Clivo Hillman's Half Decent Half Hour

I chat with my old mate Mark Beardy Beard about , typically all sorts of stuff including the Brighton music scene of the 80's, the formation of the Midniters, Mark's introduction to the double bass and the development of his superb unique style and of course we talk about the Gold Lame outfit that gave us the legend that was Mr Sex. Great fun interview, we could have carried on for hours.

Interview with Knocksville, popular purveyors of full steam ahead Psychobilly. Martin , Chris and Jason joining me in a somewhat chaotic but highly entertaining chat where we discuss bands, music and a whole lot of other stuff.  Plenty of swearing and me being ridiculed , in a friendly way, I think....
