Roddy, would it be fair to say you were given a rough time from the SLF audience when the Tearjerkers supported them on tour. Did one of SLF want you on the tour or did it come via your management?

Jake saw the Tearjerkers at Dingwalls Camden town London and asked us to support as he liked what we were doing - he got a rock,a,billy haircut with a blonde quiff for the tour!
We did have problems on a few gigs, Arnold Chicken Shorts off you Teds and such- but over all it was great fun. spent alot of time -both bands and crew in bars up and down the country*

What did you think of SLF's cover of "Doesn't Make it all Right"? The Tour you did with SLF was a strange time for them as they were trying to break free of punk and their album of the time "Now Then" could not have been much further away from punk if it tried, unfortunately their audience still wanted "Inflamable Material". I can see why they decided to knock it on the head after that LP.

I shouldnt say this but i liked it better than the Specials!! heresay i hear you say* Probably cause of my punk roots. Yes i think Jake wanted to get away from the yob crowd that had taken over from the original punk rockers. It was the same for me doing the Tearjerkers when Mods and Skins were turning up wanting a Specials show.

I really think they did the song Justice. I hear they are doing a version of "Concrete Jungle" at the moment.
I think the B wrote a song about it called "The Weight" because no matter what they did next it was always going to be a weight around their neck!!!eatles
