelling, gigging , singing ballads and country , and 50s rock nroll songs, writing songs, do you want me to go on?

What's pissing you off at the minute?

Sheeple with zero insight , who are happy to have no individuality, who chant monosylibic slogans and think theyre whacky and free, who wouldnt recognise an original thought or action if it hit em slap in the face, and moronic violence either by brain dead arseholes on the streets or by our wonderful( not elected by hardly anyone) goverment, for example in iraq. also people who think theyre into punk rock who only go to the really big gigs by the biggest bands , a lot of these so called fans wont go to support the smaller groups they only wanna go to the corperate gigs at large venues pay a fortune to get in and buy piss weak ale at inflated prices , those of you who do this are as bad as the people who only go to big shows by genesis , tina turner , dire straits etc, dont think your being a bit alternative coz its a punkrock show , go to the smaller places, and support your local scene, you lazy twats.

What will you be doing in 10 years time?

The same as ive been doing for the last 30 years , playing drinking laughing and moaning, hopefully
