and
where did you meet winscale?
s - yeah, matt said he had
joined a band called "cheer the cock 2", an` i asked if i could join and
play something. and they said i could play theremin and juice harp, so
i went along, and they practiced in the back of moon music, do you know
they`d broken in, and were playing any of the guitars they fancied.
. . . i wound up playing trombone
and washboard, and we fired the place before we left
so was
winscale the singer then?
s - yeah, there was this sweaty
pissed up litte man, and he was swearing his head off and smashing things.

so was
he the singer?
s -
. . . eventually he joined in when we were playing pretty vacant, but by
then he`d smashed up the trombone slide, so i had to play the whole thing
on the washboard, and it was so fast that my fingers bled all over it.
