Jah Wobble - touring in October - is outstanding company and rattles on here like a steam train, sparking off at tangents in a brilliant, barely steerable monologue with a crackling cast of characters. It’s not often a podcast gets a visitor mid-recording who says, “I’ve put more poison in - but the good news is, there’s nothing in your traps!” Here you will find …   … an afternoon with Anthony Hopkins   … the time Ginger Baker got the wrong dessert - “a bowl of rhubarb went flying”   … East End violence: the Whitechapel firm v the Mile End mob   … why bands are like short-order cooks   … his first gig with Public Image – teargas, barricaded in the dressing-room and the head of security getting kicked in the throat   … and his second gig – “someone threw a frozen pig’s head and it lay there looking balefully up at me”   … Wilko Johnson (“a caged tiger”) and Lee Brilleaux tying his shoelaces to the mic lead   … Bob Marley at the Lyceum and how Aston Barrett changed the game   … tour managers whose metal briefcases have a cosh and a pepper spray   … onstage exorcisms with the Invaders Of The Heart   … John Lydon meeting Arthur Brown, the Heavy Metal Kids, Woody Woodmansey and the man with six fingers in Get Carter   … and his community music project ‘Tuned In’ at Merton Arts Space, Wimbledon Library.    Order tickets here: https://www.songkick.com/artists/13218-jah-wobble/calendar Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
