about

.The year was 2000. This was The Big Time - a support slot on an actual tour, in the actual tour bus, with the UK's best ever accidental popstars & notorious post-punk anarchists Chumbawamba, who i first accidentally bumped into in 1987 because we both did songs in support of the striking Dover seafarers. They later pretty much shifted my thinking & my life too when I found their album "Never Mind the Ballots" in Ealing Our Price one day & decided to give it a go. & there I am, 13 years later, with my amateur acoustic anarchist tendencies, bunking their tour bus to - errr... Whitehaven Civic Hall! I learned some valuable life lessons on the tour (which the Chumbas of course knew already)... The Big Time is a fabrication, a fiction, & not at all like it looks from a distance (but that's ok because it can be fun for a while too) - pretty much like everything else... broccoli is really good to dip in houmous (backstage at the Cambridge gig, there was lots of this. Apparently it was part of something called A Rider)... & you shouldn't shit in tour bus toilets. I have never had occasion to use that last piece of knowledge again, but i have dipped a whole lot of broccoli into a great deal of houmous over the last 23 years.
