I am a golden god!

Fine interview with Captain Sensible in MOJO 329 – not a bitter bone in his 66-year-old body, bless him. His recollection of the 1977 support slot The Damned undertook on tour with Marc Bolan brought back a happy memory. Four of us set out from Lowestoft in a mate’s Reliant Robin van; I was one of the unlucky two lying down in the back for the 50-mile journey to West Runton Pavilion, soundtracked with Keef Hartley and Edgar Broughton tapes. Queuing outside the venue an hour before the gig, the sublime opening to Jeepster rang out and we peered through the ill-fitting drapes into the venue to see Bolan soundchecking whilst Rat Scabies and the Captain pogoed around the empty venue. A sublime moment that prefigured a wonderful gig.
