Jah Wobble - 40 hilarious unedited minutes interrupted by a pest control officer

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/calendarFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
